[edit] Byrdie Green
Does not seem to pass WP:Music, at least not by the info given in the article. The very model of a minor general (talk) 14:58, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
- Comment It looks like at least two of those albums listed at the bottom are with Prestige Records; if someone can confirm that, that makes her pass WP:MUSIC. —Quasirandom (talk) 17:11, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

- Make that all four, including the three she's solo. Be good to get more direct citation from a reliable source (possibly the one listed in the article?), but the partially reliable sources I'm finding online convince me she's legit. Changing comment to keep. —Quasirandom (talk) 17:14, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
- Delete. As there are no reliable sources cited, I am persuaded that the article does not comply with the verifiability policy. Stifle (talk) 18:45, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

- Delete None of the albums I found on Billboard charted, so fails WP:MUSIC in my view. ArcAngel (talk) (Review) 14:36, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
- Keep per Quasirandom Albums don't necessarily need to be charted and there seem to be some sources in print or behind paywall as e.g NYT [1] and [2]--Tikiwont (talk) 20:40, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
COMMENT: I think you should keep this page, I can attest to the fact that Byrdie did indeed record for the Prestige Label, as well as Polydor and Polygram. I am her youngest daughter and have the albums in question in my possession. I opt that you keep this article. --Dharbee (talk) 00:53, 16 May 2008 (UTC)Dharbee
- Keep per Dharbee, the artist and article are legit. I should know. She was my mother.--Dharbee (talk) 01:04, 16 May 2008 (UTC)Dharbee
- Keep Notable. A google search for 'Byrdie Green Prestige Records' brings up sites which confirm that the lady did indeed record multiple albums for Prestige Records. The article needs work on the wording but this is no reason to delete it. CBHA (talk) 04:05, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
- Keep Recorded multiple albums with notable labels. The New York Times did at least a couple of pieces on her [3][4]--Oakshade (talk) 06:15, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
