Doesn't meet GNG or
WP:NMG - could not find confirmation of the music claim not a single 3rd party RS that confirms notability.

Does Devyn's song "Falling 4 U" qualify under :
The following factors suggest that a song or single may be notable, though a standalone article should still satisfy the aforementioned criteria.
Has been ranked on national or significant music or sales charts.
Devyn Rose's single "Falling 4 U" is currently ranking on
Amazon.com's Top 10 Best sellers Charts
[1] and #1 in R&B
[2] and #1 in Soul
[3] Charts.
Amazon reports to Nielson Soundscan as required in
Record Charts:
A chart is normally considered suitable for inclusion if it meets both of the following characteristics:
It is published by a recognized reliable source. This includes any IFPI affiliate, Billboard magazine, or any organization with the support of Nielsen SoundScan. Recognized national measurement firms, such as Crowley Broadcast Analysis for Brazil or Monitor Latino for Mexico, are legitimate sources of charts.
It covers sales or broadcast outlets from multiple sources.
Please let me know if this helps - I also added and changed information on the page itself to try and better fit the criteria.

Delete. The Voice article, while not the best quality source, is ok, but there isn't much else out there in reliable sources. The Amazon chart doesn't count towards notability. There just isn't enough to justify an article at this time. --

Keep I deleted the article the last time. This time, have added a few more sources after the AfD was started. She's been placed in rotation nationally by major radio stations, aka
WWPR-FM,
WKSC-FM and
WZMX, ranked #1 amongst unsigned artists by Off The Hook magazine, and also has some non-trivial coverage in the form of interviews too, as per references which I've added. Qualifies on
Wikipedia:Notability (music)#Criteria for musicians and ensembles.

I'm not convinced that Off the Hook would qualify as a reliable source, but if I'm missing something there feel free to point it out. Singersroom also, and there isn't much there. The MTV bio cited is clearly not an independently written bio but one submitted by her or her management. The Amazon charts are not an accepted national chart. In my view what we have is below the threshold for notability. --

If they could be shown to satisfy
WP:RS then they should be enough to satisfy
WP:GNG, but I'm not familiar with any of those. If these publications are ok regarding reliability then I would be happy to keep. --

While the chart looks ok, I would ask you to immediately cease editing the article. Apparently, you represent a PR company managing Devyn Rose. Your account may be blocked. Kindly read up on
COI before thinking of creating another user account on Wikipedia. I'm leaving a note regarding this on your talk page.
