Contested prod. Artist has released four albums and claims one charted single, but three of the four albums are self-released (including the last one: funkee fish is her own company[1], as is KM[2]). The only other one, "Reach for me", was released by Spinout, for which I was unable to determine its notability but which has no article here (not evidence of not being notable, but indicative nonetheless). No Google news results for that album[3] or the last one[4], and that one gets only 54 distinct Google hits[5], not of them from reliable independent sources. She is listed on Allmusic (but no biography, only the simple directory listing of her music), the billboard.com links in the article are copies of Allmusic so are a bit misleading. The article claims that she had one #1 charting single: again it has no Google News hits[6]), and the one chart given as example of her #1 status actually lists the song as having a highest chart position of ... #374 (#48 in the subgenre of acoustic folk).[7] Taken together, this fails WP:MUSIC.

- Delete - Did my own searching to check the nominators claims. All info given by the nominator seems to be dead on. Fails WP:Music. OlYellerTalktome 21:34, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete, the excellent research done by the nom seems to be right on the money. She might conceivably have made #1 on some obscure web chart somewhere, but that's hardly an indication of real notability. Lankiveil (speak to me) 12:56, 28 March 2009 (UTC).[reply]
