The range of sourcing and coverage is not significant to warrant this artist having their own page. The key issue is that the page is called Sklyar Grey yet the credits in the songs listed are given to H. Hafferman and there is (unless I'm mistaken) no proof that Hafferman is Grey's birthname. A whole page is not required to say Grey has written a number one song and contributed to several others. I'm but given the current state of the article there are WP:BLP issues too significant to warrant just a discussion. This person is IMO not yet notable. -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 | talk2me 02:38, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Equally, the entry gives credit to 'Skylar Grey' for musical renditions produced by Alex da Kid, and for vocals performed and written by Eminem, and by Dr Dre (with associated ghost writers (N.B. NOT including Skylar Grey).

• Weak delete with no prejudice for recreation. Borderline case, some mentions out there, but they're trivial by WP:RS standards. Article subject is not considered notable by WP:N at the present, but could meet criteria in the future. Until then, delete.--res Laozi speak 03:37, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

• Keep her single with Diddy is climbing up the billboard charts which would seem to mean she satisfies WP:BAND now. Is there really any doubt that she was one of the writers on the Eminem/Rihanna song? That means she's also a Grammy nominee. While it's odd that her PR people haven't done a better job getting information out about her, it seems there's little doubt that she's notable now that the song has charted. --JayHenry (talk) 05:28, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
