The article, whose details largely are not based on the given sources, gives no indication that Sandtorv meets Wikipedia's standards of notability. There's only one reliable source giving some details, a single piece of local news. That's not enough for an encyclopedia article, and a Google News search didn't find anything further. The tone is unduly promotional. Huon (talk) 02:29, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • London Jazz News: "The Jist at Match&Fuse 2015 in Warsaw - If ACRE veered toward abstraction, Norwegian duo The Jist are basically 'sound art'. Natalie Sandtorv (vocals/Roland SP-404SX) is a Game Of Thrones Diamanda Galas with a battle shriek to go, and Torgeir Hovden Standal (guitar) managed to make the whole venue literally rattle with just a guitar going through a volume pedal and a TC Electronics Mojomojo with some crocodile clips. At times they sound like a dying computer picking through the memory of old songs while it's being switched off. Their sound hints at music, and the radically fragmented vocals, all executed live via electronics, hint at oblique cut-up narratives. On record their titles have a running formula: “The Jist of...” My favourites are “The Jist of Being In Between Jobs” and “The Jist of Being Rejected at Watergate”.

• Comment. I think that's what it comes down to -- whether the cites offered by User:Knuand are enough. I'm counting fourteen cites on this page (not counting the duplicate listings). I concede that the AllAboutJazz cite offers an in-depth look at an album by a group to which Sandtorv belongs. The JannInNorge cites are mostly concert listings with short press-release types of descriptions. Unless I missed something, the NRK cite is just a photo of her on stage in a group performance. The Jazz.dk cite is nothing more than a listing of group members. The Jazz in Oslo cite just gives Sandtorv a passing mention of her performance with Beresford. Most of the rest, although not offering anything more substantive, raise an additional issue -- they are about the group Morning Has Occurred, which already has its own article here. The MusicBio guidelines are quite clear in stating that notability is not inherited. And yet, much of what User:Knuand presents to us is intended to imply notability based on Sandtorv's membership in Morning Has Occured. And finally, nothing in these cites gives us any substantial information about tours. At best, some of the sources make passing reference to touring Europe and Asia, but there are no details regarding when, how many shows, what size venues, etc. In all, User:Knuand has not made a compelling case for a stand-alone article. Instead, I suggest that that the page could be turned into a redirect to Morning Has Occurred. What does everyone think about that? NewYorkActuary (talk) 18:05, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I can agree with a redirect. Primefac (talk) 18:45, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• • I think redirect is a poor idea. The AllAboutJazz cite is not merely on a band to wich Sandtorv belongs. It is about the duo album The Jist, where Sandtorv is prime partner together with guitarist Torgeir Hovden Standal. The record had a "small part of the hours of material recorded in two days in Bergen with John Hegre, known as a member in the noise duo Jazkamer (with Lasse Marhaug who contributed his uncompromising approach to the sound of many Va Fongool releases} and guitarist in the metal trio Noxagt. Hegre captured faithfully the raw, intense and brutal sound of The Jist. As on other releases of Va Fongool, the design of the impressive cover was given to young promising artist, Henrik Koppen." When the Jazz I Norge articles is concerned, this is an organ for the Norwegian Jazz Federation "What happens, Natalie Sandtorv?" (my translation). This is a feature article focusing on many of her projects. She states "I just finished a split solo tour together with drummer Ole Mofjell in March. We played four concerts in Krakow and Berlin, in addition to concerts in Norway. Solo project for voice and electronics is something I shall also present among others at this year's Festspillene i Bergen. In addition there is a lot of work with my quartet Morning Has Occurred, which in May will be out on tour with Karl Seglem, organized by the Norwegian Jazz Federation, and the Western Norwegian Jazz Centre. It's going to be incredibly nice! We play a mixture of their own and Seglem's compositions, using both bukkehorn, hand pump organ and water phone." (my translation) - http://jazzinorge.no/intervju/hva-skjer-natalie-sandtorv. The other Jazz I Norge article is concerning the new concert seris in Ålesund, Jugendjazz, initiated 2015 by Natalie Sandtorv. "Jugendjazz wish to present the width which exist in today's jazz music, and this year the emphasis is on melodic jazz, jazzy hip hop, standard and modern indie jazz." (my translation) Sandtorv contributes with the quartet project Rypdal/Sandtorv/Morland/Winther where upcoming star guitarist Jakob Fagerlund Rypdal, son of guitar legend Terje Rypdal, in addition to her solo project Quiet Song - http://www.zitty.de/natalie-sandtorv-quiet-songs-modern-vocal-jazz.html.

  • Note that members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability for activity independent of the band, such as solo releases. Singers and musicians who are only notable for participating in a reality television series may be redirected to an article about the series, until they have demonstrated that they are independently notable. Knuand (talk) 15:29, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect - per NewYorkActuary's analysis. After I voted delete, Knuand listed 5 cites as if they showed notability. The first is about the band, in which she is mentioned, hardly in-depth. Second is even a more inconsequential mention. Third, again about the band, and not even that in-depth about them. Fourth is yet another brief mention. Fifth is an interview, therefore a primary source and invalid to use for notability purposes. Clearly not enough in-depth coverage about this singer to show she has enough notability for her own article. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 14:43, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. Natalie Sandtorv is increasingly present on the music scenes with many projects and a solo album, where do you want to redirect her?
