An apparent
promotion attempt for singer/poet whose work is largely in the form of guest appearances for others, while her own releases have not gained
reliable notice beyond the standard streaming and retail services. The list of "Press Quotes" at the bottom of the article is revealing. For most I cannot find the citations requested by previous editors (e.g. a search at mtv.com brings up neither her nor the quote about her). The quote from BBC is real, but it refers to an appearance on someone else's album

I was the one, who created this article 7 years ago. First of all – I'd like to make you sure that I have never been affiliated with Yarah Bravo. Back to 2005, I was a fan of One Self – a collaboration of
DJ Vadim,
Blurum13 and Yarah Bravo – and their hit Bluebird. That's why, I had decided to create this article when Yarah Bravo released her second album – Love Is The Movement. She was the only member of One Self, who didn't have a personal wiki page and I thought that's unfair. For the press quotes, I took them from
her old official web, but I also did't find the original sources. My guess – those quotes could have appeared at paper magazines or on TV. Back to 2005-2010, the internet wasn't so popular and common. If the quotes are an issue, I would love to ask delete them and leave the article.

I have deleted the press quotes. They weren't what we call "encyclopedic", i.e. a natural part of a the kind of short biography Wikipedia tries to write; I think the article you created is better without them. /

Keep. Not my musical area, so I can't contexutalise the artist or what I've found, but I found enough in the Swedish news archives to convince me that she belongs here. I've added a couple of references to major Swedish media. /

Based on what I've read now, at least Swedish media seems to talk about her and her music in her own right, not just because of appearances elsewhere. /

Comment from Nominator - I don't have to look at Ms. Bravo's article ever again so I won't fight the eventual consensus, but I strongly suggest considering whether the sources recently added (mostly by Julie above) are
reliable and significant. The Swedish interviews might help, but Discogs and MusicBrainz do not. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (

Any particular reason why you'd want to question these sources? The fairly long profile in Sydsvenskan is not just an interview, and Sydsvenskan is the major newspaper in southern Sweden. The TV4 piece – when she was nominated for an award – is shorter, but long enough on its own, and not an interview at all. /

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: To allow for greater scrutiny and discussion on the discovered sources to help reach consensus.

I based my decision on point 5 of
WP:MUSICBIO - Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable). - She has had multiple releases with
NinjaTune accoirding to her page. Ninja Tune I'd consider one of the more important indie labels, with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable. --

But since when did we start deleting articles because the sources are offline? (I've found it through
w:sv:Mediearkivet, but it's from 2002, and as far as I can tell, it's not online in a more easily accessible way.) It's 933 words long part profile, part interview, definitely significant coverage. /
