Comment: That's all very interesting... but none of that describes how she meets the current guidelines for this sort of article on Wikipedia (see

Comment: We need wp:V|Verifiability outside of her website. Something to backup the claims made...more than one source is needed.  I could make a website that looks just like her's and claim a lot of things that are not verifiable outside of the website.  Thing is wikipedia needs proof, not truth or certainty. She fails both  and ...not to mention . The cnbc story was about not about her exclusively, which an article needs to be.  The story has to be about her and only her which it isn't, making the mention trivial (like rolling stone mentioning a website name in passing in an article.)  While I like a few of her songs, she doesn't pass the guidelines we set up for music/performers.  The rules are the rules.  Especially , , and ...those are non-negotiable and can never be ignored.  So far, much of this is not verifiable outside of her website

Comment: I have promised Alex that I will take another look tomorrow afternoon -- please do not count my vote as final before then.  The music scene is evolving right now, and I think that diminishes the value of the "signed to a label" test specified by .  Ohconfucius seems to have actually done the research and come up with a ''delete'' conclusion, but I admit I haven't done it myself, and that my "ask a friend" test was a little lazy (in fairness, my buddy Pete really does know a crapload about the indie music scene, so it wasn't just like some random friend... but yeah, I should do the research myself).  Anyway, I remain borderline.  I will research again tomorrow, as per Alex's request, and may change my vote.  We shall see

Comment: the ''truly'' independent music world is characterized by the phenomenon that you've never heard of most of the people in it. I've never heard of her either but she seems notable to me. As it happens, Terra Naomi has what can be called significant internet prescence; 193,000 hits http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Terra+naomi%22 (compare to established article topics like The Robot Ate Me with 113,000 and The Olivia Tremor Control with 198,000), attention in the blogosphere http://ypulse.com/nextten.php?le=2463 , and even an appearance in the Internet Archives way back from 2004 http://www.archive.org/details/tnaomi2004-02-07.at831.shnf. She's done national tours http://www.terranaomi.com/tour.php?id=archive, and has even been interviewed on U.S. newschannel CNBC http://ezra.blogs.com/dm/2006/08/terra_naomi_on_.html.  I'd like to see the non-notability but it isn't there. Keep per

Comment: per ... Alex makes an interesting case for the subject meeting , but the best source for that comes from her own website (i.e. tour info) and personally I don't consider that a reliable source.  Beyond that, Google hits are meaningless in my opinion; Olivia Tremor Control may have a similar number of Google hits, but they meet .  All that said, I say weak because she ''is'' close to ; somehow I suspect that in >= another year she will qualify under .  I'm not an eventualist though and  a crystal ball.  This can always be recreated when she meets the guidelines

Comment: For the record, there is no "signed to a label" test -- one of the guidelines is ''two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels'', but this is only one test.  Bands meeting ''any'' criterion on  are suitable for Wikipedia
