Semi-advertorialized WP:BLP of a singer, not properly referenced as passing WP:NMUSIC criteria. The strongest attempt at a notability claim here is that she's been a contributor to Grammy-nominated albums -- but NMUSIC #8 requires the subject to have personally been singled out as an award nominee in her own name for her own contributions, and simply having appeared as a guest musician on an album that somebody else got a Grammy nomination for doesn't count.
But nothing else here meets any NMUSIC criteria at all, and the referencing is depending far too heavily on bad primary and/or unreliable sources that aren't support for notability -- Bandcamp, blogs, IMDB, etc. -- while the only reliable sources in the bunch are a couple of hits of in the hyperlocal community media of her own hometown (but just having a couple of hits of "local person does stuff" coverage in her own hometown media isn't enough to get her over the bar all by itself if it's the best sourcing she has), a PopMatters album review that briefly mentions Destani Wolf's name without being about her in any non-trivial sense, and a Pitchfork article that fails to name Destani Wolf at all, serving only as tangential verification of one of the Grammy nominations that she wasn't actually the recipient of.
Again: she can't claim "notable because Grammy", because she wasn't personally named as the recipient of any Grammy nominations in her own name, and was merely a contributor to albums that other people got Grammy nominations for, so nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to pass WP:GNG on much better referencing than this.

Delete - WP:TOOSOON for now. I could only find passing mentions of her in reliable secondary sources, doesn't yet meet WP:MUSICBIO per nomination. Wikishovel (talk) 07:12, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am OK with this designation. I don't know procedure. Are you able to move to draft? Thank you! SeriousMooonlight (talk) 03:07, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. per nom, but also, I don't think there's any reason to draftify this, as I don't see any indication that she's likely to get a lot of coverage in the next six months. -- asilvering (talk) 00:59, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - an accumulation of mentions. This is probably the best we've got, but there ain't a whole lot of analysis and it isn't the great source either.
