New page review: this article has been collecting tags for months but nobody seems to want to pass it as reviewed. The subject doesn’t seem notable to me but there may be North American sources I can’t access so bringing it here for consensus. Mccapra (talk) 19:17, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I placed the notability tags on the article on 25th June, after going through it and doing a thorough websearch, and watchlisted it for review later. Some sources have been added subsequently by @Thivierr:. In my view, subject still fails WP:COMPOSER and GNG. (I couldn't verify The Hamilton Spectator link, as I don't have access to it, but I doubt the notability concerns would be addressed by this alone) - hako9 (talk) 20:17, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Rename/re-purpose to Toy Piano Composers (I'd say merge, but there's no target yet). Remove all the poorly sourced content, which leaves a one-paragraph stub about TPC, which is notable per GNG. Spectator, like torontoguardian is more about TPC than Pearce. In future, with better sourcing, a stand-alone bio could be spun-out. One or more other names in the TPC could redirect here also. Deleting the content, so that nobody can see it, and nobody can improve or re-purpose it, would be counterproductive.   --Rob (talk) 22:25, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I’ve had a look for sources on the Toy Piano Composers and they don’t seem notable as a group either. I see a bit about them talking about themselves, but that’s about it. Mccapra (talk) 00:41, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep and stubbify. I think [1] this book from Rowman & Littlefield, added to the coverage above and in the article, is enough for GNG. Participants here may be interested in the discussion I just started at RSN about Toronto Guardian, which doesn't look super reliable to me.

The Google books view won’t let me see the text in this source, but whatever it is is clearly sourced to a Q&A with the subject herself, so again, does not help establish notability. Mccapra (talk) 00:41, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. I'm now a weak delete. I see some hits (the article in the Hamilton Spectator listed in the further reading section, for one), but they are thin at best. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 03:26, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Non-notable Right now she appears to be NN, since Toronto Guardian is deemed unreliable at RSN. The R&L book does have a short paragraph on her, but that's not enough on its own. (Also, it describes her as WP:UPANDCOMING—generally a sign of non-notability). Could be merged, redirected, or deleted. Perhaps the company is notable, I did not evaluate that.
