This singer is called Liberian, but she appears to live in NYC now. Her [http://www.dawnpadmore.com/Dawn_Padmore_press.htm press page] doesn't list much substantial, and I can't find anything much in google or google news.

  • Keep. Clearly notable with at least one NY Times review (now added to the article) and apparently other newspaper reviews in N America. --Kleinzach 13:29, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

  • Strong Keep "there should be more" is hardly an argument for deletion. Consider reading some arguments to avoid in deletion discussions?--TM 13:39, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
  • Strong KEEP: Some more info and fleshing out of some refs. Could always use more research (still a stub) but NYT piece is convincing, even if not wildly enthusiastic.....Viva-Verdi (talk) 21:04, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep. Meets the notability criteria of WP:MUSICBIO. Wikipeterproject (talk) 22:43, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
