This subject is not the actual topic of substantial coverage in multiple reliable sources (WP:GNG). She does receive passing mention by third party sources actually covering Mediæval Bæbes. She also falls very far short of WP:MUSICBIO — her writing and other band memberships are decidedly insignificant. She receives more coverage (still not substantial though) when less reliable sources are considered. I'll note being the subject of a painting is not, itself, coverage; and family relations don't help her WP:INHERIT notability. Also, much coverage is actually regarding upcoming band performances and events; this coverage ahead of time isn't even good to state the event occurred. Perhaps a redirect to Mediæval Bæbes might be in order, but most members of that ensemble (there have been many) are not redirects. JFHJr (㊟) 01:00, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Mediæval Bæbes. If she was a full-time member of DragonForce she might get notability for being in 2 notable bands, but currently doesn't seem to meet any of WP:MUSICBIO. --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:02, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I fail to see how self-publishing a novel adds to notability either, or why this is even mentioned in the article. Singing backing vocals on DragonForce does not seem much of an achievement either! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.7.94.218 (talk) 16:29, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Mediæval Bæbes. I did try and rescue this article a while ago, but there really isn't much going for it!Theroadislong (talk) 22:45, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
