Keep article passes WP:MUSICBIO#C2; a mere look at Extraordinary (Clean Bandit song) as linked to on the article would prove that. After my exam this morning I will add the chart positions to the article.--Launchballer 07:15, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
My apologies, I should have notified you about the deletion discussion; I didn't notice you essentially started the article from a redirect, but I'm glad you found your way here. My thoughts on that is that the album isn't Bass's (she was featured on it), and that is basically her only claim to notability, making it borderline inheritance. I really couldn't find any sourcing that goes beyond just a mention of her being featured on the album, and so there's not much more to say other than that - a redirect would be more appropriate (as was done previously).
Otherwise, if any more editors disagree per WP:MUSICBIO#C2, I'll be happy to withdraw the nomination. I just think the grounds of C2 for a featured singer are iffy without any significant coverage. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 07:49, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I have User talk:Hadji87 on my watchlist, is how I found this. In future, though, it's good practice to check the history before sending to AfD, and this is why. I have added another source and the charts.--Launchballer 10:30, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: I agree with SuperHamster's assessment of the situation - I'm not convinced that "Extraordinary" can be considered Sharna Bass's single under WP:MUSICBIO#C2. Either way, that criteria just indicates that an artist may be notable. The lack of any independent reliable sources giving anything other than a passing mention suggests that she isn't (yet?) notable. There just isn't enough at the moment to merit a stand-alone article.

  • Redirect / merge to Clean Bandit. She's in sources, but only in a passing context to the band. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 13:15, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
