Regarding notability: although this article could, with much difficulty, be merged into the Espers artcile, I feel like her biographical and discographical information would not belong there and as such would get lost in such a merge. At this point I don't see notability as an issue -- on the contrary, I see the lack of content about this notable person to be the issue. So let's work on fleshing this article out a bit!

Thanks for trying to improve the article with some references; however, the 2 references that do mention Meg are primary sources (i.e. affiliated with Meg). Thus notability has not yet been established. Try to find some reliable third-party sources. In the meantime, I'm re-adding the notability tag, and adding the {{primarysources}} tag. --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 12:14, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Understood; thanks for the feedback. I've added a number of third-party references. I feel like the Allmusic references in particular help to not only add an unaffiliated view but also add credence to her general notability. With Bert Jansch as the most "notable" of other artists mentioned on the page, I think the reference that shows they did in fact tour together is also important. I will continue working on adding more information and sources. At this point I see no reason why notability should be contested. I could reference reviews of her albums by leading media outlets such as Pitchfork etc, but I feel like those would be better left for specific album articles, if they ever come to being. I suppose what I'm trying to get at is that, once again, the notability is there: the content, however, is still thin. I created this article with the aim of getting the ball rolling - it is still very young and hopefully other contribute soon. I don't think this alone is a reason to reject notability.

Major revision

I completed an overhaul of the page today, as the Lead was far too long for an article of this size and the page does not follow other similar pages on Wikipedia. I have also update templates and tags, as much of the content remains unverified. I will try to look at this page over the next week, but thought it best to provide an update for other copyeditors. Thanks,--Soulparadox (talk) 07:39, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
