No source reliable about this person. Not notable. WP:BLP fail. Siddiqsazzad001 <Talk/> 06:49, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I'm finding lots pf sources covering her very substantially on Google Books as well as some articles about her death from Bulimia and her mom's campaign afterwards. Billboard. Book sources. Etc. Had a major contract with a major label. Successful album. FloridaArmy (talk) 12:08, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - would like to see some evidence that her single or album was a "success". Otherwise the WP:MUS criteria don't appear to be met.

here and here and article about her in the Guardian about her. FloridaArmy (talk) 12:51, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, nothing there to say it was successful, though I grant you it is coverage that may contribute to notability. Deb (talk) 09:55, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - She has media notice for a couple of reasons: being signed as a teenager and then dying at an early age. Musical accomplishments are minor but she does have a relatively robust AllMusic biography [1] plus an appearance at NPR [2] and some news articles on her illness and death [3], [4]. Add those to what FloridaArmy found and it's enough for a stub article at least. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 14:40, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I agree with the comments above. I tried incorporating some of the above sources, and others that I found. From my findings, I believe both the subject notable and potentially her album are notable. I added many of the sources to the article and there are still several others that I haven't added yet or do not have access such as [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11]. The nomination says the subjects fails WP:BLP but that is not the correct policy to cite as she died in 2003. I believe this meets WP:SIGCOV and possibly WP:MUSICBIO #1, 4, 12.
