Edits have been made to avoid copyright infringement with the listed website.
 * The article is still very similar to the bio on the official website and is very promotional sounding. It would be best if the article were deleted to remove the copyright concerns and rewritten from scratch in an editor's own words rather than copied from the official website or from her agent's website.--RadioFan (talk) 17:56, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Notability
The notability of this person is of concern as well. The references included here are largely just rewording of the official biography which was likely included in a press release. Are there more reliable sources that cover this person?--RadioFan (talk) 17:59, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
 * The username of the original creator of this article indicates that this is an autobiography. The only other significant contributor to this article appears to be a sockpuppet of that user as well.  None of this helps establish notability of this subject.--RadioFan (talk) 02:28, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * The version created by that user was deleted in 2007 and remained deleted until today. The current version was created recently with no apparent connection to the deleted version aside from having the same subject. That identity of subject is also the only indication of sock-puppetry, which i think quite insufficient to draw such a conclusion.
 * I have added several citations to news and other reliable sources that seem to be independent of the subject. DES (talk) 07:45, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for clearing that up, and this person is likely notable as there is significant coverage in reliable sources. However, the article is still far too promotional in tone with phrases like "has been crowned" and "recognized her natural talent".  It probably doesn't need to be rewritten, just tweeked to remove POV as well as any information referenced only from primary sources such as the bio from her agent's website or her personal website.--RadioFan (talk) 17:47, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I have done some tweaking and removed some peacock terms. No doubt further improvement is possible. DES (talk) 18:57, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Note that WP:RS says "Self-published or questionable sources may be used as sources of information about themselves, especially in articles about themselves, without the requirement that they be published experts in the field...". Not every fact need be cited to an independant source so long as the facts are not in dispute, are not primarily promotional, and are not the major source for the articel as a whole. DES (talk) 19:05, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Citing a primary source for information that cannot be coorborated elsewhere (such as biographical info), is fine. If non-primary sources exist, they should be used instead. A quote should especially be attributed to the source itself, rather than the self published reprint of the source.  In particular, an artist's bio has the tendency to glow a little brighter than they should if you know what I mean.  Pegher's bio claims The Pittsburgh Post Gazette has called her "the future of Percussion" however in the 6 articles I'm finding where Pegher is mentioned in a Pittsburgh Post Gazette article, no such quote can be found.  I'm not saying the bio has false information but if it cant be corroborated, it should not be included in the wikipedia article.--RadioFan (talk) 22:47, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Lost Pet
The following was removed from the "Personal" section of the article, by another editor: "Lisa had a cat, 'Sibelius' who was tragically killed by a speeding car. He 'was as important as a child to me,' and she continues to dedicate performances and charity concerts in his name." On its own, such a fact is arguably not encyclopedic, as the removing editor's comment says. But indofar as this affects the presentation of the artits perfomances (the thing for which she is notable) and since it is mentioned in multiple sources, I think it should be restored to the article. DES (talk) 17:04, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * In both sources, the information about the cat is biographical trivia. There is little indication that this impacts her performance.--RadioFan (talk) 17:37, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * If concerts are actully being given "in the name of" the cat, that is public and hence seems worth a mention. DES (talk) 18:58, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Perhaps but the references given dont support that.--RadioFan (talk) 22:39, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
