Pulled from db-copyvio deletion queue. 3 problems: 1. I removed a large chunk of copyvio of http://www.mp3.com/artist/joanie-bartels/summary/ (click on "expand"). 2. Although one cassette is said to have sold 2 million copies, the deleted copyvio (check history) also says that she was only credited in "fine print", and that people began to recognize her "later", although nothing specific is said about how she was recognized or how many albums she sold after that, and I don't see other significant assertions of notability 3. The tone before I removed the copyvio could be considered promotional. - Dan Dank55 (push to talk) 18:37, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep: I see there are some reliable sources mentioning her work online, including NYT, Time and Entertainment Weekly. I originally speedied it for copyvio (see edit history), but am now having second thoughts about it now that Dank55 has removed the copy-&-paste. MuffledThud (talk) 19:10, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Appears to be very notable in the children's music genre going by her Allmusic bio, has released at least two albums on BMG[1] and has had an album certified gold by the RIAA[2]. Meets at least criteria #3 and #5 at WP:MUSICBIO. --JD554 (talk) 12:18, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Easily meets WP:MUSIC with a gold record. TheJazzDalek (talk) 14:06, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep appears to meet WP:MUSIC and the other reasons raised seem for clean up. StarM 02:28, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
