No longer notable person, keeps adding to her own article, constant vandalism. Drinkaboutit (talk) 03:00, 7 August 2008 (UTC) '''Her page is constantly being vandalized and i believe this to be just another act by those childish people involved ''' —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.206.209.2 (talk) 05:33, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to Operator Please. To quote WP:MUSIC, "Note that members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability for activity independent of the band, such as solo releases."

 * Merge per RayAYang. No individual notability outside of Operator Please.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 03:59, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy redirect to the band she's a member of per WP:MUSIC. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 04:16, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and pay attention, please... nominator states "no longer notable" which implies that the subject was once notable. Notability is not temporary.--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:19, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect: In fact, the individual probably was not independently notable and therefore probably did not require an independent article in the first place.  If her work and works carry out into multiple entities and contexts, then she would be a subject in her own right, but if she was part of a single band and did all her work there, that's pretty much where her information belongs.  This, yes, is true of 90% of the rock biographies on Wikipedia.  From Harry Nillson to Ringo Starr, the people who do music all their lives are independent of their bands, but "played guitar for Switchback" is something that belongs in "Switchback."  Utgard Loki (talk) 18:13, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * If that were true (and I'm not saying it isn't) then the nominator should have been more clear in the nomination.--Paul McDonald (talk) 20:21, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, apologies for not making this clear. If this artist had gone solo, she would have had notability. Now she's just an ex-member of a band. Drinkaboutit (talk) 01:38, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to Operator Please. I love the band, but I don't see any notability for Gardiner. Maybe if she does something notable now that she's out of the band (say if she forms a new group who get a charting song, as an example), we can recreate it, but otherwise there's no notability outside of a band.
