WP:BLP of a musician and an article about her album, neither of which are properly sourced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. The BLP asserts that she had singles peak #48 and #59 in the Canadian Hot 100, but (a) those chart positions aren't sourced at all, and even a Billboard search fails to verify them, and (b) they aren't high enough chart positions to confer an "inherent" notability freebie in the absence of any WP:GNG-worthy sourcing. The "Canadian Radio Music Awards", further, are not an award that satisfies NMUSIC's award criterion -- that goes to awards like the Junos or the Polaris that get media coverage, not just every single music award that exists, and even a Juno or Polaris nomination would still require reliable source support.
But the only sourcing here comes entirely from her own public relations -- even the "MuchMusic" footnote is really just her own EPK bio rather than journalistic or documentary content created by a MuchMusic broadcast personality -- and even on a ProQuest search for 14-year-old media coverage that wouldn't google, I just got a few glancing namechecks of her existence and absolutely nothing that would actually help salvage the article.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to have more media coverage about her than I've been able to find. Bearcat (talk) 12:13, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
