Talk:Candice Pedersen

Created this, could use some help edit

I thought Candice Pedersen was notable, given that Calvin Johnson, K Records and Riot Grrrl all have their own articles, it seemed silly not to give K Records' co-owner an article of her own. She's included in a documentary about K and appears often in oral histories of Riot Grrrl, which I will add as citations in a bit. Additional suggestions welcome.

Also want to point editors to an interview in Angry Women in Rock by Andrea Juno, though it's a primary source. Owlsmcgee (talk) 09:03, 12 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Contested deletion edit

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because (and as already asserted on the Talk page and within the article) she was co-owner of a notable record label, organized the International Pop Underground Convention, and is associated with the formation of the area's riot grrrl scene (which was itself one of two main scenes of the movement). It also cites several sources, including three books and press coverage from local and international press. If you don't think she's notable, nominate it for deletion, but these are pretty obvious claims of significance and it should not qualify for A7 -- Owlsmcgee (talk) 14:59, 12 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
