Keep - Notable artist performing for decades. Plenty of sources. Article created as part of WIR (Women In Red) project to increase visibility of women on wikipedia through biographies and elsewhere. Please give tghe article time to grow instead of rushing to delete. Thanks

Weak Delete - The Women In Red project was meant to develop articles on women who are notable but nobody in Wikipedia ever did so due to the usual
systemic bias or other oversights. Claiming that this noble effort justifies an article on any woman, regardless of her notability, is not particularly convincing. As for Djanan Turan, she has indeed been around for a long time but she has very little
significant and reliable coverage in the music media. The best way to conduct a debate here would be to determine whether the one semi-magazine that has covered her, T-Vine, can be considered a reliable source. Unfortunately, that is still just one publication, and otherwise Turan is only present in reprinted press releases and brief concert announcements. I may change my vote in a positive direction if anyone can deliver any significant coverage in other languages that I may have missed. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (

Delete: fails all criteria on
WP:SINGER, available sources are either artist profiles on bot-run music sites, a few pages on sketchy online tabloids, or her page itself. The "time to grow" argument seems hopeless given there has been zero reporting about a recent release of hers. Not even any previously mentioned sources caught on it. The WIR project had an amazing cause but it does not justify creating articles for every woman whose name is seen online.

Comment: Apparently a
former nomination (albeit mostly lacked participation) deleted the article and it now was just re-created? I'm not an admin so I can't see the former version but this could be a CSD:G4.

Delete per Nom and GN-z11. I looked at the sources, and those available, and "Plenty of sources" is not a valid criteria. Yes, we always want more coverage of women on Wikipedia, but not at the expense of watering down notability requirements concerning
WP:BLP's. A
criteria is:
"reliable,
independent, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy", as well as "Use sources that directly support the material presented in an article and are appropriate to the claims made." That is where just listing "plenty of sources" can end up being
citation overkill. The numerous sources just do not tip the scales of notability. Working with another
individual with questionalble notability is not a factor. Giving the article time to grow would be a good argument but in this case that would include giving notability time to grow which apparently hasn't happened in "Decades". --
