Fails all criteria for WP:MUSICBIO. There is a lack of reliable secondary sources except for routine coverage of a music festival, which does not prove notability. None of the sources cited provide much information (most of them aren't even about her and only mention her) except for the primary sources (an interview); basically, the article would have to consist almost entirely of things she says about herself. It seems none of her albums or singles have charted and all of her music seems to be self-produced and released on her own label. Also, the article has a very promotional tone and is highly biased.

Delete Nothing for sourcing we can use, she's never charted. I don't see GNG, might be sourcing in Danish language items. Oaktree b (talk) 22:05, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Oaktree b: Think you are right about Danish language sources. There are lots more reviews and stories over about her in the Danish media, like these two articles in Information.dk: 1, 2, and this article in Berlingske: 3 (You can also search by setting "site:.dk" as a parameter, although of course that restricts the search to URLs ending with ".dk".)

These are just brief reviews and an article that lacks substantive information; I don't think any of these can be considered "significant coverage." If these are the best sources we have, she is not notable.Baronet13 (talk) 21:58, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I actually found one brief review from a reliable publication: [1], but there is very little else out there and the musician can't meet the significant coverage requirement with just some minor reviews. Otherwise the only visibility is in the usual streaming, self-upload, and social media sites. Note that Mortensen has also recorded under the name Phtalo, but a search under that name reveals more of the same. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:47, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
