:({{Find sources|Ella Spira}})

In addition to being an unsourced BLP, this article is about a composer who does not appear to meet the criteria for inclusion. She has produced some short film scores, and partnered with a member of the Royal Ballet to produce some interesting projects, but nothing rising to the level required by the criteria for inclusion. Google search turns up no indications of significant coverage. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 17:39, 13 September 2012 (UTC) WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 17:39, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

  • Comment I've added a couple of references. I don't think they amount to meeting the Notability criteria but they are a start, and the article has now existed for only 40 mins and the creator or someone else may be able to add more. AllyD (talk) 18:00, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
  • Comment This is the creator of the page here. This is the first time I've created a Wiki page so have probably missed some crucial things in writing this page. If sources are needed I can get probably get them from Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Mark Baldwin, Steve Smart, Sadler's Wells and Ella herself. I'm not entirely clear what it is I need to provide, however, so I would be grateful for any advice.

  • Comment I've added links to the promotional video for the Inala project (and added it to the references section) which includes footage of Ella working with Ladysmith Black Mambazo alongside testimonies about her from Ladysmith Black Mambazo, choreographer Mark Baldwin and Royal Ballet director Dame Monica Mason. I assume this sort of thing will help.User: GD Review —Preceding undated comment added 20:06, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

:*Reply to comments What is needed here is not links to Vimeo/Youtube video uploads or anything from the subject's project collaborators; rather, what is sought here is uninvolved reliable, 3rd party references that confirm notability. AllyD (talk) 21:28, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

  • Weak keep I see the beginnings of proper sourcing here. It might not be complete enough to establish notability, but enough to at least convince me that it might be possible to establish notability, per WP:SOFIXIT. As I often say, I might be wrong. Hope this article gets some TLC. Vcessayist (talk) 23:41, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
