Delete''' See my comment below She passes none of the criteria for  nor . Yes, some singers have emerged from ETO to go on to significant careers, but this singer has not done so yet, although she is obviously talented. When she passes the criteria, she should have an article—not before. The place to wait for that is as a draft in user or draft space, not an article in main space. She has not sung a single leading role with a single major opera company. Even if you look at her roles with the second tier company, English Touring Opera, they are invariably minor ones. You can see that from the press section on her own website http://www.abigailkellysoprano.com/index.php/press-reviews/press-reviews. She has no significant concert career, i.e. as a soloist with leading orchestras in major concert halls. She has no recordings, even in minor roles. She has won no significant awards or placed in any major singing competition. The list of roles/operas/concerts on her website (from which the article is very heavily paraphrased) is very vague, probably intentionally so, as on doing a bit of research, the potentially leading roles pertain to youth opera and student productions. She ''covered'' the role of Così fan tutte|Despina (arguably her only leading role with ETO) but only performed it at the dress rehearsal when the scheduled singer was ill. See the ETO press office http://englishtouringopera.org.uk/about-eto/press-office/ "Please note that Paula Sides, singing the role of Despina in ETO’s tour of Così fan tutte, was unwell during the dress rehearsal, when these photos were taken, so Abigail Kelly, covering the role of Despina, appears in these shots instead of Paula." The concerts are with local choral groups, very minor local "festivals", schools outreach, etc. After searching for more coverage which would qualify the subject for , I cannot find anything apart from the "local girl makes good" article in the ''Birmingham Post'' and http://jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20100813/news/news2.html this very similar article in the ''Jamaica Gleaner'' from four years ago
