Needs evidence of meeting
WP:MUSICBIO: There are hints of notability from what links here, but the article is the kind of self-conscious promo bio that usually indicates someone trying a lot harder on Wikipedia than a notable performer needs to.

Delete per my own nomination: The article, rather than establishing the requirements of
WP:MUSICBIO, is instead an illiterate mess of a promotion, complete with all-caps names and
WP:PUFFERY of various associations with greatness, and wikilinks to the wrong things. Unsurprisingly, this performer had an album coming out when the article was written (2014), and had a first band album coming out exactly when the article was doubled (2017). However, there are some hints that Liv Warfield might be notable: Warfield seems to have received nominations for various urban-music-specific awards (one of 6 nominated for the 2014
Soul Train Music Award for Best New Artist, 5 nominated for
BET Awards 2014 Centric Award, 5 nominated for the 2015
NAACP Image Award for Outstanding New Artist). She was the musical guest on an episode of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. So if someone can find
significant reliable, independent coverage (i.e. not placed by labels/managers/promoters), good for them. But other than the Wikipedia links, I'm not even going to bother searching this time, because this is yet another of those
WP:COI "contributions" that
Kobalt Music Group seems to have inflicted on Wikipedia from time to time. For the record:

delete I don't see significant independent coverage to meet the GNG or anything that shows she meets
WP:MUSICBIO. The closest thing to notability I see is a connection to Nancy Wilson and an attempt to be linked with Prince, but notability is not inherited.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Needs assesment of the sources Michig posted.

Keep There is plenty of coverage, as found by
Michig, including some that are individually significant coverage and all of which adds up to SIGCOV. She definitely meets
WP:GNG. The article could be edited for encyclopaedic tone and to remove unnecessary detail, but that is a matter of improvement, not a reason for deletion.

Keep. I've done some expansion and cleanup and note that not only did she tour with Prince for 5 years, she's also interviewed jointly with Nancy Wilson about the new band, and is opening for
Bob Seger on select tour dates.
