Overall: I think this is hovering right on the edge of notability per WP:BANDMEMBER. Is there any in-depth coverage of Dianne Lee herself that can be added? The Music Week source is the best one of the bunch but is still not individual coverage of Dianne Lee. After research, notability is not in question IMO.

I provided every source I could find at the time. There'll be a fair amount of coverage of her in Sinderella, and Theatre Record and Plays and Players may be useful, but I can't access them.--Laun chba ller 15:49, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the clarification - I am going to take a look myself right now! Like I said, I think it's right on the edge but notability isn't determined by what's in the article, so if I'm able to find a bit more we should be good to go.

@Launchballer: I think we're good! I bit the bullet and paid for the month-long subscription to Theatre Record - She did receive some positive reviews, and I think there's enough continued coverage, over an extended period of time, from Newspapers.com to push her over the edge.
