The result was keep. Withdrawing my own nomination

Despite my due diligence, I am struggling to see how this subject passes
WP:GNG nor
WP:NMUSIC.
All the sources I've found are either (1) non-mainstream sources or (2) passing mention mainly of appearances or concerts. I hope folks can prove me wrong, but, I'm struggling to see why this subject merits inclusion in Wikipedia at this time.
Thanks for assuming good faith with this nomination.

Comment There are some sources
here and
here, but I have not looked at them. Subscriptions are required, although the second one gives you a few free looks. On face value some of these look like they might be reasonable references.

Keep, i'd probably lean keeping this as there does seem to be enough coverage of her dating back to the 90s. Much of it trivial, though some seems more significant (such as
this full page from The Age in 1998 and
this clipping where she is referred to as a "well-known Melbourne singer". Bungle(

Bungle - The piece from The Age is good, but, trivial coverage doesn't build towards
WP:GNG. Maybe
WP:BASIC, but, it would have to be a lot and not primary sources (i.e. concert promotions in a local newspaper unless it's a big feature). If you can present more sourcing, I'm all ears (or eyes..)

@
Missvain: I do take your point, but I am seeing what I believe to be sufficient coverage to justify some degree of notability. Some is relatively significant coverage. For instance, something more recent is
this article from a 2008 edition and
this article from a 2009 edition of Albuquerque Journal (
New Mexico's largest newspaper). I don't know if you have a newspapers.com subscription, but I can see enough results on there alone, including the clippings I have taken and the mentions from
Aoziwe above that suggest this person can pass
WP:GNG, or definitely at least
WP:BASIC, as you point out. Bungle(

Bungle - I'm actually embarrassed. I do have subscription at newspapers.com and for some stupid reason I did not even use it when I was reviewing her article. I apologize for you doing the grunt work and my amateur move at nominating this. It's been a week and I've had a head cold, so I'm blaming my cold medicine.
I'm going to withdraw.
