Shorter version'': your comment makes ''two'' false claims, one of them patently so.  Nothing in it budged me from Weak Keep.  ''Longer version'': Did you really scrutinize the evidence presented?  It seems not.  You say the New York Times article "mentions her in passing", when in fact it doesn't mention her at all -- I added that article as a reference in part to provide evidence to help us evaluate whether the Weiser event qualifies as a "major" music competition under .  You say "The article itself is about fiddling festivals."  No, the article goes into ''detail'' to identify fiddling ''competitions'', but only those in which Ms Bistodeau has performed notably or actually won an event -- the grammatical subject of each such sentence being Ms Bistodeau, not the competitions themselves.  I'm still at Weak Keep, because I'm not sure how  applies in admittedly borderline cases like these.  (See my notes on my vote above.)  Is a 5.5-minute segment in a partly state-funded documentary shown on a metropolitan educational/arts-and-culture TV program a second "published work", meeting (together with the Star-Tribune article about her) the requirement of "multiple" independent RS sources in ?  I don't know, but if so, I think this BLP is within that guideline.  Is the Weiser event a "major" music competition?  I don't know (everything I know about oldtime fiddling as a country music genre, I learned in researching this article.)  But if so, I think this BLP is within the guideline.  Those seem to be the key issues to be resolved here -- and only one of them needs to be resolved in her favor to meet , as I read it.  Making false derogatory statements about the article and its sources does nothing to provide any clearer focus on either of those issues, for this discussion.  If anything, it fits a pattern of ''understating'' accomplishments and recognition that started with the how the AfD was initially listed: "15 year old fiddler and student that won a local state fair contest" -- period, as if there were no more to her musical accomplishments (and how they were notedin the media) than that.  After all, even at the point of AfD listing http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sedra_Bistodeau&diff=407990652&oldid=407804851, the article had references in External Links to national titles won, and a link to the documentary segment
