I'm not a WP:BAND expert, but it doesn't seem like this article is any more than a puff piece. CombatWombat42 (talk) 15:13, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The articles linked to in the article are insufficient to demonstrate notability, and there doesn't appear to be much other coverage around. --Michig (talk) 17:59, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Despite the poor editing of the article and sources sections thus far, some of the sources are indeed notable (eg the Illinois Times and the D'Addario endorsement). And, post-announcement, Mya has received some additional notable press in 2014: a SingOut magazine / WFDU-FM radio interview [1]; NJ alternative music Aquarian Weekly's mention of her as one of the 30 most promising acts of 2014 [2] and, perhaps more tangentially in terms of subject but speaking to notability, her poetry was just featured in the Advocate: [3]. This information can be added to the article by anyone as part of a much-needed edit overhaul. -- User:RyanFreisling @ 13:43, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

NOTE: I have gone ahead and cleaned up/edited the article's references, adding links and marking uncited assertions as 'citation required,' and moving dead links and unclear sources to 'talk'. A few of the article's assertions remain marked 'citation required' but a very significant number are notable, verifiable mentions. Strikes me that the subject is increasingly notable and on the basis of that complaint the article is thus worth keeping. Can anyone speak in more detail to the other complaints on the VfD (use of external links, etc.)?-- User:RyanFreisling @ 14:52, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
