Weak Keep There are independent sources to be found. Added one from Billboard. While her record company isn't independent, it atleast verifies she did release records from them. For me, releasing eight albums from a record company would weakly suffice "Has released two or more albums on a major label or on one of the more important indie label".

- Comment The listing at Billboard verifies that this artist exists and has released albums, but nothing else. The labels on which Michell released her albums are neither a major label nor an important indie label. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 11:10, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak delete Seems to be a real borderline case - no sources to speak of, but she's had a respectable 20-year career in a musical field (ambient classical and New Age stuff) that doesn't generally lend itself to major label interest or reliable third party coverage (especially online), and she's racked up collaborations with other borderline-notable artists and composers in much the same boat (long careers and full discographies without a hope of satisfying WP:RS). I'm of the opinion that she may well have satisfied a couple of points of WP:MUSIC (most likely 6 or 7), and just one or two reliable third-party sources asserting her notability would see her safely in, but can they be found, and where one would even start to look? ✤ Fosse 8 ✤ talk 13:55, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
