*'''Delete'''. There's the beginning of notability, but she just doesn't have enough right now to entirely pass. When she is mentioned in the news, it's almost always in passing in relation to larger events as a whole. This is a little tricky as she was related to the larger events, but booking the acts for a large show doesn't automatically grant notability since that tends to be one of those things that falls under [[WP:NOTINHERITED]]. (IE, notability is not automatically inherited by relation with notable persons or events.) When it came down to it, the only two links I found that really helped show notability was [http://activate.metroactive.com/2012/06/bands-pay-tribute-to-scene-supporter-at-barb-rocks-birthday-bash/ this story about a birthday bash] and [http://www.metroactive.com/best-of-silicon-valley/2010/music-nightlife/staff-picks.html this news article] that says she was voted "best of". Most of the coverage comes from one paper, MetroActive, so it doesn't really show a depth of coverage. We'd really require more coverage than this to show notability because even though she is related to notable events and persons and has had a hand in organizing things, this is sort of considered to be par for the course for people in her line of work. We need to have more coverage to show that she's more noteworthy than most. The two sources I have here are a good start but we will need more.

WP:BLP of a local band manager and promoter with no especially strong claim of notability under WP:NMUSIC. Article relies extremely heavily on primary and unreliable sources, with only one local community weekly even beginning to approach (but not pass) valid sourcing for a Wikipedia article. Shades dangerously toward advertising territory, as well, with sentences like "Wahli is appreciated by her peers for all her hard work and dedication to revitalizing the local music scene". Imagine my lack of surprise, thus, that the article has been edited extensively by User:Barbrocks. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 02:11, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
- It's also very, very closely paraphrased from her official website. The bit you quoted above is actually direct copyvio when you get down to it. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:52, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
- I'd say that we should just run this through a regular AfD and get the basic consensus on notability. If the consensus is that she fails WP:GNG then we can always WP:G4 it if it gets reposted. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:59, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
- Delete. There's the beginning of notability, but she just doesn't have enough right now to entirely pass. When she is mentioned in the news, it's almost always in passing in relation to larger events as a whole. This is a little tricky as she was related to the larger events, but booking the acts for a large show doesn't automatically grant notability since that tends to be one of those things that falls under WP:NOTINHERITED. (IE, notability is not automatically inherited by relation with notable persons or events.) When it came down to it, the only two links I found that really helped show notability was this story about a birthday bash and this news article that says she was voted "best of". Most of the coverage comes from one paper, MetroActive, so it doesn't really show a depth of coverage. We'd really require more coverage than this to show notability because even though she is related to notable events and persons and has had a hand in organizing things, this is sort of considered to be par for the course for people in her line of work. We need to have more coverage to show that she's more noteworthy than most. The two sources I have here are a good start but we will need more. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:08, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
