Fails WP:MUSICBIO. Clearly fails points 2 through 11. Fails point 12 as her television appearances were purely of a promotional nature. She fails point 1, as while she comes up with literally millions of hits on Google, they are virtually all viral in nature. The coverage on ABC cannot be considered as constituting an independent, reliable source as ABC has been promoting her. Once the viral promotion and downright spam are cut out, there is very little on this artist who has essentially failed to take off. In addition, there is simply very little here. A blurb about GMA and Ark Music Factory and her "discovery." A mention of a failed single release. Fails WP:MUSICBIO. Delete. Safiel (talk) 06:05, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete fails every criterion at WP:MUSICBIO. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 13:25, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Does not meet the criteria of WP:MUSICBIO. "She is known for being picked...in the hopes of launching a brand new recording artist..." is not a notable achievement by itself. - SudoGhost 13:35, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Lexi St. George was picked in a well known show after competing with many others in a trend of increasing influence of social networking artists. Her appearance was in a greatly followed program Good Morning America for a full week and adds to her notability. werldwayd (talk) 16:23, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- What part of WP:MUSICBIO does that fulfill? - SudoGhost 16:26, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep The musician has been the featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across national TV in the US, satisfying criterion 12.- Nonlinear (Nonlinear) 18:35, 30 July 2011 (UTC)— Nonlinearlearning (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
- It was a promotional appearance by the same company promoting her, and was not substantial enough to establish notability by itself. - SudoGhost 17:47, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Good Morning America is not an independent source here; the article states that they specifically contacted this teen record label with the aim of promoting a new singer. In this context, it's inappropriate to treat it differently from any other promotional source. Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 21:16, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete per WP:NOTNEWS. Breaking news can't hold undue weight when viewing a BLP in an encyclopedic context. BusterD (talk) 14:42, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
