The result was   keep. An overblown discussion at times, but consensus is that she's notable, particularly for her work with the band Rasputina.-- Kubigula (talk) 04:52, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

non notable musician with questionably notable albums, would require serious work to meet wp:n and i don't think the sources are out there Myheartinchile (talk) 00:15, 12 July 2008 (UTC) question are producers of multiple notable albums notable?Myheartinchile (talk) 21:20, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep if sourced. I count two albums on Columbia Records which is without a doubt a notable label. (P.S. If you were going to nominate the artist for deletion, why not the albums too?) Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 02:29, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak delete Several production credits that I see, but few to no reliable sources (blank Allmusic entry, for one). I didn't realize that the albums listed were ones that she produced, not ones that she recorded. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 02:35, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Strong keep Are you serious? Let's put aside for a minute the fact that she was a live member of Nirvana and Belle and Sebastian; let's forget that the band she founded, Rasputina, are notable beyond doubt in their own right; and let's ignore the fact that notability for band members is inherited. A five-second Google News search for the subject of this article yields no fewer than 117 mentions. Now who wants to bet that at least one of those has non-trivial coverage of our subject? I do. The nominator clearly did not bother to research whether there was coverage of the topic in sources, nor read our notability guidelines for music. No stars.  Skomorokh  10:26, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Obvious keep I do not know what article the nominator and Ten Pound Hammers have been looking at but it does not appear to be the same one that I'm looking at. This article is not about a producer. It is about a member of a well-known group who has demonstrated some notability outside of that group by recording a solo album, appearing in a short film and performing with Nirvana. Contrary to what was asserted above, all the albums listed include the subject as a performer. --Bardin (talk) 11:38, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * comment-NOT i repeat NOT a member of Nirvana, she was a backround musician hired by them on a short term basis. She doesn't get royalties, didn't get awards, doesn't appear as a band member on the bands website. So that is just plain false. Please be my guest though and add in any information into the article to make it notable as you claim it is. But if its not worth you time its not worth saving this lackluster entry, and even at that she is not of note.MY♥IN chile 07:18, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Did I said she was a member of Nirvana? --Bardin (talk) 07:29, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I believe someone stated that, yes.MY♥IN chile 02:57, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * It wasn't me. --Bardin (talk) 14:59, 17 July 2008 (UTC)


 * More than enough Some of the pages on wikipedia have less than two lines of information with no links or anything. There is plenty of information here on Melora and she's the lead singer of a very well known band. Anyone who knows Rasputina, knows Merlora Creager. She is a more than notable artist with an easily recognised voice and style. When someone comes looking for information on her they should be able to find it on Wikipedia and as I previously mentioned, there is plenty of information on her here. I don't even know why this page is up for deletion, there's enough info, she's well known, she's a solo artist as well as the founding member of Rasputina. Why is this even being discussed, I'm in Australia and me and a number of my friends have heard of her, she must be somewhat well known now musn't she? She's seen in music videos and you can get posters of her in magazines, she's well known, deal with it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.87.72.142 (talk) 06:57, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep but improve Melora Creager is absolutely an "important enough" (if we must use those words) person to merit the article, but it really needs cleanup. It reads like a "good effort" grade seven essay on a musician of your choice. There are plenty of references available; the Rasputina web site is an obvious one. There are also great interviews in print and on YouTube, etc., and Creager really does talk about anything so a lot of what's already there could be cited. I'm trying but aside from adding text or correcting spelling mistakes, I don't actually know HOW to do this. Working on it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.68.205.231 (talk) 20:32, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
