Gathania

Ninth place finish on Swedish version of Idol is a far cry from notability. Only sources on article are a trviail mention on a blog (can't tell if it's official or user, as it's in a foreign language) and what looks to be her own website or marketer's website. Would need multiple independent reliable sources with nontrivial coverage to demonstrate notability enough for an article here. DreamGuy (talk) 20:11, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Can you provide any evidence of that, such as links to radio station web sites? If it can be verified then the subject might pass WP:MUSIC criterion 11. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:32, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Here is evidence. The google results on Swedish State Radio (Sveriges Radio). http://www.google.se/search?hl=sv&q=Gathania+site%3Asr.se&meta= . It shows some playlists and that Get It Out was on DigiListan for some weeks. This shows she's got airplay on BBC 1 http://www.google.se/search?hl=sv&q=Gathania++site%3Abbc.co.uk&meta=Linnea94 (talk) 13:53, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not-notable at this stage. She may enjoy chart success in the future, but right now she's just an Idol contestant.

Delete per nom. Niteshift36 (talk) 05:36, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Added some references. She is signed with a record company in Great Britain and Sweden, that makes her notable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Linnea94 (talk • contribs) 12:05, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Fails WP:ENTERTAINER, and "she will be big" is not an argument to keep. See WP:CRYSTAL. لenna vecia 18:48, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Jennavecia. --Kuzaar^-T-C- 12:25, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I suppose you and Jennavecia either didnt read the WP:ENTERTAINER or the article itself because that guidline say See WP:MUSIC for guidelines on musicians, composers, groups, etc. Gathania is a musician and not an entertainer. And she fulfills point one and two on WP:MUSIC Criteria for musicians and ensembles. Linnea94 (talk) 14:38, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I can't see "Blame it on You" in either the UK or Swedish charts (UK, Swedish 1, Swedish 2) so I'm not really seeing how WP:MUSIC 1 and 2 apply - she's "been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works" in her capacity as a contestant (hence WP:ENTERTAINER), not - so far as I can see - in her capacity as a musician. WP:MUSIC 2 would apply if she'd charted, not simply by being signed to a record label (which you suggest above makes her notable).

No not Blame it on You but Get It Out is in Swedish 1, week 7-8. And here [1] on your third link. There are two non-trivial references in her article from Realtid and The Sun. Linnea94 (talk) 14:56, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, per WP:MUSIC 2 ("Has had a charted single or album on any national music chart"): "Get it Out" reached 27 in the Swedish charts (chart complies with WP:Record charts). This flag once was red^propaganda_deeds 15:05, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

27th on a Swedish chart is not notable by any stretch of the imagination. What, are you kidding me? DreamGuy (talk) 14:01, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not at all, merely noting that the article achieves notability according to WP:MUSIC. Cheers, This flag once was red^propaganda_deeds 14:20, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the evidence of chart success. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:38, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep have any of you goggled this she is signed to multiple record labels www.victoriaekeberg.com/gathania/gathania.html & http://www.hard2beat.com/artists/gathania

which makes her notable "i think" hwsknudsen although i do agree that 27th on sweedish idol does not maker her notable, but this is now irrelevant, although i think the article needs more work it should not be deleted
