[1] marks yelps and short trills in high range or anacrusis and short dips in low range.
[2] marks notes of questionable identity that cannot be confirmed to be the singer in question.
[3] marks non-melodic notes that don't have a significant enough pitch to warrant inclusion.
[4] marks notes that possess uncertain pitch or have been pitch-shifted.
[5] marks notes that do not fit the previous criteria but are not of a substantial enough quality to warrant counting towards the singer's range.

[BAZanine]

I might get flak for this, but I would not count that B♭2. It's a fair bit too brief and too far away from her next lowest note to be particularly representative imo.

[kaji]

I'm not sure. It sounds quite on pitch and it's not so brief that you wouldn't spot it. She also has clear spoken notes down to G#2 but not sing-spoken like that one.

[Rodney Blazershorts]

It's more or less a trail-off. Maybe the D3 you could count, but it would be a stretch to call the B♭2 intentional.
