Contested speedy. I'm probably one of the more relaxed interpreters of speedy deletion criterion A7 and I suspect many admins would have speedied this one. Previous AfD one year ago. This Orange County independent musician has one independent release, but the article claims a strong local following. Google reveals the following:[1]. Nothing on allmusic.com. The difference from the first AfD is that she now has an independent album release and more GHits. Unfortunately, I still don't think it meets WP:NMG yet. Samir 07:25, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

• Weak keep - mainly on the strength of the SqueezeOC and OCWeekly articles. And over 2,000 g-hits. --Evb-wiki 14:37, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete I see only one reference, the OCWeekly article, that qualifies as a reliable source: Wikipedia:Reliable sources#Biographies of living persons "self-published books, zines, websites, and blogs should never be used as a source about a living person", so it fails to meet WP:MUSIC#Criteria for musicians and ensembles 1. "has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable". If another reliable source is found I would switch to keep. I only get 62 hits for "Reina Boone",[2] though a Google test should be avoided as an argument. dissolve^talk 16:47, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, fails Wikipedia:Notability (music), google search returns a large number of myspace hits, but virtually no non-trivial sources, no major hits, international tours or other WP:Music criteria. Dreadstar † 18:15, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as per above --Hooperbloob 03:32, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
