• Page has been there since 2006. The only reference link is dead. Has a daily average page hit of 4 on wiki. During 2006, nothing was archived and an average page life was 30 days. Hence would not be possible to judge by online references. YouTube hits are not impressive, having said, would not be right to dismiss altogether. Tabletop123 ( talk) 23:38, 3 April 2018 (UTC) reply
• Delete. While I was able to find marginally improved coverage about her on a ProQuest search (although I had to work really hard to suss her out of the vastly greater coverage of country singer turned master of flip Kortney Kayle, who is not the same person), I wasn't able to find any coverage beyond suburban pennysavers in Coquitlam and Maple Ridge — but local community weeklies in a musician's own hometown and the very next city over from it aren't enough to get her over WP:GNG all by themselves if they're the strongest sources on offer. And while the chart position does verify if you go back to the RPM archives to recover the real link, in the 1990s there were so few "adult contemporary" radio stations in Canada that were actually playing current music, instead of still sticking to undead 1970s soft rock, that an artist could easily hit the high middle of the AC charts just by getting played hard enough in one metropolitan radio market even if she literally had no airplay whatsoever anywhere else. So even that chart position doesn't prove in and of itself that she ever got a lick of airplay outside Greater Vancouver — if she had, then she would also have coverage beyond the outer suburbs of Vancouver, which she doesn't. RPM-AC is a much weaker notability-maker than RPM-Hot100, so it can't be an automatic inclusion freebie that exempts her from actually having to have enough significant media coverage to clear GNG.

• Delete total failure of the GNG let alone notability guidelines for musicians. We are still suffering from the unwise free-for all, wild west atmosphere that lead to unchecked article creation in years like 2006. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 05:27, 7 April 2018 (UTC) reply

• Although this one looks like heading for deletion, we still seem, from looking at the deletion nominations to have been made on my 60th birthday, a much lower standard for keeping articles about people involved with popular music than we have for people in other fields. 86.17.222.157 ( talk) 19:25, 10 April 2018 (UTC) reply

• Delete Almost empty article since 2006. If subject matter was large enough, there would have been expansion over the years, but it appears that she is wildly unknown to the public and coverage on her is very limited; I failed to find media sites reporting on her, and only found a biography paragraph from a website called MapleMusic. aNode (discuss) 16:10, 9 April 2018 (UTC) reply
