No sources indicate notability under WP:MUSICBIO or WP:BASIC. We have a blog post; a couple of interviews in dubious magazines; another interview in a less dubious outlet, but still one that presents no particular claims of notability; and something that attests her participation in the Eurovision selection, something that has never been held to constitute notability by itself (as opposed to actually being selected). In short, there's no credible reason to ascribe notability to this figure. - Biruitorul ^Talk 22:20, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep How is Adevărul a "less dubious" outlet? Keep per multiple coverage, this is sufficient for a non-english singer as the level of coverage is not the same as an english language, even if the sources are "left wing" to label them dubious is unfair. Big interviews in national newspapers is a sign of notability GuzzyG (talk) 20:29, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • GuzzyG, that is literally a true statement: Adevărul is, in fact, less dubious than the other sources cited. Indeed, it's an eminently respectable newspaper. However, no, one interview does not establish notability, especially as there's very little quotable material therein. ("I want to perform Balkan-influenced songs", "I adore extreme sports", "I find it very difficult to fall in love", "My friends say they've never seen a more honest person" - that's the level of the interview, and that sort of material is, as I say, unquotable.)
  • As for "multiple coverage" - where? Where, pray tell, do any other reliable sources cover this subject?
  • Finally, as for "this is sufficient for a non-english singer" - that's special pleading. We are dealing with someone from Moldova and by extension Romania, both of which are highly literate societies with ample press outlets. Given that these seem barely to have bothered covering her, there is no reason we should, either. - Biruitorul ^Talk 14:28, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
