Janet Morassutti

Vanity? The wife of a member of a small indie rock band. 30 hits on google. [1] GRider\^talk 20:21, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Not notable on her own, and the band itself barely seems to be. — Beginning 02:25, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)

Not vanity, as I created this article. Rheostatics are in no sense "barely notable" -- they're one of the most notable Canadian rock bands in existence. (And if you don't buy that, consider that they placed two albums within the top five in Chart magazine's "Best Canadian Albums of All Time" reader poll, behind only Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and Sloan, and ahead of bands like Rush and The Tragically Hip.) I was admittedly ambivalent about doing an article for her, because of her limited notability on her own, but felt that the fact that she has been credited as both a writer and a performer on the band's albums made it likely that someone would encounter her name and search to find out who she is. Merge and redirect to Dave Bidini. I'll even do that myself. But she is enough of a potential search topic that she needs to be noted somewhere, if only in a "who is this obscure person getting credited next to Neil Peart, Barenaked Ladies and Sarah Harmer?" kind of way (cf. Whale Music, The Story of Harmelodia.) Bearcat 23:51, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Keep and do not merge. According to Google she is more notable than Dave Bidini. JamesBurns 06:00, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
