Fails: WP:MUSIC. This article has been deleted mulitiple times. In its present incarnation/recreation, Speedy Delete tags where placed on it but removed due to "charting". While charting is important to an artist, this article does not have the primary sources required by WP:GNG to assert its notability. --moreno oso (talk) 21:40, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Billboard Charts about 'LaLaLa'(feat. Iyaz) says the following, the song entered the charts on #74, it stayed on the charts for 2 weeks and peaked at #52.Intouchwithbertj (talk) 21:47, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Notability is thin but present due to charting hit on major singles chart. Furthermore, here is a decent secondary source about her; the song appears to still be climbing, so it might be best to give this benefit of the doubt.

Strong keep. Mentioned by Billboard magazine (THE music publication for the industry), had a song charting in the top 100 of a national chart, was written about in a major magazine (reliable secondary source). Notability is easy satisfied with these three criteria. Pianotech ^{Talk to me!}/_Contribs 01:14, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Many articles have been deleted and then recreated and kept due to increased notability, as is the case with this artist. The speedy deletion tag removal criteria was justified. --Oakshade (talk) 02:21, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Artist has charted on major singles chart. Abstrakt (talk) 01:39, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Much improved by a few users recently, with reliable sources now in the article. Given the chart success and the level of coverage there should be enough here. Alzarian16 (talk) 13:30, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
