Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Qiu Xia He
The article might not provide enough evidence of the subject's notability but that's cause for use of the {{tl|notability}} tag. A google search indicates that the artist has been the subject of multiple non-trivial mention in independent publications as for instance http://vancouverjazz.com/chriswong/insync010701.shtml here, http://www.accesasie.com/en/docs/program_2007/bio_Qiu_Xia_He.htm here, http://www.cbc.ca/radio2/cod/concerts/20080207silkr here and http://www.mondomix.com/en/print_artist.php?show=portrait&artist_id=114&reportage_id=114 this pdf download. These are all mentions that focus on the individual musician herself but there are other mentions that focus more on the Silk Road group she founded. Given that the genre in question is not some mainstream stuff but apparently some fairly obscure fusion of world music, I think that's pretty damn notable. Easily qualifies per criteria 1 of
