Deletion of Melanie Faye

Comment: I'll elaborate more from where the above editor's re-list comment leaves off. This is an article created by an SPA editor about an up and coming guitar prodigy with a growing instagram following based on amazing social media performances. While she has managed to get some press, AfD emphasizes that notability may be established by reliable sources, but it’s not automatic. To point out coverage for the sake of coverage misses the point; beyond the hype this subject hasn’t actually accomplished anything yet. Nothing released. No sales. No tours. (In a recent interview she says she is currently recording her first EP and planning her first tour. At best, this qualifies as ) As pointed out in previous comments, the sources mostly are the subject talking about her aspirations. This wiki article attempts to prop this subject up with name drops and puffery, such as the sentence, quote: “…was chosen by Fender to demo the Player Series..” is linked to 2 sources: one doesn’t even mention her (instead it uses a photo of her to illustrate the article) and in the other is merely name-checked as an up-and-commer. (Aside: someone edited the references to show that a blog (Stereogum) is owned by Billboard/Hollywood Reporter parent company as if to confer more importance to it. It is still a blog, reflecting an unmonitored opinion rather than editorial oversight.) To be one of numerous people to perform at a industry trade show (NAMM), or having notable musicians/celebs make note of her talent, or being on the cover of a minor quasi-amateur niche publication (She Shreds) are not encyclopedic accomplishments. No prejudice against recreating if her career properly takes off
