Notability not shown, indicated, no reliable sources. Speedy delete? BoraVoro (talk) 10:52, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I've added sources and references i think he is definitely notable enough having 5 songs with 1,000,000+ streams on Spotify and 2 with 5,000,000+. FFelxii (talk) 11:48, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Can you explain to me which part of WP:RSPYT you don't understand? TarnishedPathtalk 13:30, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have seen many other articles do similar things where they link the YouTube page for the song on artists so I thought i was allowed. For example the Andy Bull page uses YouTube videos as references in the same way sorry for any misunderstanding. FFelxii (talk) 13:41, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Have a read of the link. YouTube sources can be used, but not in the way you did. If Fergus's notability is going to be established then it needs to be done with secondary sources. TarnishedPathtalk 13:51, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep (weak). The external links added to the article are all a bit problematic in one way or another. Some are lacking in depth, some are interviews (not ideal as a source), some are not quite independent of the subject and the one I'd bet on [1] is unfortunately paywalled. However, we do have the title "Armidale boy Fergus James to support Ed Sheeran on Australian tour " and the date (2018) which show that James has been on the radar for quite some time. (Also, opening for Ed Sheeran is a big deal). I also found this which provides somewhat significant coverage. This and this lack depth but it's still coverage. This is a more recent interview. All in all, I think we have (though barely) enough to pass WP:GNG. Pichpich (talk) 18:56, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
