[edit] Mary Alessi
non notable christian contemporary musician. a few EPs on an indie label, and never toured outside of florida. Page also serves as an advertisement for their ministry. Does not appear to meet WP:BAND ⇒ SWATJester On Belay! 18:28, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
- Delete I was able to find a couple of independent references to her in regards to the release of one of her albums. She is the twin sister of an apparently major star, but I don't see how a bio can be sourced from real sources. --Daniel J. Leivick 18:47, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
- Delete I love the entry under the "Film Appearances" subheading ("None.") Bobanny 18:54, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
- I found that disturbing too. I removed it. I bet it was copied from her sister's article. Royalbroil T : C 20:06, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- Retain - She is well known in the Contemporary Christian music scene as a performer who's music appeals to a diverse musical audience (see Gospel music for information on cross cultural gospel music. BTW the WP: BAND states that "the failure to meet any of these criteria does not mean an article must be deleted." With four released albums (even on an independent label) she has accomplished more that many other musical artist with major label distribution deals.
Absolon S. Kent 22:32, 24 March 2007 (UTC) - Keep. She has chart success on Billboard charts, including the Top Heatseekers. Her current album is probably on the charts right now. I have added the ranking with citation from All Music Guide. Also notice that her bio is on a UK website, which means that she most likely is known internationally.

- Weak keep per the information found (and added to the article) by Royalbroil. -- Black Falcon 21:55, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

KEEP THE ARTICLE: Mary Alessi is a well known artist both in the USA and Europe and people who are interested in her music and ministry would probably like to be able to find out more info about her from websites such as wikipedia.
- Keep seems to have had a modest amount of genre music chart success. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:53, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Her records are stocked in Christian bookshops here in London and has chart positions in the charts relevant to her genre. Therefore meets WP:Music. A1octopus 12:12, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
