| Submission declined on 11 November 2024 by CNMall41 (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. Declined by CNMall41 4 months ago. | |

Comment: I've identified where citations are needed and where existing citations have failed verification.Also, the lead should summarize the rest of the draft, whereas the lead of this draft talks about her songs and philanthropy, which is not detailed in the rest of the draft.

- Comment: There is content that is not supported by reliable sources, mainly the recognition section which is 50 percent of the draft. Many of the references that are used look like a press campaign with headings of "sensational singer" or other promotional tone, some of which is not bylined and uses the same image which makes me leery about considering them reliable and independent.
