This article seems to fail all notability requirements - the claims of notability are all underwhelming (worked on non-notable radio stations; placed at 4th and 57th in two polls conducted by non-notable organisations; released a white-label test-pressing record which charted on a non-notable single store chart; formed a partnership with a non-notable brand) and, critically, I can find nothing in reliable third-party sources about her.

- Delete for now (draft & userfy if needed) as my searches found nothing better. SwisterTwister talk 22:25, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
Underwhelming is a matter of opinion; I didn't see underwhelming in the guidelines.
- Click the "books" tab, she has been written about.
- If HMV is non-notable; why does it have its own Wikipedia page?
- If the 4th place poll position was from a non-notable organisation, why was it mentioned in the guardian? http://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2011/dec/09/10-classic-club-nights
and why did the no1 uk garage DJ collect his award?.
I would like a little more info before you delete, and it gets recreated.

- Delete; fails general notability and WP:MUSIC. Searches for "Lady Duracell" returned almost no results; searches for "Queen of Funk" return results about other people. FoCuS contribs; talk to me! 02:16, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
- Comment: Can't really judge re. notability rules, but there is a definite new-establishment bias to all this, as there is with Wikipedia's coverage of pop and rock music generally. RobinCarmody (talk) 20:52, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
- What do you mean? We look at print sources as well. FoCuS contribs; talk to me! 13:48, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
