Recreation of an article deleted at AfD in July. This version has lots more references than the previous article but the subject still fails WP:MUSICBIO and GNG. This singer still lacks significant coverage by reliable sources. • Gene93k ( talk) 23:52, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

Alex Young has qualified as per Wiki notability guidelines for musicians as stated per Wikipedia Criteria for musicians and ensemble
Criteria for musicians and ensembles A musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, DJ, musical theatre group, instrumentalist, etc.) may be notable if it meets at least one of the following criteria - Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself.
Reference number 1 on Alex Young from a notable online version of print media Hello Beautiful. Here is a link to the article From “Sesame Street” To Cee Lo’s Opening Act, Meet Songstress Alex Young
Reference number 5 the artist was selected to be recognized as retail giant Walmart's Soundcheck Risers "Next Big Thing" Walmart’s original performance series where they showcase live performances and exclusive behind-the-scenes footage from original in-studio sets all filmed exclusively and broadcast in Walmart stores nationwide. Here is a link to the published video on Walmart's site "Walmart Soundcheck Risers Alex Young".
Reference number 13 the artist was interviewed by American Teen Magazine Seventeen/CosmoGirl the link to the article in this specific reference can be found here "Meet Alex Young". Interesting enough I was also able to find another interview by the popular teen magazine Singer Alex Young talks Fashion, Beauty, and Diamonds! This second web reference should probably be included in the article as well.
Reference number 14 the artist was the featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment One-on-One which broadcasts across national TV network PBS, she was interviewed by Emmy Award-winning television news anchor, and Star-Ledger columnist Steve Adubato. One-on-One with Steve Adubato, is a program that gives insight into today's world through interviews with actors, authors, journalists, CEOs, artists and educational innovators who each share their experiences and accomplishments as stated by WQXR-FM [1]. PBS is the most prominent provider of television programs to public television stations in the United States, distributing series such as Sesame Street which Alex Young was cast in for 2 seasons.
Reference number 23 the artist has become one of the most prominent representatives of style on the New York City scene she filmed a scheduled interview with model and entertainment reporter Louise Roe who was reporting for one of Amazons largest fashion retailers ShopBop [2] while attending Fashions Night Out. Alex Young is considered a socialite and was mentioned in a press release as being in expected in attendance prior to the interview. [3] [4]
A quick search on sites such as Livingly Media's Zimbio.com/StyleBistro.com which covers celebrity and entertainment news or Getty Images and AP in the fashion and celebrity section for print and online publication photos reveals photos of Alex Young on multiple red carpet events such as some of the links I will add for you below. I do think that the article needs a lot of work which I am sure the Wikipedia community will help with, but I do not think that this persons Wikipedia page qualifies for deletion. After all that is why Wikipedia exists as a community to help collaborate on different articles such as this one. Here are the Zimbio red carpet captures of Miss Young:
Alex Young attends the 2009 VH1 Divas cocktail party on September 16, 2009 in New York City.
Alex Young has also had multiple videos in rotation on both a national and international platform through Viacoms media giants MTV & VH-1. I will do the work and add some of those links here so you can see that this artist truly is notable, this is verifiable and all of the sources are certainly reliable, not self published and independent of the artist and her label.

One more thing I would like to add, there are many other article on this artist, way too many to list here but by doing a good faith search on the internet it is not hard to verify this is a person of notability who certainly meets more than one of Wikipedia criteria for inclusion. I should also mention that social media giant Facebook has even recognized her as a person of notability by giving her a verified facebook page which can be seen www.facebook.com/AlexYoungMusic.

Above all else... even if what you said in your last comment by consensus was determined to be true about those 3 entities being commercial promotional sites, that still does not discredit the other 59 references listed. The article lists many references as wikipedia requires a page to cite sources for Wikipedia:Verifiability "whenever" possible and states they must have been published by a reputable publication which was done. It also says that any unsourced material may be challenged and removed, which you are more than welcome to do as a community member as long is it does not constitute Wikipedia:Vandalism which I couldn't help but noticed you have been accused of and involved in many conflicts. I do not wish to have that experience with you regarding this page. I would also like to ask request Wikipedia:No personal attacks against me as I do not see how it is in anyway positively contributing to the Wikipedia community. No disrespect has been intended in any of my commentary towards you and to answer you previously inflammatory question directed at me, I am very well versed in English and DO understand what the word "significant" means. I would even entertain having a healthy discussion on the term. Thank you. 68.184.234.56 ( talk) 17:35, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
