[edit] Lin Bo

This completely non-notable person previously had a short article on them containing details of their abilities in the whistle register, however these abilities were all discovered by original research and a quick search of Google provides nothing of use on this person, the stub left after i removed the OR is not worth keeping.--I'll bring the food 11:11, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Google is sceptical, at least in English. Perhaps a Chinese Wikipedian could provide more accurate information, but this individual does not appear to be verifiable. fuddlemark (befuddle me!) 12:20, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Spoke too soon. [1] and [2]. This person exists, and is at least believed to be a whistle register singer. That doesn't mean she actually is (web forae are notoriously unreliable), but it does mean it's not something some bloke made up out of thin air. Unfortunately, the sample of her voice linked from the first forum 404s. fuddlemark (befuddle me!) 12:23, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Not adverse to having the article show her whistle register completely, if a sourced trustworthy article mentions it. There are obvious problems with wikipedia's Original Research doctrine if we listen to something and decide to add it based on our pitch recognition. This isn't quite reading a book as I'm sure you know. Still, this article is not worth keeping, it cannot be expanded upon as there is no interest in it.--I'll bring the food 12:36, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

• delete per nom ability to sing whistle register alone may be sufficient for asserting notability but not for passing WP:MUS. The artist does exist and generates quite a few direct hits. She has released an album in both Tawan and Mainland China in 2003. needs to be developed Ohconfucius 18:17, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

 AFD relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Weak delete per nom. —Xyrael 16:12, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
• Comment still researching info on her. Little reliable info on her right now, but appears from her website that she has a 5 octave vocal range and has definitely released album in 2003 in Taiwan and Mainland. Her album may have charted in Taiwan in the new artist category and won a best newcomer award in 2003. It seems the entry should be under Lin Bao per her official website (in Chinese). In the meantime, I am posting some weblinks to her page. Ohconfucius 07:40, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
