Is this person really noteworthy, i.e. would she still be deemed worthy of a page were she not the daughter of two noted comedians? --Bruiseviolet (talk) 03:37, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, she meets two criteria listed in Wikipedia's guidelines for music notability: she has been the subject of several non-trivial works published by independent sources and has undertaken a national concert tour. Nibblonians (talk) 19:04, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not include links to social networking websites such as MySpace and Facebook. See the guidelines at WP:EL —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.113.95.101 (talk) 13:15, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article already has a (perfectly proper) link to Ella's official website but a MySpace site is not considered by Wikipedia to be an 'official' site. Never mind 'right at the top'; please have the patience to read the whole guidance at WP:EL. The point is made clear where it says that editors should not link ...to social networking sites (such as MySpace and Facebook), chat or discussion forums/groups (such as Yahoo! Groups), Twitter feeds, USENET newsgroups or e-mail lists.
Even if you argue you are within the 'letter of the law' you are not in the spirit - Wikipedia is not an advertising or publicity medium. Besides, the official page you link to has a link to Ella's MySpace so it's not sa if readers can't find her on MySpace. If you persist in reverting the article to include the MySpace link, it will be reported to Admins and reported on the Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard page as well.
I notice, BTW, that of your 160-odd edits, the Edmondson family (Ella, Ade and Jennifer Saunders) figures large and that the article Ella Edmondson was created by you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.114.107.96 (talk) 14:37, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
