Fails WP:NCORP. The only sources are a few blogs and some reviews of its products. The only "notable" incident pertaining to the company is its failed Kickstarter campaign, which is only sourced to... Kickstarter! G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 15:27, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete pending sources that establish notability. —Swpb^talk 15:56, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, no reliable sources for anything beyond its existence. Fails WP:CORP. No reliable or independent coverage of the Kickstarter thing; the existence of controversy alone does not make something encyclopedic. -- Finlay McWalterᚠTalk 16:39, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as no evidence of notability. –Davey2010 • (talk) 17:11, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wait--the plot is thickening. I just figured out that what I thought were two people with the same name is really one person, our subject. I have no time right now, but see this, from a reliable source. Drmies (talk) 14:20, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Seriously: G S Palmer, Finlay McWalter, Davey 2010, I think we (that is, you) need to look at that article, and at a wide variety of coverage that in the end may add up to notability (at the moment, I'm not sure): [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. And while we should be wary of BLP speculation, there's this.
  Now, I read Guitar Player and Vintage Guitar, and I'd never heard of this boutique manufacturer, but it appears that her stuff is/was used all over the place. In addition, then, there's some personal stuff (I hope you understand why I'm trying to be careful with my words) that may well add to notability, even if one of them is a gossip site. But since Bitch has published on it, I think we can say that the subject is a transwoman, and while it may well be a one-off incident, it has seen some coverage in the blogosphere, [6] and [7] (the latter from Queerty). Thanks, Drmies (talk) 16:36, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: We do have a Category:Guitar effects manufacturing companies and this seems to be one. The magazine Premier Guitar looks to be a reliable source. Devi Ever's personal life has been covered on some blogs but it's not yet obvious that those aspects need to be included in the article. EdJohnston (talk) 16:16, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep While I admit some ignorance in the music arena, there appear to be some reviews in reasonably reliable sources of her effect pedals reaching GNG. I believe [8], Electronic Musician, also has some coverage of the Effector 13. --j⚛e decker ^talk 01:42, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, nice amount of source coverage and discussion. — Cirt (talk) 03:03, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
