[edit] Diana Lucas

Having trouble meeting WP:V on any of the articles claims to notability. -Nv8200p talk 02:34, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Despite claim to "gold" record status, nothing verifies that allegation (including the RIAA website). If that claim can be verified by a reliable source, I'd be inclined to reconsider. Agent 86 07:17, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - non-notable losing reality TV show contestant, no evidence from WP:RS of any other notability. MER-C 08:06, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete not verifiable. Alex43223 ^{Talk | Contribs | E-mail} 17:54, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep if Improved & Documented with better documentation and writing. I'm seeing the following:

• "Bravo Bravissimo" which appears to be a national and international show/competion in which she won the national competition. This tends to support notability if more can be demonstrated about the prestige/notability of the contest.
• Two recorded albums which may meet Item # 4 of WP Musicians: Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels, if the label is important. Meeting this criteria is an automatic notable
• In 2003, Diana entered the Portuguese Idol competition, where she reached the semi-finals -- not individually notable, but tends to support
• Several songs had substancial success by being featured in several national soap opera(s). This tends to give credibility to the significance of the two recorded albums.
• Even though we are an english language based medium, we should be including notables from other cultures. She is considered notable at Portugese WP: (see [1]). While this article is new here it has been on Portugese WP since July.
• It seems that there is enough on the web to disprove a hoax, but little to support the author's list of accomplishments.

• Delete NN 544 Google hits, fails WP:V. Davidpdx 10:57, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
• While she may appear in our Portuguese sister publication, I fear they've made a mistake. A principal test of notability for a pop artist is a chart hit, or a claim to be a major influence on others in the field. Although she's done well in what appears to be a local radio poll, when I look at the Portuguese article I find no evidence that she's had a hit in a national or European chart, nor does she appear to be particularly influential in her own right. So Delete for now. WMMartin 18:35, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
