Carrie Nuttall
Carrie Nuttall is a photographer who works primarily in the music industry. Does this alone make her notable and worthy of inclusion on Wikipedia? Does the added fact that she is married to the drummer of the progressive rock band Rush make a difference? Are wives of rock band members who take photographs as a profession inherently notable? If so, why? GRider\talk 20:12, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as a photographer, she's notable enough to have published a book. I don't think being married makes a difference, but lots of photographers are notable by themselves.  Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd  20:41, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep but with reservations. Article needs expansion. Megan1967 23:42, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article should definitely be expanded though. Neil Peart is sufficiently noteworthy that his wife warrants discussing merely by association with him.  He isn't just any "rock band member".  The fact that she's an artist in her own right as well (and a pretty good one too as far as I can tell) is a bonus.
 * Keep going by others' assertions of notability. If it was just by the article, I'd say ideally but non-urgently "merge" with the drummer's article. Kappa 02:19, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * According to Amazon.com, she has only published the one book. It has a respectable but not exceptional sales ranking of 26,036.  A review of the google hits confirms that she is a photographer but gives little indication of her skill or renown (ignoring the fluff pieces by her publisher).  Unless other evidence can be presented of her independent notability, I am inclined to merge and redirect.  Again, if this were a new article, I'd give it the benefit of the doubt.  The fact that it has had no new content since June 2004 argues that there may not be additional content to add.  Rossami (talk) 07:35, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - David Gerard
 * Delete. In the article on Rush, write "Neil Peart is married to Carrie Nuttall, a published photographer".
