No multiple independent reliable sources for a standalone musician BLP. WP:TOOSOON is also valid, maybe in the future. Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 04:38, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete agree with TOO SOON. She is not the sole subject of those published works, they were always in conjunction with SMROOKIES or the group itself. Her performances on those shows was also part of a group. I do not believe she yet deserves a standalone page. Neither was her solo discography notable. It's just too early.Asdklf; (talk) 02:24, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I have not deleted from the article refs to "blog"s. Notability is not considered by the number of refs but their nature and contents. --Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 16:03, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Is the criteria 10's notable piece of media you are referring to her lead in Henry's music video? I'm slightly confused. Asdklf; (talk) 16:22, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Both her lead in Henry's music video and the song collaboration with Henry. SmileBlueJay97 talk 07:02, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I would think neither one are inherently notable as Fantastic's music video itself does not deserve a standalone page and neither does an uncharted B-side. We can go down the independent sources path again, but a lot of those, especially with the few English-language k-pop outfits and the main portal news setup in Korea, are really adapted press releases. Not to mention that many of the pieces you cited were a. not singularly about her, but often about her being in SM Rookies or SM itself, and b. several were only 3 or 4 sentences long, hardly qualifying as non-trivial.

Merge to Red Velvet (band): She's not notable outside of her band, Red Velvet. I also say the same thing for Wendy Son. Tibbydibby (talk) 22:16, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Red Velvet (band). Notability is questionable. Even if notable per WP:N, independence from Red Velvet is currently nonexistent. SmileBlueJay97 talk 16:44, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, too soon for a standalone page. -- Joaquin008 ^(talk) 17:04, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Red Velvet (band). Even though this article can't stand alone due to notability issues, it could possibly be a plausible search term. As such, it wouldn't hurt to send the readers to the right place should they be looking for some information, and if notability is eventually established, the history of the article will be preserved.
