Brief history: this article was speedy deleted under criterion A7, with claims that the subject is not notable because of WP:BLP1E. The article was then put on deletion review twice. The first time it remained deleted, but the second time recreation was allowed.

I'm nominating this article for deletion again because Rebecca Black is not notable when considered independently from her event [her music video]. The primary arguments for keeping the article are
WP:MUSIC and the terms in
WP:BLP1E that say the person involved with the event is notable if their part in the event was significant enough. While this is a reasonable argument considering she did sing the song and she has received quite a bit of news coverage, I believe there is a degree of separation between her and the video. Many of the articles covering Rebecca Black more often are focused on her video than just her. Though it is possible she may continue to release more songs and become notable in the future, we cannot predict what she will do andat the current point in time the video is what's notable, not her. —

*Keep or redirect to
Friday (Rebecca Black song). But in no way should it be deleted. Concerns of BLP1E are valid, but considering the amount of coverage she's had due to the avalanche of negativity, she passes the
general notability guideline. If BLP1E trumps the GNG, then that's fine with me, but it should (very very obviously) be left as a redirect. Or the song should redirect here. Or both to an 'incident' article. But there should be something on the page. Ergo, no delete.

"The love-hate fascination with Rebecca Black—the Ark Music Factory-pressed PlayDoh pop star [emphasis added] whose song “Friday” forces listeners to consider the ceaseless onward plodding of the days in more ways than one—is most likely making her wealthy, so there. Forbes, America’s foremost chroniclers of how much more money people make than you, estimates that Black’s 30 million-and-growing hits on her viral video has earned her some $20,000, thanks to revenue earned from the YouTube Partner Agreement...But that’s not all: Black’s viral fame—which extends to satirical covers by death metal bands, faux-Bob Dylans, and even Conan O’Brien—has resulted in several hundred thousand downloads of the song on iTunes directly into people’s ironic playlists, with Black earning $.70 for every single one." O'Neal, Sean (March 22, 2011), Your hatred of 'Friday' is making Rebecca Black rich, The A.V. Club, retrieved March 27, 2011.
See also Hyden, Steven (March 18, 2011), Rebecca Black speaks!, The A.V. Club, retrieved March 27, 2011. "[The] much-discussed singer [emphasis added] and calendar enthusiast Rebecca Black finally granted her first interview Thursday to The Daily Beast...Rebecca Black’s media tour continued this morning on Good Morning America, which picked up on the cyberbullying storyline." Note also that the article is not titled "'Friday' singer speaks."
Again, there is absolutely no basis for defining "event" to include the creation and distribution of a single notable work. And there is no policy-based (or other) reason for applying BLP1E to "protect" the privacy anyone who 1) purposefully distributed something to the public, and 2) purposefully engaged with national media on an ongoing basis. postdlf ( talk) 17:52, 27 March 2011 (UTC) reply
