Not notable independent of Crime Mob, failing WP:MUSIC. (see talk) Mdsummermsw (talk) 12:51, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Crime Mob. Not independently notable per WP:MUSIC. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 13:11, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge per TPH. The circumstances of her departure from the group have been heavily blogged about, but she doesn't meet WP:MUSIC on her own, and I can't find her being substanially mentioned in reliable sources sufficiently to get her to meet the general notability guideline. The best one out there is the allhiphop.com reference that is currently in the article, and its just an interview. Xymmax  So let it be written   So let it be done  15:33, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - if all she had ever done was to be a member of the band, then a merge is appropriate. But she has actually released a mixtape, her departure from the band has been notable, and she is know recognised as an independent artist.  Whilst she is yet to do anything yet as an independent artist, she has had enough publicity to just barely warrant an article.  Reassess later to see if the attention she is getting turns into sales.

 * Comment - She is non-notable because, she has "yet to do anything yet as an independent artist". Per guidelines, "Members of notable bands are not given individual articles unless they have demonstrated notability for activity independent of the band." - Mdsummermsw (talk) 20:29, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge per TPH, for reasons already given.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 08:37, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - has had a solo career --T-rex 23:16, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
