Marissa Marchant

Article ranges from untrue to unverifiable. Supposedly a musician. Also supposedly "more notorious as an Internet phenomenon than as a musician". Let's put it this way, a mere 932 Google hits, inflated by Wikipedia mirrors and postings on a message board that is itself barely notable at best (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/I Love Music), does not qualify as an Internet phenomenon by any stretch of the imagination. She shouldn't have an article as an Internet phenomenon, is there any reason she should have one as a musician? The top external link, her "attack" on Norah Jones, does not refer to even so much as a review she wrote, but a sentence she put in the comments section of someone else's review. Many of the links, including anything SF Weekly may have written about her, do not work. --Michael Snow 23:15, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. An Internet phenomenon with less than 1000 Google hits and little verifiable material doesn't meet WP:WEB see [1]. She certainly doesn't meet our music notability guidelines. Capitalistroadster 23:30, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete vanity for a nobody who's main claim to fame seems to be that she has made a career out of attacking other (succesful) artists. Note that most of the links cited don't work. Camillus (talk) 00:44, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I can't find a single shred of notability. Insulting someone on a BBC webforum doesn't count. Adrian~enwiki (talk) 05:18, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete There is no way of verifying the sources anymore, as the subject of the article has decided to change her name and is threatening anyone who uses her "old" name with a lawsuit. See this thread by the Artist formerly known as Marissa Marchant on another discussion board. She's managed to get almost all of the source references to her name and activities off of the web this way, and without these sources, the article becomes unverifiable. Without her salespitch to sell her CDs for $1000 each and the reactions by other artists, there is nothing left to discuss, as her music very clearly fails [the music notability guidelines]. Although I voted to save her article the first time, this time I vote delete. Musikfabrik 10:04, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, self-releasing things and trying to sell them for thousands of dollars isn't notable. - Bobet 13:27, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Because it's what she wants. Even though the text of the article is quite true. Here's the link to the SF Weekly article, btw - http://www.sfweekly.com/Issues/2005-12-21/music/music.html --Lyin Dan
