[edit] Notable

• Jeanette Lee played an important part in Acme Attractions, one of the birthplaces of punk
• Was part of PiL —Preceding unsigned comment added by Esemono (talk • contribs) 08:45, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
• Co-ran a successful international record label, Rough Trade Records
• Managed and propelled to stardom both the Cranberries and Pulp
• Still runs Rough Trade which signed the Strokes, Arcade Fire and the Libertines

All in all very notable, removing the notable tag -- Esemono (talk) 08:37, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Having had a lot of jobs doesn't make someone notable. Band members are most often covered in band articles, not their own articles, and CEOs and the like of companies are generally covered at the company unless they are eminently personal notable themselves (Bill Gates). Few managers of any kind of their own articles and most of them are the managers of major sports teams, not bands. I would have to say that the Cranberries and Pulp propelled themselves to stardom, since bands are popular for their music, not their management. Being a retail clerk is not "playing an important part". If Rough Trade is still operational, then then article needs improvement to make this clearer, since it seemed to indicate that RT had crashed and burned twice, with Lee and her husband switching careers from running a record label to be being band management agents.

Anyway, I won't fight you on reversion of the notability tag, and I won't AfD this myself, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone else did. It also needs a lot of cleanup to remove longwinded pointless quotations that do not appear to relate in anyway to the material allegedly being sourced by the cited references.
