Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Music

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Mika1h (talk | contribs) at 13:48, 7 October 2024 (Listing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Robin Hood (album).). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Music. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
  1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Music|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Music. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
Further information
For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Subject does not meet WP:GNG, WP:SINGER, or WP:ACTOR. All the references are either the subjects own website, or self-published sources that are promotional in nature.

The subject of the biography has sufficient relevance to be included in the encyclopedia, especially within the context of the underground synthpop movement in the Northeast, which reinforces the importance of its preservation.

The biography is well-founded, containing sources that support the facts and a structure that provides appropriate backing.

Deleting the article would result in the loss of valuable information about the subject and, consequently, about an important musical movement within the Brazilian underground scene. The article still has significant potential for expansion, deepening the understanding of the cultural and historical impact of the underground synthpop movement and the unique contribution of the subject.

Keeping this article is a way to preserve and disseminate knowledge about an important part of Brazilian music and culture from the north, which deserves recognition and documentation.

Therefore, removing the article would be a setback in documenting this movement, as the encyclopedia plays a crucial role in recording and preserving cultural diversity.

The biography not only contributes to understanding the underground movement but also highlights the subject's relevance within this musical scene. The Artist was recognized by the Museu da Pessoa as one of the most important people, both in activism and art, please do not remove this biography. https://museudapessoa.org/pessoa/rodrigo-barbosa-da-silva/ https://nonbinary.wiki/wiki/Driggu_Florentino Moniiquedecastro (talk) 05:40, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    The Visual Artist is widely recognized in his field, and his reputation has been built organically, without the need for paid promotional campaigns.
    Like other great names in visual arts, he chooses not to appear in the headlines of major portals.
    This decision reflects his commitment to authenticity and artistic integrity, refusing to submit his work to the commercial logic of self-promotion agencies.
    His work is so valuable that it deserves a place in prestigious encyclopedias and catalogs on its own merit.
    The references that accompany his career are more than enough to ensure the preservation and recognition of his legacy, demonstrating that his art transcends marketing and speaks directly to the public.
    It is of utmost importance that Wikipedia accepts this article, as the work of this Visual Artist extends far beyond what we see on major platforms. He has chosen not to pay for promotion, and yet, his work is extremely relevant and deserves to be documented.
    Wikipedia plays a fundamental role in helping to preserve the legacy of artists like him, who are focused on the art itself rather than marketing.
    Therefore, accepting this article ensures that future generations can recognize and appreciate the incredible contribution he has made to the artistic world. Moniiquedecastro (talk) 21:54, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

An unsourced article about a Japanese pop group. Not to disparage Ribbon, but pop groups are a dime a dozen in Japan. No indication that WP:NBAND is satisfied. Yes, their single Little Date was used as the theme song for a single season of Ranma 1/2, but that would not do it on its own. No indications they charted any singles or otherwise satisfy NBAND.

This is one of the best efforts I've seen at a Wikipedia article that passes the "eye test" most of us give articles. Formatted correctly, a bunch of references, looks legit! It was written by an employee (exact name of the Wikipedia article creator listed as employee) which doesn't inherently mean it's unacceptable for Wikipedia, but it is an undisclosed WP:COI and means the article was written as self-promotion. So I looked at the sources and none really checked out.


Source assessment table: prepared by User:Example
Source Independent? Reliable? Significant coverage? Count source toward GNG?
1, 9, 11, 12. NYC Guitar school website No Self-published ? Yes No
2. NY Daily News No No Labelled advertisement No No
3. Gamespot Yes Yes No Source makes no mention of this school No
4, 10. timeout.com ? ? No Schedule/directory listing with prices, promotional in nature, no meaningful coverage No
5. Madscience.org ? ? No 1-sentence passing mention on a business blog No
6. NEA Yes Yes No Coverage is limited to a 2-paragraph quote promoting the school No
7. Guitar Aficionado Yes Yes No Does not mention NYC Guitar School No
8. Guitar Nation Yes ? No NYC Guitar School mentioned in passing as the sponsor of an event No
13. Pursue the Passion No ? No Blog article written by NYC Guitar School employee No
14. Forbes contributor ? No WP:FORBESCON Yes No
This table may not be a final or consensus view; it may summarize developing consensus, or reflect assessments of a single editor. Created using {{source assess table}}.

So yeah. That's every source analyzed, none are independent, non-trivial coverage in a reliable source. So this article does not meet WP:NCORP. Here2rewrite (talk) 20:00, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Articles about albums, not properly referenced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NALBUMS. As usual, Wikipedia's approach to albums used to extend an automatic presumption of notability to any album that was recorded by a notable artist regardless of sourcing or the lack thereof, in the name of completionist directoryism -- but that's long since been deprecated, and an album now has to have a meaningful notability claim (chart success, notable music awards, a significant volume of coverage and analysis about it, etc.) and WP:GNG-worthy sourcing to support it.
But none of these three albums are making any notability claim above and beyond "this is an album that exists", two of the three are completely unreferenced, and the one that does have references doesn't have good ones: it's citing one review in an unreliable source, and one "Billboard chart history" that lists no actual chart positions and is present only to footnote a release date that it doesn't actually support rather than any charting claims.
As always, I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody with much more expertise in Christian music than I've got can find the right kind of sourcing to salvage them, but simply existing isn't "inherently" notable enough to exempt an album from having to pass GNG.

Five articles about albums not shown to pass WP:NALBUM. Back in the day, Wikipedia's approach to album notability was to extend an automatic inclusion freebie to any album recorded by a notable artist, regardless of its sourcing or lack thereof, in the service of completionist directoryism -- but that's long since been kiboshed, and albums are now independently notable only if they can be shown to pass WP:GNG on reliable source coverage about the album. But four of these five articles are completely unreferenced, and one is referenced solely to a single unreliable source directory listing that isn't support for notability.
It also warrants note that these were all briefly redirected to the band a year and a half ago for lack of independent sourcing, but that was reverted within 24 hours with no actual explanation provided of what the problem with redirecting them was, and they've continued to stand as unreferenced articles ever since, without ever having a whit of GNG-worthy sourcing added to any of them.

@TheJoyfulTentmaker That's not a valid argument for a procedural close per WP:PCLOSE. If you think that there is WP:SIGCOV, then by all means provide evidence of it here.

  • Keep Google throws up plenty of sources, over a number of years, showing sustained coverage, but even the first citation in the article itself would have been more or less sufficient, giving evidence of an extended European Tour, satisfying WP:NMUSIC on that alone.

Comment - I looked into the Circle Chart based on DragonFury's comment, but I wasn't able to find the #7 placement in the Album category. However, under the Global k-Pop chart, the track "Bonvoyage" from the the Apocalypse:From Us album reached 179th in the top charts for about a week: [2] I don't think this is quite enough to avoid deletion, however.

WP:BLP of a cookbook author and filmmaker, not reliably sourced as having a strong claim to passing notability criteria for either occupation. As always, people are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to show evidence of WP:GNG-worthy coverage about them in media independent of themselves -- but the only notability claim on offer here is that her work exists, and the article is referenced to one (deadlinked but recoverable) short blurb that isn't enough to get her over GNG all by itself if it's all she's got for GNG-worthy coverage, and one primary source that isn't support for notability at all.
The article, further, has been tagged for needing more sources since 2011 without ever having better sources added, and a WP:BEFORE search came up dry as all I found in ProQuest was the blurb and a small handful of glancing namechecks of her existence in coverage of events.
