The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Redirect to Venus and the Razorblades. We seem to be reaching a consensus on this outcome, and redirects are cheap. Since this solution was originally my idea, I will do the redirect and a mini-merge, and then will attempt to improve the band's article.

Roni Lee[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:NSINGER and generally WP:NMUSIC. She seems to have written one song that has received coverage "I Wanna Be Where The Boys Are". The sources are 1: a credit for a song that doesn't seem to have charted anywhere, 2: a passing mention, 3: passing mention ("...also on the bill...") 4: an WP:INTERVIEW on a site that says "Want us to post your news and events? Send them to: news (at) theWiMN.com" 5: a bio in a the san diego reader 6: a dead link from an affiliated source 7 and 8: self published books from a personal friend as stated in the source provided "In my 1st book...I chose a personal friend, and Legendary Rocker Roni Lee." in a before search I found a few articles from the San Diego Reader but they are very "local music scene" style articles. i would have suggested redirecting to Venus and the Razorblades but that article is so poor it is a candidate for deletion itself Dom from Paris (talk) 10:55, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Venus and the Razorblades, who are a notable band with sources that could be added to their currently weak article. I may do that once this AfD runs its course. Otherwise, the nominator is correct on how this singer has achieved little independent notability beyond the above short-lived band and for being tangentially associated with The Runaways 40 years ago. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 13:14, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Venus and the Razorblades for now – although I agree with the nominator that the latter article also needs a lot of work, it's probably salvageable with the AllMusic bio and there's likely to be some brief coverage from the 1970s press, given Fowley's stature as a manager and promoter. Barring her 2015 album, all the records in Ms Lee's discography are as part of Venus and the Razorblades, and she doesn't appear to have any individual notability.

Redirect to Venus and the Razorblades, agree with consensus to date, there's just not enough information here to salvage an article on its own, but could prove useful to the other article. Would also support a Merge of the content to the redirect article. - SanAnMan (talk) 16:50, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
