Keep The nominator isn't quite clear why s/he wants this deleted. From "one source" i presume notability is the issue. In which case it's never a good idea to nominate an article whose cited source is a lengthy profile in a national newspaper.[1] Here she is is again in The Guardian.[2] And in the NME.[3] The co-subject of this lengthy essay on Kelis and Envy in The Quietus.[4] Here in Plan B.[5] Here, Street Vibes.[6] And in "The female MCs leading the way" in The Times.[7] (paywall) Here, in session for the BBC Asian Network.[8] Here, in session for BBC Radio One.[9] Again on Radio One.[10] Once again [11] 86.44.31.8 (talk) 05:49, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
