Based entirely on non-independent sources. Not clear this singer is independently notable of Sweetbox. Fails WP:GNG. 4meter4 (talk) 02:56, 13 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Sweetbox#Jade Villalon with the edit history preserved under the redirect so editors can selectively merge any reliably sourced encyclopedic content to that article. The only reliable source that covered this artist in depth was this article from her youth [1]. I found this article [2] from 2006, but it's unclear why it reports her as a "German pop singer". Otherwise, there was only passing mentions in routine coverage.Katzrockso (talk) 04:20, 13 November 2025 (UTC) Keep per WP:MUSICBIO. The subject is notable because her album Out of the Box (Jade Valerie album) received #28 on the Oricon Albums Chart in her solo career and charted for 6 weeks overall. She seems to have an East Asian fanbase, which is why it was more difficult to find English coverage. This is doubly problematic given that online Japanese news publications often remove their articles after a short period of time, making finding more coverage even more difficult.

I found a few articles in Korean about her collaboration with Kim Dong-wan here [3] and then a later duet with Brian Joo [4] [5].

There was a review of one of her solo albums here in Korean [6]. Katzrockso (talk) 04:25, 13 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I would support a redirect/merge to Sweetbox#Jade Villalon as an WP:ATD. The brief work she has done outside that group could be covered in a couple sentences in that subsection.4meter4 (talk) 14:39, 13 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I am undecided for voting purposes, but will point out that her later solo material (after Sweetbox) was under the name Jade Valerie, which might make a difference when searching. She has two solo albums under that name that have also been nominated for deletion, but nobody seems to have noticed Jade Vilallon discography which will have to be handled if everything in it is declared non-notable. The Jade Villalon section of the Sweetbox article, which has been suggested as a redirect target, is also full of poorly-supported fan trivia. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:25, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment from this link the subject appears to have charted per WP:GOODCHARTS, independently of Sweetbox. So does meet WP:MUSICBIO. ResonantDis_tortion 08:19, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
