This article does fail WP:GNG and WP:NSINGER. Couldn’t find as much reliable coverage as possible. Only in online books that credit her and her sister Julia as background vocalists on an album. Discogs has all the credits, but still not best suited for the article. There are no record chart records of her either. TheGreatestLuvofAll (talk) 22:26, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

- Comment: I've found a few sources about Maxine and/or her musical group The Waters. Another option would be deleting all the individual pages for the members of the group and making a single page for The Waters.

- Keep. I see a WP:GNG pass based on WP:SIGCOV in the Washington Post piece raised above and the documentary 20 Feet from Stardom. However, I agree with Rainsage that it might be better to create a single page for the Waters. That's a decision that can be made editorially, though, since the sources support a "keep" here.

- Keep as per the multiple reliable sources coverage identified in this discussion such as The Washington Post, Pop Matters, a documentary film and others so that WP:GNG is passed. I would support the article being based on both Water sisters as proposed earlier, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:11, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
