This is more of a CV, scraped from various brief mentions, than a claim of notability. Mellody has indeed been a backroom staff member of various high profile politicians and, as press spokesperson, has been quoted in a number of articles. But there is no coverage about her that I can see. I'm a bit bewildered to understand why the article was passed from Articles for Creation. Fails WP:GNG. Sionk (talk) 05:32, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment - I don't think it's fair to say she was "backroom" staff; there are many, many news reports in which she is quoted. However, I agree that none of the journalists were interested enough to write about her background in detail. I was keeping this alive in Draft space because it seemed that she might soon have more exposure, either through her work with Hilliary Clinton or through her work with a marijuana promotion organization.  However, since the election neither of these seem likely; the sourcing of the article probably won't improve for some time.  I decided to set it free and let others decide its fate.&mdash;Anne Delong (talk) 04:33, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
