Pretty certain that this artist is not noteworthy enough to warrant an article. I could be wrong, but I do not believe they have any truly noteworthy work. SecretName101 (talk) 01:52, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Per WP:NMUSIC. Has had a peaking song on the national main music chart. Has participated in a nationally syndicated TV singing competition and placed high. Also per WP:GNG. Per good sourcing as well.BabbaQ (talk) 09:55, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

BabbaQ, I disagree that she has had a song placed on the national main music chart – the publicly-released official UK Singles Chart only has 100 places. Nos. 101 to 200 are not available to the general public, either at the Official Chart Company's website or in the trade magazine Music Week... the only way to find these positions is to be a music industry insider and subscribe to UK Charts Plus. But as these are not publicly-released positions, I don't believe they meet the criteria of the main singles chart. I don't think one single at no. 149 is a particularly strong claim to notability anyway (perhaps only in the sense that she got so much coverage for how badly it performed), and I would concentrate on other sources to satisfy WP:GNG.

I only follow the guidelines.BabbaQ (talk) 13:40, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I try to take as little interest as possible in this sort of thing, but I note the article's sources include the Daily Mail (one of *those* "how dare people with a certain level of education not listen to Elgar or at least Queen" pieces, as well) and the Sun twice over, so not the best sourcing to say the least.

Weak Keep - Whilst the article isn't very well written, Honey G has received quite large coverage in the media and finished high in a highly watched television series. Foxnpichu (talk) 09:28, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Whilst she is not notable as a musician, she is notable as a well known public figure/reality tv participant in the UK due to her time on The X Factor. There are certainly other 'celebrities' from other reality television shows with pages that are less notable than this person.FilthyDon (talk) 17:28, 16 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as notable tv contestant from a national/international television series. Even I have heard of her. An ambitious editor can make hey out of this thing and rehabilitate the sourcing. Lubbad85 (☎) 19:43, 16 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
