This article is about a website purporting to be a newspaper. The article relies on no other sources and its claims are unable to be checked. Pete (talk) 22:42, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as not notable. There's a lack of substantive information about this organisation, and the article is itself vague; it has coverage in other Wikipedias but with a similar lack of references; at most there are links to news stories in more reputable sources that mention it in passing. It's important to be accurate on this because of its links with various euroskeptic groupings in Brussels that include controversial far-right and nationalist organisations like League of Polish Families, National Front for the Salvation of Bulgaria, and Ukip. The article lacks up-to-date references on this subject, or indeed anything else to do with the publication. --Colapeninsula (talk) 09:08, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Not only is it notable, it is one of the principle sources of news on the EU. It is cited in various peer reviewed publications that I use concerning EU affairs as a reliable source. A quick glance through my own University textbooks on the EU reveals multiple references to this online paper. The article does certainly need improvement and better sources, but deleting it because you don't like its association at its founding 17 years ago with a eurosceptic group is a gross abuse of wikipedia's editing policy. EU explained (talk) 18:48, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Re-written entire article to use WP:NPOV and utilising WP:RS. I have deleted all non-attributable information. For its circulation figures, I have written that it "claims" them, as I agree there is a lack of good information out there on this. With regards to it failing WP:GNG, the published sources I have provided, including one academic publication and one English language textbook (used in pretty much any EU politics university reading list) have both described it as one of the primary sources of EU news, together with EurActiv and Politico Europe. Enough. This conversation is a prime example of users failing to take account of WP:Global. EU explained (talk) 03:21, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - whatever claims may be made for this, the claims are only supported by their own web-site. There is not a single independent reference. Fails WP:GNG despite the recent removal of the notability tag from the article. The editing pattern also shows a considerable streak of WP:COI from its two (one ?) main contributor(s) Velella ^{Velella Talk} 21:15, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Now that the article is adequately sourced, my reasons for listing this article for deletion no longer apply. Good to have an editor who knows what he's about improve the article. Thanks, EU explained! --Pete (talk) 06:56, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:BASIC. Seems like a clear issue of systematic bias to even be considering it.--TM 18:48, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User:Namiba. Which part of Basic? Let's look at the sources (at time of writing [1]).

1. Press release

2. Press release

3. Press release

4. Dead press release. Nothing to do with North Carolina Headlines.

5. Press release page with no sign of Morisho

6. Primary

7. Her talking about herself. Blog. "ArtistRack is here to help Artist promote their music."

8. 7 again

9. Press release. Nothing to do with ArtistRack

10. A shop

11. Reproduction of press release. from here "DatSyn is the breakthrough data syndication and content sharing tool that allows you to effortlessly distribute content to numerous social media platforms, news platforms, and other media channels".

12. 7 again

13. "Cause I Can Marketing & Advertising"

14. Press release hosted by PR service.

15. Short, routine, this song exists type press release. "online platform for branding DJs, Music, etc."

16. Press release hosted by PR service.

17. Primary

18. Primary

No help from them. Award? Nope, no sign of any credible awards. So which part of Basic?

"systematic bias"?? What, Wikipedia's well known systematic bias against people from California? Nope. Perhaps Wikipedia's bias against paid advertising from sockpuppet farms. duffbeerforme (talk) 02:56, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Failure to find reliable sources shows that it is not notable and fails WP:NMUSIC. Further to this User:Ppchris is an SPA that has also created You Don't Know (Zaena Morisho album) which should also go to AFD if this continues on the delete route. - Pmedema (talk) 23:06, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Inferno requiem

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Band that does not appear to meet the general notability guideline. ~~All the~~ Some sources appear to be user-generated, and don't demonstrate the notability required under GNG or provide evidence of a pass under WP:NMUSIC. TonyBallioni (talk) 22:44, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep they actually meet WP:BAND 1. as they have multiple published reviews and are described as the "leading metal band in Taiwan". Nominator seems to have done a very sloppy WP:BEFORE B.2.Newimpartial (talk) 22:22, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Newimpartial: are you referring to any of the sources in the article? I checked those and did Google. There are no in-depth reviews from the article, and the largest mention they get is one paragraph in Noisy, which doesn't look to be from a staff writer (not self-published though, so I have updated the nom to reflect that.) Other than that you have a blog (Heavy Metal Tribune). Three show listings (Metal Injection, the Bejinger, and the non-English source), and Encyclopaedia Metallum. The final source is the groups website. I did an additional Google search while doing WP:BEFORE and just repeated the steps there again, and couldn't turn up anything else. I stand by the nomination that it does not meet WP:NMUSIC or WP:GNG currently, but if you have found other sourcing, I'd be willing to look at it. TonyBallioni (talk) 22:47, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

And those are literally from the first page of Google. Sure, they are niche, but they're the biggest in their niche AFAICT. Newimpartial (talk) 22:57, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, none of those appear on Google for me with or without quotes, which is why I didn't see them. Uniteasia appears self-published (look at the about us). I also don't think Maelstromzine or Metal Underground would meet our normal requirements of reliable sourcing in terms of strict editorial control, etc. Anyway, thank you for bringing those here. TonyBallioni (talk) 23:14, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I know Google can get absurdly personal lol. Those sites are WP:RS for the Asian Metal scene; you aren't going to be able to use the New York Times for that. :) Anyway, the band clearly meets WP:BAND 7. as one of the primary examplars of Asian Metal.

Delete -- an unremarkable band. The sources listed above are self-published / blogs or otherwise not suitable for establishing notability. K.e.coffman (talk) 20:21, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I believe that Newimpartial is incorrect about adequate coverage in reliable sources. It seems that most are either directory, not reliable, or not independent. There is also a lack of significant coverage. Multiple sources alone doesn't confer notability. --Bejnar (talk) 03:08, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per the lack of significant coverage in reliable sources.
The only non-user-generated and reputable source I could find was:
1. Henley, Joe (2017-04-17). "Taipei's Extreme Metal Scene Provides an Unlikely Home for Its Misfits". Vice. Archived from the original on 2017-06-12. Retrieved 2017-06-12.
  The article notes:
  
  One band that has always been there in one form or another, lurking in those proverbial shadows, is Inferno Requiem. The band, which is the sole creation of a man going by the name of Fog, plays black metal for the purists, with themes dwelling on the myths, legends, and folklore of this part of the world, putting a misanthropic bent on traditional Taiwanese orchestral arrangements. Make no mistake, though—this band could be dropped headlong into the bleak, snow-covered mountains north of Bergen and not sound out of place. Fog seems to emerge from isolation once every few years or so, putting a band together just long enough to record his songs and play a few shows, before dissolving the lineup yet again, slipping back from whence he came.
If another reliable source can be found, I'd support retention. The Vice article was published two months ago in April 2017 so the band has received recent coverage. It is possible that the band will receive significant coverage from another reliable source in the near future. I would support recreation if that happens.

The result was delete. There's reasonably clear consensus to delete, even after evaluating the sources found by Ammodramus. I see that Draft:Rivigo redirects here, which seems to be a violation of WP:CROSSNAMESPACE, and in anycase, WP:G8 (Pages dependent on a non-existent or deleted page) applies, so I'm going to delete that too.

There were a couple of suggestions to salt this title, but I don't see any consensus there, so I'm not going to do that. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:58, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I never noticed this before, but the nifty javascript automation tools found the redirect and deleted it automatically. Software making my life easier. How about that? -- RoySmith (talk) 00:00, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@DGG: It is true that I have made a few modifications to the draft but that was to incorporate all the suggestions given by the editors. I removed all the content that was deemed as promotional.

Delete Fails WP:CORPDEPTH and GNG. -- HighKing⁺⁺ 20:33, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@HighKing: As per your suggestions, I have edited and tried improving the page. Requesting you to check and provide your feedback. Thank you. --Nirmit Arora (talk) 06:08, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nirmit Arora A topic must reference multiple independent sources to meet the criteria for notability. The sources listed do not meet the criteria. The content of this article at the current time is, for me, a secondary issue. For example:

This firstpost.com article relies on an interview and information provided by the founder and this type of article and format is often referred to as an "advertorial" - that is, an advert posing as an interview/news. It fails WP:ORGIND and is not acceptable to establish notability.
This hindustantimes.com article fails for the same reason.
This business-standard.com article also fails for the same reason.
As does this Bloomberg article
And this americanshipper.com article
This thehindubusinessline.com article is debatable but in my opinion it squeaks by and is acceptable. Be aware that other editors may feel that it fails because it only mentions the company in passing and does not discuss any facts or information in relation to the company or its business.

In summary, there is only one (weak) acceptable source listed. Multiple (two at a minimum) sources are required. This dealstreetasia article might be acceptable - it appears to qualify as a reliable secondary source but I would be more satisfied it another editor confirms this to be the case. If another source can be found, I'll likely be satisfied and will change my !vote to Keep. -- HighKing⁺⁺ 11:15, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@HighKing: Thank you for providing the detailed information regarding the criteria. Much appreciated.

I have added a few references as per the guidelines provided by you. I request you to check if these are satisfactory. --Nirmit Arora (talk) 12:14, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nirmit Arora, please read WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND. Preferably, avoid any sources that contain photos and quotations from the company founders or other company officers, or sources that use any "announcements" as news stories (as they're simply rehashing Press Releases) including articles with phrases like "Rivigo announced" or "The CEO announced", etc. Avoid announcements of funding. Avoid announcements of people being hired or fired. Avoid lists such as "Top 10 companies that will definitely go big" or such stuff. Sources must be "intellectually independent" and sources that wholly rely on information from the company and their officers do not meet the criteria for establishing notability. The new sources you've added all fail for one (or more) reasons as listed above or in WP:CORPDEPTH/WP:ORGIND. Also, always attribute an article to where it was first published. This article might appear "intellectually independent" but it is copied from this article and the author is an employee of Rivigo. -- HighKing⁺⁺ 13:23, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@HighKing: I would like to thank you one again for your patience and your assistance in improving the subject under discussion.

I have removed the previous references and added three new ones which I believe fit the bill. I request you to please check the last three references in the list. --Nirmit Arora (talk) 09:14, 18 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, in my opinion, perhaps the second one of the newest references meet the criteria. The indiatimes.com article doesn't as it is a selection of profiles of "startups" including Rivigo - I regard these as advertorials as each profile is complete with photo-of-founder and with headings like "X Factor" and "Moonshot Year". The livemint article is potentially OK - even though there are quotes from a company officer, the article appears intellectually independent and doesn't appear to be an advertorial and provides information on the usage of FASTags. The Bloombergquint article is only a mention in passing and fails the criteria. So I would say you have two weakish sources (but I'd prefer to wait for feedback from other editors on those sources before !voting Keep. For now, I've withdrawn my Delete !vote). -- HighKing⁺⁺ 10:30, 18 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@HighKing: Thanks a lot for your prompt response, for making me more knowledgeable about how Wikipedia works, and lastly for improving the draft on the subject under discussion. --Nirmit Arora (talk) 10:42, 18 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:SALT, WP:MILL, and WP:SPAM. Bearian (talk) 13:25, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Bearian: WP:SALT - I am unable to understand why this article should be salted when the article has never been recreated. It has moved between the draft space and the main space after incorporation of the suggestions made by the editors.

WP:MILL - Again I fail to understand why the subject under discussion is common or ordinary when there are sources which state otherwise. For example, the pact with the government or the introduction of FASTags.

WP:SPAM - The only reason the I believe this can be considered as spam is due to the consecutive citations at the end of the article. Those were added during my discussion above with user HighKing. I will remove the unnecessary ones from the article. --Nirmit Arora (talk) 10:37, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete despite heroic effort by article creator. The sources are just lacking in terms of breadth and depth to show meeting GNG. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, after all, and the subject is just not encyclopedic. If anything, the content is more promotional than when DGG tagged it. One would think AfC would set higher standards than to loose this upon article space. Nice catch by Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi in sending it back to Draft space back when. Not sure WP:MILL applies-- one need not be "run of the mill" to not meet inclusion requirements for an encyclopedia. Closing admin, nota bene, does not require SALT. Has NOT been multiply recreated.Dlohcierekim (talk) 18:52, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete GNG not met. Exemplo347 (talk) 19:57, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. A Google search turned up this piece in Economic Times, covering Warburg Pincus's investment of $75 million in the company; the authors of the article appear to be regular Economic Times contributors. Warburg Pincus discusses the company on its own website. A short piece in Mint, and similar pieces in other Indian media, briefly discuss Interbrand's inclusion of Rivigo on their 2017 "Breakthrough Brands" list. I think we've got enough attention from wide-circulation Indian media to meet WP:GNG, and enough detail to support a modest article without relying exclusively on company sources and echoes thereof.

- Comment - Are articles from the website YourEDM not considered significant coverage? Also, the article was not merely a "short notice" of Post, since Post makes up half of the group that the entire Bilboard article was discussing, and the purpose of the article was not only to officially reveal KUURO's identities but to premiere their latest release.

  - (YouTube, Soundcloud aren't reliable and Above & Beyond's website might be considered self-published/primary) The newly added sources don't even mention Juventa (except one). The article is about Juventa not KUURO. If it was about KUURO then I guess it could survive deletion. I would recommend renamng the page to KUURO (after the deletion discussion concluded), then maybe add Juventa as an alias. - TheMagnificentist 05:37, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as WP:TOOSOON; possibly a Speedy Delete candidate. No amount of references will save this article.

Strong Keep - actually, directing one notable movie is grounds for notability per WP:CREATIVE, and however bad it may be, "The Great Father" is a notable movie with reviews in the Times of India, The Indian Express, etc. WP:NOTINHERITED has nothing to do with it. Newimpartial (talk) 22:17, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Previous discussion including Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Omar Lulu have reached the consensus that directing one movie, is not enough to satisfy WP:DIRECTOR. Movies getting reviews in notable publication does not imply that the director is notable in his own regard, and therefore WP:NOTINHERITED is applicable. There is anyway no indepth coverage of the person for WP:GNG, and the only thing mentioned in the article apart from the fact that he has directed the said movie is that he was born in Thrissur, which incidentally is unreferenced. At best the article can be redirected to the only movie he has directed as a case of WP:TOOSOON. Jupitus Smart 04:51, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That is a misreading of WP:DIRECTOR, which clearly states (in bullet 3) that one well-known work automatically makes its creator WP:Notable, where secondary literature exists for the work. WP:NOTINHERITED does not apply from a work to its creator, only from creators to their works. As far as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Omar Lulu, that doesn't trump WP:DIRECTOR Newimpartial (talk) 05:05, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well if you believe run of the mill coverage is enough to pass WP:GNG, then I cannot help it. WP:NOTINHERITED applies because all the references mentioned are about the movie, and not about the director. Creator is a relative term and the movie is not the exclusive work of the said person, but of a collective of artists. All the coverage for the movie stems from the fact that the movie had an impressive star cast, and not because the said person directed it, and that is the reason why WP:NOTINHERITED is applicable. A myopic reading of WP:DIRECTOR without looking at the larger perspective of whether the individual himself is independently notable and satisfied WP:GNG, was not done in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Omar Lulu and that is why I mentioned it. Jupitus Smart 06:02, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Are you suggesting that the director has not "created or played a major role in co-creating" the film? Because that is what WP:CREATIVE requires, nothing more, and no personal notability is required outside of the work. Newimpartial (talk) 06:11, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Harping the same point again and again does not add anything to the discussion. At the very beginning of the page where WP:CREATIVE appears,the Basic Criteria for notability, including indepth coverage and the like, are mentioned as compulsory requirements. It is also mentioned that meeting one or more criteria does not guarantee that a subject should be included. I would rather disengage from such a meaningless conversation, if you cannot understand that. Jupitus Smart 06:24, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think you are mistaken about the structure of that page. WP:BASIC notability ensures that the subject is notable (except for certain exclusions). The specific criteria, such as WP:CREATIVE, do not guarantee but allow notability even if WP:BASIC is not met. Newimpartial (talk) 06:43, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am not going to reiterate anything and am disengaging per my word. Have a good day. Jupitus Smart 06:50, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Matt Oppenheim

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This attorney does not appear to meet notability requirements. The closest thing to claims of notability are that he was "part of the team that took the MGM Studios, Inc. v. Grokster, Ltd. case to the Supreme Court" and was involved in Sony BMG Music Entertainment v. Tenenbaum.

A look at the Supreme Court opinion in the Grokster case shows that he was not the lead attorney; the lead attorney was Donald B. Verrilli. Oppenheim was just one of the team of eighteen lawyers who contributed to the brief.

A look at the First Circuit opinion in the Tenenbaum case shows that he wasn't lead counsel in that case, either; that was Paul D. Clement. Again, Oppenheim was one of six lawyers on the brief. The Tenenbaum could be a reference to the district court portion of the case, rather than the appeal, which is much less notable, at least from a legal point of view (generally, district courts don't set precedents, especially where the court's finding is appealed, as here; opinions in appeals do), but if so, that's unsourced and difficult to verify, and in any event doesn't amount to notability anyway. (The text of the article suggests he may have had more involvement at the district court proceeding; but somewhat confusingly, the link is to the article on the appeal rather than to the article on the district court proceeding.)

The article has no references, as such. It does have two external links, though: Copyright Conundrum and [4]. If considered references, these might save this from WP:BLPPROD; but both are dead links. TJRC (talk) 21:41, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no evidence of notability. This appears to be a good example of the risks involved in reaching a consensus that a particular class of articles are inherently notable. Such shorthand policy formulations are generally based on the argument that "anything/ anyone of this type must have been discussed in reliable independent sources that demonstrate notability". In this case the answer is clearly not. Velella ^{Velella Talk} 14:34, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Despite the author's claim that the WSJ articles are sufficient for notability, this entry fails the basic notability standards:

1. If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability.

2. Primary sources may be used to support content in an article, but they do not contribute toward proving the notability of a subject.

Of the citations in the entry, only two were not written by Nelson himself. And in each of those, he is briefly quoted. There is literally no coverage of Nelson as a notable person.

Keep - Contesting the Proposed Deletion:

Please note that I have addressed the concerns by Meatsgain about not having many reliable sources. Initially, the article had only 4 cited source at the time that it was moved into this board (for deletion within 1 week), and as a response I have added 5 new sources including 3 from the truly notable sites beatport.com and anime-expo.org, and this has been done to meet WP:MUSICBIO #1. Note that this artist falls within a specialized market and subculture, and therefore some of the sites offering reviews are also specialized and not well known. The inclusion of the well known music distributor "Beatport" and the anime/cultural exposition organization "Anime-Expo", and offering a total of 9 unbiased references should provide enough evidence about the validity of this artist. Nevertheless, thank you for allowing this improvement. pbigio (talk) 16:24, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, to meet WP:MUSICBIO #5, I have included notable mention of Katfyr's multiple releases with major music labels in the EDM industry including Armada Music, UKF Music, Hypnotic Records, and FiXT_Music. I will continue working on this page during the weekend. — Preceding unsigned comment added by pbigio (talk • contribs) 220:43, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Further additions" - Contesting the Proposed Deletion: Please note that I have added more notability items, including that the artist has made multiple releases, over 18 singles or EPs, via the notable electronic music distribution site Beatport. I have also added information about the artists' nationality, instruments used, and other biographical facts.pbigio (talk) 3:48, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

"Addressing addition of more reliable sources for notability and more attributes of notability": At this point I clarify that for Katfyr notability, as per WP:MUSICBIO, has been addressed by including mention notable work along with reliable sources that have been added (including beatport.com, armadamusic.com, ukf.com, and the website and youtube page for the company PreSonus Studio One. Examples of notable work added include his work with award winning Emma Hewitt and then releasing the associated remixes through Armada Music. The reliable source for this is the links to the Beatport music distribution website. This aspect of notability occurs twice, first with Emma Hewitt's Foolish Boy and then with the song "Rewind." Another example of notable work include the fact that Katfyr was able to reach position number 1 in the Beatport Dubstep Charts in May 2014 with his original song "Lose Control", which meets WP:MUSICBIO #7. For this point, I have also included more reliable sources have been added since the first one was simply a website that tracks Beatport charts, in addition mention has been added to the website for the company that makes PreSonus Studio One which includes many links to videos and other articles which also mention the fact that Katfyr did indeed reach position number 1 on the dubstep charts in Beatport. Another example of notability, which meets WP:MUSICBIO #10 for inclusion in a notable compilation, I have added the work Katfyr did in two music compilations by World-Touring band Celldweller, and released through the well known record label FiXT_Music. Lastly, there has been the addition of a full discography which shows at least 18 different releases that are present on the Beatport.com website. pbigio (talk) 8:48, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

Delete: I am sorry because I have invested interest in this article and done some cleanup editing. I have searched online to find better mainstream sources to no avail. I even located Metal Life Magazine because the only source provided (as for others) for the recent addition of a link with Katfyr to 'Bobbie and Neko Heavygrinder' is a YouTube video. I have updated the source to the interview page in the mazgazine in August 2015, read the print article and listened to the associated youtube video (twice). This resulted in my placing a 'failed verification' tag on the article. Entertaining about the wasp but not even the print article provides a hint about Katfyr or in the almost nine minutes of Youtube. Further Beatport is just an online music store, which of course sells music online. It is in their self-interest to promote anyone they are selling, including naming an artist as in 'position number 1' for their sales. Multiple citations are for Beatport. PreSonus Studio One, our article with its own problems, does not mention Katfyr at all. Lastly, none of the Discography is sourced and I am doing no further investigation. Thanks, Fylbecatulous talk 14:03, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Addressing the few issues raised above by user "Fylbecatuloss": In this case the user is stating that she/he has invested interest in this article but it is unlikely the interest is electronic dance music due to the user's lack of understanding of the high relevance of the Beatport charts, or the validity of Beatport as a reference. Please note that I simply use Beatport as a reference to show a valid link to the record labels, as this proves that it is a fact that the artist complies with notability requirement WP:MUSICBIO #7 and WP:MUSICBIO #10. Furthermore, all record labels listed, to meet requirement WP:MUSICBIO #5 do not have to necessarily be linked to the Beatport website, and I could simply add direct links to the label website. In addition, at this point, the user Fylbecatulos may be simply upset about the first interview that I added to show that Katfyr is now working with Heavygrinder, because the interview was not clear enough. However I have corrected and added a more detailed interview. In either case, this small section which is upsetting this user, can simply be edited out and the user should not have added these points as reasons for deleting the entire article, or shine light on the other sources. At this point, I'm afraid that this user will be creating further bias by going after the other points that I have clearly addressed here. For this reason, I want it to be noted that I consider this user's post on this page to be completely off topic and could have been addressed as a correction to the article. I believe marking the article for deletion was an initially hostile opinion by one user and this is now simply spreading to create negative opinions on other users. I request for this process to be completed now as my points have been raised and I have addressed WP:MUSICBIO #1, #5, #7 and #10 and the only user interested in this article to be deleted has only addressed WP:MUSICBIO #1. Furthermore, in over 4 days no one else has taken the time to validly contest the notability points I have addressed. I consider this process starting to be unfair. I have been a registered user of Wikipedia for over 10 years and the posts I have added have always been improved by other users, rather than contested and put to shame, and this is the experience that I believe was the original idea for users within Wikipedia, to help build a productive community, not to attack other people's efforts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.234.38.98 (talk) 13:01, 8 May 2017 (UTC) Adding signature for the post above: pbigio (talk) 9:20, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment further: Ignoring the bad faith assumptions written about me with grace and peace, I want to make one further comment. A major problem with the section about Neko and the infobox and in the article itself is: the only name used for the artist and the title is "Katfyr'. The article and video I tagged as failed verification certainly names 'Neko' but nowhere do they say this is an alias for Katfyr. Further confusing is the birth name JayJay. So we have all these names and aliases lacking proof that they are indeed one and the same artist. This is one reason reliable sourcing is so important in order for an article to be accepted that is a Biography of a living person. Deciding something is true just because you assure us that it is without WP:Reliable Sources is WP:Original Research. I have a request on my talk page now from a professional writer that can't get his Biographical article published because of the pushback over sources. It is nothing personal. Thanks.

"Addressing the new issues raised above by user "Fylbecatuloss": As expected the conversation here goes on with the initial unfair base and negative connotation, adding additional critics to the article itself as opposed to helping improve the article which is the way Wikipedia was originally designed to be used. Nevertheless, I have decided to delete the section that is being contested by this user along with any references to Heavygrinder as a group.

Comment - Pbigio, let's remain civil here. The problem I see with the page, outside of what Fylbecatulous noted, is that while the page appears to have more than enough references to verify the page's content, most are unreliable. Of the page's 38 references, only 3 are somewhat reliable and detail Katfyr. The rest are either unreliable, blogs, mention the subject in passing, or do not cover the subject at all. The sources that are reliable include:

The 3 sources listed above however, is not enough to establish notability. Meatsgains (talk) 13:05, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Addressing the comment raised by user Meatsgains": Just for the record, user Meatsgains had originally marked the page for speedy deletion and mentioned that the article contained unreliable sources. At that time one of the sources was in fact soundista.com and the user is now mentioning this as a reliable source, thus further proving either lack of true interest or knowledge of the subject at hand. Furthermore, the user is claiming that only 3 of the references in this article are reliable, when I have addressed the reliability issue multiple times on this deletion board, including mentioning that Beatport, along with any Record Label website listed on my references are indeed reliable and show proof of the work. These sources are reliable and show that the artist has released records in highly notable record labels, multiple times, and collaborated with artists such as Emma Hewitt, Celldweller and Klaypex. I must reassure you, that I have gone beyond what's typically required from the Wikipedia community of users, and addressed multiple notability items as per WP:MUSICBIO.Pbigio (talk) 13:14, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You want to get into details, I can get into details too. First, when I originally tagged the page for speedy deletion, there was one reliable source, ONE. Did you read what the speedy delete tag said? You're a new editor so my guess is no. A7 notes, "an article about a band, singer, musician, or musical ensemble that does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject."(bold emphasis by me) The subject lacks significant coverage in reliable sources. And second, Beatport does not cover the subject what so ever. All Beatport can be used for is playing Katfy's music. I suggest you read through WP:RS before trying to "teach" me what is and is not reliable. Meatsgains (talk) 14:54, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I also agree with the Keep decision by user Power~enwiki and adds an additional notability point. I must also mention it is easy for some users to focus too much on why they want to delete the article without really digging in or having the required understanding of the subject as pertaining to sub-culture music. In over a week of discussion the comments added for deletion fail to directly address the multiple points added for notability, and at the same time show lack of understanding of the sources added or why those were added for reference. The best example is the way the website Beatport is mentioned and disregarded as "unreliable". Statement such as “All Beatport can be used for is playing music,” further proves my point. I will make no further clarifications of what Beatport is, or how it is reliable and relevant in this case, because I have been clear enough in my explanations above and now the burden of proof falls on anyone arguing against the use of Beatport as directly used to sustain one of my multiple points addressing WP:MUSICBIO. In summary, multiple notability points, in addition to the one addressed by the addition of Beatport links, have been addressed by me and also by Power~enwiki already. In summary, the article is now much improved version from the original, and the comments added on this board give detail on how the respective notability point were addressed by following advice of other Wikipedia users who also helped improve the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pbigio (talk • contribs) 13:08, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The guidelines for Articles for Deletion make it clear that people arguing for deletion should also should make solid points. So far, in over 2 weeks we are getting no solid points against multiple points made for WP:BIO (Keep). It is likely that no one can truly make a true solid argument as to why this article must be deleted, or if so, at least they are totally failing to make the point on this board. Furthermore, the latest user are simply making blanket statements and in one case showing clear bias against what they consider "DJs".

Delete. Lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. Zero albums on any labels. A weekly genre chart does not equal most prominent representatives and we don't even have a weekly chart, beatport charts aren't like that. Nothing in WP:MUSIC is satisfied. duffbeerforme (talk) 11:57, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Once again, another delete post is made making claim against this article for the 3rd week now without reading my previous posts. The user appears to state that that work performed with Klayton, Celldweller, and multiple releases through FiXT_Music, Armada Music and UKF are not notable. And then the user proceeds to vaguely repeat arguments already made other users and addressed by me in high detail 3 weeks ago. Yet again, it must be clarified that Katfyr is a sub-genre artist and the users here are simply holding him to the standards of mainstream music (full albums), not even mainstream EDM where it is common for artists to release notable work without having to release full albums (as it was in the late 90's).Pbigio (talk) 14:02, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sub-genre artist are held to the same standards as mainstream artists. duffbeerforme (talk) 03:30, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The standards you are personally setting here perhaps, because you are refering to albums where this artist fulfills notability by recordings, which include singles as it is common for artists in the Dubstep and other EDM sub-genres. In your statement basically you are discounting his work based on your experience of what is considered notable for mainstream music, but WP:MUSICBIO allows for recordings and singles to be counted.

delete per delete rationales above, thanks to @Fylbecatulous: and others for doing the heavy lifting.Dlohcierekim (talk) 18:18, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment To address the last comment, I must repeat there has been no heavy lifting as I have addressed WP:MUSICBIO 1, 5, 7 and 10 and users are basically commenting without going deep into the discussion. Furthermore, the issue described by Fylbecatulous was addressed. Please make sure to read the responses before adding a comment here as if this was a voting contest.

Comment on last comment: Pbigio Regarding the resolved issue, I cannot discern how that is so: I still have three inline issue tags on the article in the last paragraph you amended. Your resolution just makes the problem worse and in any other article, that entire paragraph would be deleted as questionable speculation and unsupported conclusions. (The sources do not support it and your comments in that paragraph actually agree with that.) I have left it because it helps demonstrate the weakness of the foundation of this article.

Strong Delete This should have gone through CSD, this reads like a really bad resume. Wikipedia isn't a web hosting service. South Nashua (talk) 19:30, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I did think long and hard about CSD, but the article does make a "credible assertion of notability" with its (unsourced) mentions of film roles and modelling for well-known companies. Since there's nothing about these online, I can only guess that they were minor acting and modelling roles, probably uncredited. And you do have to wade through eight feet of treacle to find those small claims to notability. Uncle Roy (talk) 19:35, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep His roles are indeed small uncredited roles (acting as well as modeling), however the roles are legitimate and verifiable through the referenced channel on Twitch in the past broadcasts. Also, the article has more than just his interests and the talent agency signing, it also details his successful entertainment career online, which I believe is noteworthy enough by itself for an article.

The references don't mention the individual and Twitch is not a reliable source. Quick question: are you Tip Donaldson? DARTHBOTTO_talk•cont 21:23, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The individual is of course mentioned in the references (and quite obviously in the content he created himself). May I ask why Twitch is not a reliable source of information on the subject when it is of course related to the content on the site itself? I believe the argument in favor of his successful career still stands. Also please refrain from any accusations of vanity.StevieWondersEyes (talk) 22:08, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it's very common on Wikipedia to check into a potential conflict of interest and/or autobiography, so you're going to have to get used to getting checked for that. For sourcing, you need reliable, 3rd party articles and not Wikia pages, YouTube videos and Twitch videos- utilize articles written about the individual. You should probably read this. DARTHBOTTO_talk•cont 22:19, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, and I understand why you may think that. However, when debating in an article for deletion, simply accusing one of vanity [to be avoided] as it is not valid reason for deletion. As for sources, the references are the best sources to be found when talking about that very subject. For example when talking about the success of his twitch, of course the best source will be the twitch page itself, etc. and of course any video should be referenced itself as the source and obviously more reliable than any articles written.StevieWondersEyes (talk) 23:17, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your rationale and I recognize that you have the grasp to be a compatible and reasonable contributor. However, COI is serious and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest explains in full detail why those associated with the subjects should be avoided-- I say this as a person who has to bar himself from editing pages about actors I know. So, I must ask, do you have a relation to Tip Donaldson to declare? DARTHBOTTO_talk•cont 23:52, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete was tagged for BLPProD, but was sourced to subject's web page, so deProDed. Honestly, we need to tweak BLPProD better, or use ProD more appropraitely. Highly ProDable. Which is to say, probably subject exists as has webpage. Just does not meet the GNG.

Delete: This article was nominated in the last week or so. The previous nomination was withdrawn by the nominator after a short time. I subsequently examined the article and saw that the sources do not meet the criteria for notability among other problems. I tagged the article (notability being one) but one editor disagreed and removed the tags. After some discussion (on the article Talk page) the editor put some tags back but has not added any additional sources and believes the last AfD passed with WP:SNOW and that the topic is therefore notable. Nevertheless it was agreed to put it back in AfD.

The existing sources in the article are either Press Releases or Primary sources from the Utex website. Despite this being the 2nd AfD in a short period of time, interested editors have not provided any sources that meet the criteria for notability.

Hi Jenova20, you are correct that a source must be reliable, but you don't appear to be critically analysing the articles published by the sources with an eye on WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND. Being a reliable source isn't enough, on its own, to establish notability. Here are my comments on the sources you've mentioned above.

Yes, a passing mention. Fails point 12 (the last one) of WP:CORPDEPTH.
Yes, seems factual and informative. But, the publication is not national or regional but local (Newcastle in the UK). It also seems to me to fail point 11 of WP:CORPDEPTH ("quotations from an organization's personnel as story sources").
this talks about Moody's and their rating cut. I'm not 100% sure how to think about this one. This is the original announcement from Moody's and it is a routine announcement from Moody's (point 5 or 6 of WP:CORPDEPTH. See here for a list of all announcements from Moody's regarding UTEX Industries. Therefore fails point
Reuters. The article mentions Utex but the content makes it clear that the information is not reliable.
same topic, different source yes, but its a circular argument. This article directly references reuters as the originating source, therefore this source is not considered as a separate source.
this seems decent except its a copy of a company Press Release so fails WP:ORGIND
this fails WP:CORPDEPTH as it is only a mention in passing
this court case also fails for the same reason. BTW, if a newspaper has covered the proceedings, then there's a good chance that article would meet the criteria.
acquisition news except fails WP:ORGIND because it is a Press Release from the company and their new landlord
another acquisition Except it is listed in a newsletter called "Sealing Technology" which this website sells. You're just looking at a snippet. The newsletter is not widely distributed and (in my opinion) fails as a reliable secondary source.
another one which is also a regurgitation of a Press Release and therefore fails WP:ORGIND (it even has a link to the original Riverstone press release).
and another which is also regurgitating the earlier Reuters unreliable whisper.
US dept of Labor complaint for violations I believe this one is good and meets the criteria.

I believe there are now two sources (and possibly three - perhaps the reuters published rumour meets the critera .. not convinced though) that meet the criteria for establishing notability. The article should incorporate the details in those sources and reference them. I'd like to wait to see if anyone has any further comments on the source above regarding the US dept of Labor complaint before striking my Delete !vote. -- HighKing⁺⁺ 16:39, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Taken in isolation, the comments in this AfD clearly justify closing this as delete. However, the previous AfD, just a couple of weeks ago, came to a very different conclusion. It's true that some of the arguments in the previous AfD were not well-founded (and/or from IP/SPA editors) but there were also some reasonable arguments for keeping that were put forth. Given that, I think it's worth letting this run for another week.

Delete, with reference to the investigation above. Note that the previous AFD only really considered the spammy nature of the article, and did not look in depth at notability as this one has.

Comment - on cursory investigation, an otherwise undistinguished lower middle market company has managed to become the core of a rather convoluted rollup spearheaded by a succession of pe firms, all of which makes for a well-documented, albeit one-dimensional story. It's unclear that the rigorous coverage of the financial saga licenses general notability. Advocata (talk) 11:38, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  The article notes:
  
  Moody's Investors Service has affirmed the ratings, including the B3 Corporate Family Rating and B3-PD probability of default rating, of UTEX Industries, Inc. ("UTEX"). The rating outlook remains negative.
  ...
  The B3 corporate family rating reflects UTEX's small size, a high degree of financial leverage, an aggressive financial policy, and the company's heavy exposure to the cyclical oil and gas market which is currently undergoing a major downturn. The rating benefits from a demonstrated track record of earnings growth, strong free cash flow generating capabilities, and a good liquidity profile. The rating is further supported by the customized and consumable nature of many of the company's products which we believe will partially mitigate on-going earnings pressure resulting for the downturn in UTEX's key end markets.
  ...
  UTEX Industries, Inc., headquartered in Houston, Texas, is a designer and manufacturer of highly engineered specialty sealing and down-hole products primarily for the oil and gas industry. Key products include well service packings, custom tailored products, specialty valves, mining and oilfield products and spring energized seals. UTEX was acquired by affiliates of Riverstone Holdings LLC in April 2013.
  Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Publicly traded corporations says:
  There has been considerable discussion over time whether publicly traded corporations, or at least publicly traded corporations listed on major stock exchanges such as the NYSE and other comparable international stock exchanges, are inherently notable. Consensus has been that notability is not automatic in this (or any other) case. However, sufficient independent sources almost always exist for such companies, so that notability can be established using the primary criterion discussed above. Examples of such sources include independent press coverage and analyst reports. Accordingly, article authors should make sure to seek out such coverage and add references to such articles to properly establish notability.
  Although UTEX Industries is not a publicly traded corporation, I am quoting this text here to emphasize that analyst reports like this Moody's report can be used to establish notability.

In 1992, Utex began to investigate new elastomer systems that could allow the production of plunger packing material that could operate at higher pressures and temperatures as well as operate with less maintenance. Testing and evaluation were conducted, and in 1997, the new composite was introduced and given the name SuperGold.

~~Delete, but encourage rewriting~~ It's an interesting question when someone write a promotional article, and a proper search for sources provides material from which one could write a very different article with a NPOV that represents the situation in a much less positive way, whether we should rewrite the article appropriately. My feeling is that we should keep it in only if someone actually does rewrite it. If Cunard, with his undoubted competence at NPOV writing and sourcing in this field, were to rewrite it now, I would say keep, but as this has not yet been done, I'm therefore saying delete, but encouraging Cunard to use the sources to write a proper article. My feeling about this could be summarized as "hoist by their own petard". DGG ( talk ) 05:36, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Libre (word)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Previously deleted under the title "Libre" (see discussion), later undeleted and dragged through AFC after some cosmetic tweaks. The issues raised in the previous nomination have not been addressed at all; I think the nomination statement I wrote back then could stand today as-is. (I leave it as an exercise for the reader to figure what it speaks about the Articles for Creation process.) Here is a new rationale anyway.

This article spends most time discussing various strands of the broadly-construed free-culture movement (which is already covered elsewhere anyway), with a particular focus on using the word "libre" when referring to them, even if the references provided in the article do not even contain the word. After that, it goes off wild tangents in order to connect topics with very little to no relation to each other. Please especially take note of sentences like "Several albums with title tracks containing the word libre have achieved international acclaim and some have been nominated for Grammy Awards." (no citation for this, of course) and completely made-up claims like that the masks of Pussy Riot members are inspired by lucha libre wrestlers. No, they are not: this is simply what you end up with when you take a piece of cloth to conceal your face and cut some holes in it for the eyes and the mouth; there are very few degrees of freedom here in how the result may end up looking. This is silly pareidolia.

This is not an encyclopedia article, but an original-research, WP:COATRACK, rambling essay-like piece apparently written to advance an obscure-ish activist cause. Even if an article about the ostensible topic of this article (the word "libre") were warranted, it better be written from scratch. —Keφr 15:45, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, or redirect per Muboshgu. People do not get articles just for being as yet unelected candidates in party primaries — a person has to hold a notable political office, not just run for one, to clear WP:NPOL on his political activities. But neither smalltown city councils nor county commissions are offices that pass NPOL, there's no evidence of preexisting notability for reasons outside of politics, the article is written more like a campaign brochure than a proper encyclopedia article, and the referencing is a mixture of primary sources and routine coverage of his candidacy announcement, with very little evidence of reliable source coverage about him in any context that would actually support preexisting notability at all. So no prejudice against recreation in 2018 if he wins the gubernatorial election, but nothing here right now is enough to get him an article today. Bearcat (talk) 14:13, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

First of all it is an non-notable list of attendances. Secondly, there is no evidence that this is complete as all numbers are individually sourced, but also it is an arbitrary cut-off point at 30,000. Qed237 (talk) 13:46, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no evidence of notability. Giant Snowman 20:00, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Precedent is fairly mixed, compare Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of National Hockey League attendance figures, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of attendance figures at domestic professional sports leagues but Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of attendance figures at football clubs and leagues (hmm, based on that, one could consider a speedy WP:CSD#G4 here). On the discussion above: There is clear evidence of "notability", as attendance numbers are part of every match report and widely reported in multiple sources. The question is whether such a list violates WP:NOTSTATS and whether the mix of leagues is something seen in other such statistics or not (if Wikipedia is the only place that publishes such a list, it violates WP:SYNTH, for example like List of sports attendance figures probably does). As to the suggestion of a merge: where would I find the information what the ten clubs with the highest average league attendances are? —Kusma (t·c) 20:18, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Kusma: some websites such as FIFA or UEFA's official websites might have that information. Maybe a statistic site such as soccerway. There are some sources such as these (1, 2, 3, 4) might be helpful if you are interested in this subject. Hope that helps - Inter&anthro (talk) 00:44, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
So the information can't be found on Wikipedia, but elsewhere. Your links actually prove notability of the topic. —Kusma (t·c) 08:35, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry I interpreted your original post as if there are more sources covering this subject, there are indeed articles on Wikipedia covering this subject, such as List of attendance figures at domestic professional sports leagues and List of record home attendances of English football clubs. I would be more than willing to change my vote if this article is proven notable, the only problem is that the stuff I provided as well as all but one I believe of the citations provided in the article fall under WP:PRIMARY, so that would be an obstacle in keeping this article. Inter&anthro (talk) 13:26, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
All of these are secondary or tertiary sources. Press releases from the clubs in question would be primary sources. —Kusma (t·c) 15:06, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I thought WP:PAID's were supposed to comment on talk pages rather than actually edit? Perhaps before seeking payment for creating articles, one should familiarize oneself with inclusion criteria and search for RS on the subject first. One might want to run such an article through AfC to iron out any difficulties before going live in article space.

Declined A7 speedy because the article contains a number of claims of appearing in multiple commercials for notable companies and having coverage in magazines.

Unfortunately, such coverage cannot be found. A single newspaper mentions him as an example with multiple other child models but that's it as far as I can tell. The TV and movie appearances were only as extras, nothing more. Most likely created by the subject or someone close to them but despite the likely COI the text is not spammy enough to justify G11 deletion, so I'm bringing it here.

Fails WP:GNG and WP:NORG. Of the 9 sources only one of them is about N4 and contradicts the article. It starts of by saying "You've never heard of him, but Freek van Workum making beats for TI, 2Chainz and Kid Ink" and says that N4 is an alias for him...no mention of the other producers. The article says we have never heard of him...and the dearth of sources supports this statement. All the other sources are simple credits. As far as I am aware producers are not concerned by WP:NMUSIC so must fulfill WP:NORG which as presented this company does not meet. Domdeparis (talk) 08:00, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Extended discussion

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

Comment Please read all of the references thoroughly. N4 is clearly shown to consist of more than one producer and has been credited for major releases that are deemed notable. These works have charted on Billboard, been certified gold and platinum, and had significant exposure on multiple occasions.

The fact that people had at one point never heard of a producer, yet Vice has published an article outlining his/their success says it all. There are a lot of people who are not interviewed or often written about, but are credited to major works. They are clearly notable and have entries (e.g., Bangladesh (record producer). In regards to your argument of "never heard of him", please read: http://www.creativeloafing.com/music/article/13058131/the-biggest-rap-producer-youve-never-heard-of

How does WP:NORG relate to a music group or producers? If we are talking about McDonald's or the United Nations, I can understand this argument.

In regards to WP:NMUSIC:

Composers, songwriters, librettists or lyricists, may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria:

Has credit for writing or co-writing either lyrics or music for a notable composition. YES
Has had a work used as the basis for a later composition by a songwriter, composer or lyricist who meets the above criteria. YES

Music producers are a key element of a songs success and are also entitled to certifications and awards, such as Grammy Awards (Please see: https://www.grammy.org/files/pages/producer_definitions_for_awards.pdf) Perhaps some of the terminology at WP:NMUSIC should be updated to avoid confusion from individuals not familiar with the subject.

Producers often credited as the writers and/or composers of music. Music credits can be a tricky thing. At times, the individuals are credited under their real names, artist names, group names, or even typos. N4 has been credited for all of these. Bobbybobbie (talk) 05:29, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

reply All articles have to meet the WP:GNG which means that there has to be significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. "Significant coverage" is defined as coverage that addresses the subject directly and in depth. None of the sources do this. Here is as requested a thorough look at all the references:

freekvanworkum.net-not independent as it is the web site of one of the members of N4 and doesn't even mention N4
noisey.vice.com- this is an interview with freek van workum that claims that N4 is an alias for freek van workum

Memory Lane- not independent, N4 is on their roster
The source- not in-depth, the article is about Kid ink N4 is simply listed with 9 other producers he works with
Billboard- doesn't mention N4
Barnes and Noble- not in depth, N4 is simply credited among 24 producers
WWE- doesn't mention N4
EA- doesn't mention N4
Billboard- doesn't mention N4
Tunefind- doesn't mention N4
Official Charts- doesn't mention N4
itunes- doesn't mention N4

So to summarise there is only one source that is in depth but is in fact a solo interview with Freek van workum that wrongly suggests that N4 is his alias. The subject must meet the criteria in WP:NORG because N4 is an organisation, in the way that Wikipedia defines it, that produces records for artists but it is not an artistic group such as a band so the WP:NMUSIC criteria do not apply (maybe that could be changed but this is not the place to discuss that). So I confirm my analysis that this page does not show notability for N4 and despite the fact that the company has produced notable artists and other producers are notable, notability is neither inherited nor inherent. Domdeparis (talk) 07:30, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

reply

Memory Lane (publishing group) - Listed to replace a poorly referenced link added to show the members of N4.
Noisey/Vice - N4 notability - Freek van Workum is a part of N4, a referral to N4 is inclusive of him. If N4 was not notable, they would not bother to mention it.
The Source - N4 is credited
Billboard - Song notability
Barnes and Noble - N4 is credited
WWE - Song notability
EA - Song notability
Billboard - Song notability
Tunefind - Song notability
Official Charts - Song notability
iTunes - Song notability
Allmusic - N4 is credited
Discogs - N4 is credited

All of those articles are mentioned to show the notability of the songs/albums, and then show that N4 (and it's members) are credited to those songs/albums.

"N4 is an organization". In this case WP:NORG does not apply, please read at the end of the first paragraph where it says, "For example, people gathered together for the purpose of making music are covered by WP:MUSIC." This is exactly what N4 does. As I have shown, N4 clearly satisfies the criteria listed in WP:MUSIC. Bobbybobbie (talk) 08:27, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

reply

And when you go to NMUSIC you will see that it refers to artists, bands, composers and lyricists. And as N4 have never been credited as being one of these for a notable song NMUSIC does not apply. I'm sorry but you are clutching at straws. I may be wrong there may be a precedent that overrules the notability guidelines but rather than trying to give a definition to something that is contrary to the guidelines it points to I would suggest that you search for sources that prove their notability as producers. Until then and so as keep this discussion manageable I will not reply any more. Good luck and happy editing. Domdeparis (talk) 08:43, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

reply

N4 has been clearly shown to consist of more than one member, the members have been listed together on all notable songs, either under their own names, under N4, or both, as producers, writers, and composers. Notability as producers/writers/composers has been proven. The links show their credits, even the art work on Money and the Power shows it. They are listed as a production/writer group (by the publishing group). Differentiating the individual names and the group names is trivial. Are you suggesting a page for each member of N4?

Perhaps the WP:MUSIC page does need to be updated. If a producer is credited and able to receive a Grammy Award is it not notable? Remember, they have been credited for production, writing, and composing the songs.

You seem to show a lack of understanding on this topic and went against a senior editors decision to not delete the page. No further input is required. Bobbybobbie (talk) 09:13, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Can't let that one past. I originally tagged for speedy delete which is simply a way of avoiding a deletion discussion this was refused but that doesn't mean that the subject is notable. Please read WP:DPAFD this should help you understand the deletion process, and try and keep your comments on subject and avoid making personal remarks please, these are often seen by the community as being a way of trying to discredit another's arguments when one is on shaky ground. You said something interesting though could you clarify which songs N4 has been credited as having written or composed because this is clearly a criteria for notability if the song is notable. I may have missed that in the article. From what I can see there is just a list of songs produced. Domdeparis (talk) 09:51, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You consistently bring up irrelevant points and change your reason(s) for deletion. This is why I can only assume you are not very knowledgable on the topic of music.

The title "producer" if often used in place or alongside the titles "composer" and "writer". Please see: https://www.discogs.com/Kendrick-Lamar-Section-80/release/5360202 for Kendrick Lamar's album Section 80. There are no credits listed for writers or composers. By your logic, this album and it's producers have no notability.

Another example can be shown here: http://www.allmusic.com/album/through-the-pain-she-told-me-mw0000488310/credits. Sean Combs has been listed as a composer, and Diddy (the same person) has been listed as executive producer, primary artist and producer. It may seem confusing, but this is a common practice in the music industry.

Wikipedia's own page for Record producer needs some serious work, but this might help you: Understanding the Music Business. Please read under the section "Songpluggers" where it says, "In the rock and hip-hop fields, the artist generally either writes her own matieral or co-writes with a producer."

Additionally, see: Producers: What They Do & Why You Should Consider Using One. Please read under the section "What Do Producers Do?" where it says, "On the other end of the spectrum are the producers who are involved in every element of the recording from co-writing the songs to engineering to playing one or even all of the instruments."

Common sense should prevail in this situation, it is clear that N4 consists of more than one producer/writer/composer, all of whom are individually credited on each song/album alongside N4. Bobbybobbie (talk) 20:32, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Bobbybobbie: it is OK to edit your own comments if it has been only a short while but reediting your comments every 2 hours or so is not considered best practice. Please read WP:REDACT. Thank you Domdeparis (talk) 21:11, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for mentioning this, @Domdeparis:. I made some minor changes to improve the readability for any other editors. I can easily follow the guidelines set out at WP:REDACT.

I would like to add that your requirement of significant coverage is invalid. This falls within the "Criteria for musicians and ensembles".

In the case of this article, the following applies under "Criteria for composers and lyricists":

Has credit for writing or co-writing either lyrics or music for a notable composition. YES
Has had a work used as the basis for a later composition by a songwriter, composer or lyricist who meets the above criteria. YES

In addition to this, please read the section "Others" where it states, "Composers and performers outside mass media traditions may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria":

Has composed a number of notable melodies, tunes or standards used in a notable music genre. YES Bobbybobbie (talk) 21:55, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

reply

that's great congratulations! before I can withdraw the Afd can you please provide the sources that prove that N4 is credited as composer on notable songs because I don't think you've added them to the article page. Domdeparis (talk) 22:00, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:MUSIC where it states, "It is a generally accepted standard that editors should attempt to follow, though it is best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply."

Common sense would agree that the individual members of N4, alongside N4 itself - have been credited to several notable works.

Common sense would agree that in the example of Sean Combs (see here), that both names can used for the same person, but for different credits.

Common sense would agree that the title "producer" can and has been used with or in lieu of "composer" and/or "writer" (see here and see Section 80).

I have provided numerous examples and resources throughout this discussion - in order to educate you on the intricacies of crediting, and on notability - in the field of music.

I cannot completely blame you, as the page record producer is a mess, and this could carry on to other areas of Wikipedia, thus confusing those who have little to no prior knowledge on the subject. Bobbybobbie (talk) 01:18, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for trying to improve the article, @Domdeparis:. I am sorry if any of the comments seemed personal. Bobbybobbie (talk) 08:44, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

so no sources to show that N4 were the composers then? So nothing to back up the fact that they meet NMUSIC a part from your affirmation that producer=composer? So I'll let this ride out. If you want NMUSIC to be changed there's a talk page where you'll be able to discuss it with other "experts" like yourself. I nominated this page on the basis that it doesn't meet GNG which it doesn't. I gave you plenty of opportunites to improve the article pointed you to the different policies and you stubbornly camped on your position that producers are covered by NMUSIC. We'll see what others think now. Domdeparis (talk) 12:16, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Domdeparis:, I am flattered, but I don't consider myself an "expert"; however, I have had several years of experience in the music industry. How about yourself?

Do you actually read anything that I write here? I can't go on repeating myself. Numerous other articles on producers have been submitted and accepted on Wikipedia, based on the exact same criteria.

Question time:

Has N4 been credited at the same time as the members of N4?
Has N4 and/or its members been credited for writing and/or composing?
If N4 has been listed as a producer and it's members have been listed as writers and composers, what does common sense tell you?
Did you read all of the educational links that I posted here? If so, what did you learn from them? (Crediting, names in credits, and the role of a producer.)

You say that WP:MUSIC doesn't apply, when WP:NORG states that it does. Within WP:MUSIC, the most logical criteria would be "Criteria for composers and lyricists". *Gasps* Are you defying the notability criteria at WP:NORG in which you - yourself referred to? WP:GNG refers the subject of music specifically to WP:MUSIC (again).

To be honest, I have been waiting for other (knowledgable) people to contribute to this discussion the entire time. Bobbybobbie (talk) 07:03, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The members of N4 would have been listed (individually) under writing/composing for publishing reasons. This is common practice in the music industry. Yes, common sense continues to apply. Bobbybobbie (talk) 08:45, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. In closing, please see The Corporation (record production team). They were credited under "producer" for the song "I Want You Back" by the Jackson 5, but were also credited individually - for writing here. (ASCAP is a very reliable source, when it comes to publishing.) Bobbybobbie (talk) 09:19, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing out the above article it had a serious lack of sources to prove notability. A simple web search of "The Corporation Mowtown" turned up literally hundreds including Rolling Stone the Encyclopedia of Popular music the Telegraph Allmusic etc which all treat the subject in-depth. When a subject is really notable it is so easy to find the sources to prove GNG without having to use the notability criteria for a particular category of subject. I have added the sources maybe you could do the same thing for the other articles? Domdeparis (talk) 09:41, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, boy. Imagine being your teacher...

This example was clearly used to illustrate the fact that a record production group's name is often credited for production, whilst the individuals are credited for writing/composition. Why is this so hard for you to comprehend? Bobbybobbie (talk) 14:18, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

We are discussing the fact that N4 is notable based on it's works (as outlined in WP:MUSIC). Bobbybobbie (talk) 14:28, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

For the very last time none of the sources point to N4 being notable as per WP:NORG or being the composer or songwriter of a notable song. Notability is not inherited this may be "your" common sense but it is contrary to Wikipedia policy please read this it should help you understand why your common sense is not acceptable to the wikipedia community. WP:NOTINHERITED. As you are so set on N4 being judged by NMUSIC criteria, which I contest, please read criteria 6 and the footnote at the end of these criteria. You really need to reread WP:GNG and try and take on board what is written there. You have been unable to supply sources where N4 is named as composer so I refuse to withdraw the nomination. I am now going to drop the stick and back slowly away from the horse carcass as I should have done a long while back, and let others decide. Repeating something 7 or 8 times doesn't make it true...either from my side or yours so lets just agree to disagree and drop the conversation and let others, who will have to wade through the sterile exchanges, decide if the article stays or not. Domdeparis (talk) 15:02, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, both WP:NORG and WP:GNG refer music articles to WP:MUSIC (why else would it exist?)

I've clearly shown that in the case of The Corporation (record production team), they too were credited under "producer" - for the song "I Want You Back" by the Jackson 5, but were also credited individually - for writing here.

Clearly, you refuse to answer my questions - as doing so would completely destroy your argument. Bobbybobbie (talk) 15:22, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Here is yet another example: Stargate (music producers). Production teams are clearly credited individually (in many cases) for writing/composing. I would attribute this to publishing. Bobbybobbie (talk) 15:53, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In regards to record production teams, some members may not be involved in a particular piece of work, therefore each member involved is also credited for publishing reasons.

@Bobbybobbie:, you may want to read this essay. Most editors, (myself among them) think that notability has to be demonstrated for the article subject on their own merits, not for something they are related to. Your statement that they have produced notable works, therefore, is not persuasive unless there is coverage about the producer group themselves. Thank you. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 15:40, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Eggishorn:Please read under "Criteria for composers and lyricists" in WP:MUSIC. There is no mention of coverage, the same for "Others".

Composers, songwriters, librettists or lyricists, may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria:

Has credit for writing or co-writing either lyrics or music for a notable composition. YES
Has had a work used as the basis for a later composition by a songwriter, composer or lyricist who meets the above criteria. YES

Nobody has been able to answer these questions, but they should help in the reasoning for creating a page for N4 and not two separate pages for each member; however, this can be done.

Has N4 been credited at the same time as the members of N4?
Has N4 and/or its members been credited for writing and/or composing?
If N4 has been listed as a producer and it's members have been listed as writers and composers, what does common sense tell you?Bobbybobbie (talk) 15:53, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well, since you bring it up, what common sense tells me, Bobbybobbie, is that you are likely either connected to this group or a fan and are trying to hammer this conversation into using Wikipedia to promote a group of, at best, very marginally notable producers. The "composers" criterion is not evaluated in a vacuum. There have to be actual sources about N4 itself. There is nothing more than credits for the group, which is not persuasive. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 15:58, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Eggishorn: Close... I saw the credits on the cover of the Kid Ink song they produced and looked into them some more. I then saw that they meet the criteria of WP:MUSIC. Hmmm... people really get upset when I question their knowledge here. I am certain that the sources I have here provided are more than sufficient. I proved that the members were credited for writing, production, and composition. WP:MUSIC is satisfied. Bobbybobbie (talk) 16:05, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Eggishorn: oh dear...I think you may have started something that you are going to regret...I guarantee that you will have a repeat of the same futile conversation above. "1/ N4 are producers and have produced some notable songs, 2/ some producers are credited as being songwriters so all producers are the songwriters of the songs they produce even if they aren't credited as such. 3/ songwriters of notable songs are notable themselves. 4/ N4 is notable! Q.E.D" (sound of head being banged against a brick wall and the thud of sticks on dead donkeys all around). Domdeparis (talk) 16:11, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Domdeparis: Well... It clearly does say in WP:MUSIC that they are notable for notable works. I personally don't care what you, or others think, but I go by what has been set out in WP:MUSIC. Anybody who mentions WP:NORG should be disregarded from this discussion. Bobbybobbie (talk) 16:15, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Domdeparis: If you know how to search for credits, then do so. You didn't even know what Allmusic.com was before this discussion... Try ASCAP too. Bobbybobbie (talk) 16:25, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Domdeparis:, I'm not certain I don't regret it already. @Bobbybobbie:, the insurmountable problem is that WP:NMUSIC itself says: ...meeting any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept. emphasis in original It goes on to say: ...the article itself must document notability through the use of reliable sources, and no criterion listed in this page confers an exemption from having to reliably source the article just because passage of the criterion has been claimed. emphasis in original This argument is claiming that exact type of exemption from reliable sourcing. As I said before, no independent source offered is significant, and no significant source is independent. This means that, whatever chain of causation (as it were) you wish to claim for recognizing notability has to fail. I'm sure the closer of this discussion will recognize this. You should also read WP:NPA and WP:BLUDGEON. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 16:29, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Eggishorn:Haha! Oh you are very cheeky! You forgot to quote, "Please note that the failure to meet any of these criteria does not mean an article must be deleted" Reliable sources are all there. What would you deem reliable sites for music crediting? They produced, wrote, composed notable songs. End of discussion. Bobbybobbie (talk) 16:37, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WP:GNG and WP:NORG clearly refer music articles to WP:MUSIC and this article's subjects come under "Composers, songwriters, librettists or lyricists." Why argue against this? There is even a section under "Others". Bobbybobbie (talk) 18:01, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody can actually counter my points in regards to WP:MUSIC, nobody can answer my questions, and everybody keeps referring to WP:NORG (when it says to refer to WP:MUSIC). Somebody is saying that other articles supersede WP:MUSIC (where is it stated?) It's all a little strange. Bobbybobbie (talk) 19:57, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article also meets Wikipedia:Credible claim of significance. Some of you have recently had some speedy deletions declined on this basis. I am starting to think something is up here... It is seems that most people on Wikipedia have general knowledge, but few have specific knowledge on any particular topic. Bobbybobbie (talk) 09:23, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Domdeparis: You are on the record for saying, "I am not a music buff", yet you continue to judge the topic? That says a lot... I see in a another recent case, you continue to misinterpret WP:MUSIC and argue that an album needs greater evidence of notability, when it was in several music charts (which is a criterion). Wait, this one is my favorite: "As far as I am aware producers are not concerned by WP:NMUSIC so must fulfill WP:NORG which as presented this company does not meet." Anybody with music knowledge will laugh uncontrollably at this. It speaks volumes for the rest of your argument(s) and anybody blindly agreeing with you. Bobbybobbie (talk) 09:23, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Simply put, they have been credited for production, writing, and composing several gold and platinum selling (notable) songs. This passes WP:MUSIC, how does it not?
How do people with little to no experience on music and WP:MUSIC have a voice on here? I get the feeling that we need to make some policy changes. In the future, specific admins should have access to specific categories - when it comes to the deletion process.

I also created DJ Montay - which was deleted by somebody not understanding the music criteria, and then placed back in it's article space. It too follows the same criteria that N4 has, yet @Domdeparis: sees no problem with it and even contributed an edit to it! This is too much...

This is not about me fighting for the page, it is not personal; rather, it's about a fair and reasonable process - where only people who thoroughly understand the topic(s) are involved. Bobbybobbie (talk) 17:18, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Simply put, if the sources provided don't amount to coverage above the standard expected by GNG, the subject of the article isn't notable. To head off any possible bludgeoning, I can honestly claim to be my own person, not canvassed by anyone and simply having noticed an abnormally- (and absurdly-, by now) long AfD in the log. I claim no specific knowledge or lack thereof in relation to the subject beyond that of a semi-educated layperson, which I'm pretty sure is what the average user of this website is.

Extended content

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

Thank you for your response, @BigHaz:. What is your take on the article in relation to WP:MUSIC? This is where confusion sets in. I have followed the guide for other work, and it was deemed sufficient; however, in this case - it is not. Bobbybobbie (talk) 00:38, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not looking specifically at anything other than WP:GNG, frankly. That's the "operating manual" for me. Neither am I looking to continue or buy into the war you've been waging with other users regarding this article and their ability or lack thereof to assess its notability. Since you've asked, though, I'll give you a very quick answer and leave the matter at that. MUSIC, ORG or any other guideline regarding topic-specific notability is precisely that - a guideline regarding topic-specific notability. A subject fulfilling enough of the criteria there is highly likely to have generated enough coverage to pass GNG. If they haven't, for some reason, generated that coverage, then they don't magically get an article simply because they tick NMUSIC's boxes. Likewise, they may have generated that coverage without ticking those boxes, in which case they're still eligible for an article. A band I saw on the weekend fits that last example perfectly, before you ask if that ever happens. Looking at this article, it's been demonstrated to my satisfaction that this particular team of producers haven't got the coverage required. Therefore, unless there's more coverage out there, they aren't notable within the definition of the term used here. I appreciate that that's annoying and disheartening to read that in relation to an article you've clearly worked on for some time, but speaking from years of experience I can say it does happen to just about everyone at least once. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 05:02, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's not disheartening at all - I do not take this personal. If admins/editors were able to clearly and specifically point to the correct criteria, it would be an easy process. I have been dealing with people unfamiliar with the topic of music and this is resulted in the lengthy discussion/debate. As soon as people start mentioning WP:NORG in regards to producers - it's a red flag on their comprehension of the topic. As I mentioned earlier, I have had an article approved and have seen several others approved on the same grounds. It is rather confusing. Bobbybobbie (talk) 05:41, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In regards to WP:GNG:
"Sources" should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability. There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected. Sources do not have to be available online or written in English. Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability.
I have supplied the Noisey/Vice interview which is non-trivial coverage in addition to other multiple sources crediting their works (as per WP:MUSIC). Does not fail WP:GNG Bobbybobbie (talk) 06:22, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Since apparently the saga hasn't ended yet, some responses. Firstly, I refer you to the first (bolded) sentence of the GNG. "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." Let's apply this to the source you mention. Is it "significant coverage"? There is some debate on this point earlier in this discussion (yes, I read everything before I commented, apparently I had nothing better to do at the time), but I'll take it as read that if you're going to interview someone who is a member of a group about what he and the group does/do, you're generating "significant coverage". "Reliable source"? Not being overly well-up on Dutch music journalism, I can't confirm in either direction, but let's assume for the sake of things that this is a reliable source. It certainly gives that outward impression. "Independent of the subject"? Ah, here's a problem. An interview - certainly one like this - is only marginally above a press release, in that Mr van Workum is doing all of the talking. That's not independent. Additionally, we should note that the word used throughout the GNG is "sources" in the plural. Even were this interview to be a different kind of music journalism, it still only amounts to the one source. You're right that there's "no fixed number of sources required", but with wording like that, I'd say we're on the hook for at least two, and two secondary sources for preference, rather than the primary one here. The fact that the other sources indicate that the producers have produced the given productions doesn't get around the fact that the article still needs notability not to be deleted. In the interests of having the article kept, may I respectfully suggest that the energies you're putting into flogging the same dead horse you did with other editors be expended in finding these additional sources? That's abundantly more likely to achieve the outcome you so clearly desire. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 06:45, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You might want to familiarize yourself with WP:IV before saying such things. The entire introduction is given by the interviewer (secondary source), and the remainder by the interviewee (primary source). By the way, the article is from Vice Media. Bobbybobbie (talk) 07:01, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is no clear definition. You can say that WP:GNG is all that matters, but then why does WP:MUSIC under "others" have exceptions for this topic? If this was clear then there would be no further discussion. Nobody here has been able to give a valid answer. It seems as though decisions on here are seasonal. I am not seeing any consistency. Bobbybobbie (talk) 07:10, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for assuming that I don't know what I'm talking about. If you insist on continuing to flog the horse, though, let me point out that per IV, as you've rightly stated, the information given by the interviewee is a primary source. You may have missed it earlier, but for a subject to be notable, it needs coverage in secondary sources. Even if we take the interviewer's words as the equivalent of one entire secondary source, I'm not seeing the second or subsequent one the policy requires. The "exceptions under 'others'" you're talking about begins with the wording "Composers and performers outside mass media traditions may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria". Last I checked, current pop music isn't "outside mass media traditions", so don't go insulting everyone's intelligence by clutching at that straw. Even were current pop music somehow mysteriously covered by this exception, you're still missing the point: if a composer or performer fits one of those criteria, there's highly likely to be the sources that GNG requires. In other words, it's not enough to wave your hands in the general vicinity of the article and say "Ah, but they've done X, Y and Z. Therefore, they're notable." You need to actually prove that with sources.

As for your claim that there's "no clear definition", "[no] consistency" and "decisions...are seasonal", that's just simply not true. There is absolutely a clear definition - just not one you like the outcome of. Consistency is what Wikipedia aims for, but I don't think anyone could say hand-on-heart that every single article currently existing should do so and in the format it currently exists in. That's why people can edit the articles and nominate those that they don't believe should be here for deletion, so that others can also review that and agree or disagree. If you see an article you feel needs editing, edit the darn thing. If you feel the subject of the article isn't notable, stick it on AfD and there'll be others coming along to discuss that. Again, I know it sucks to have people say "You know this article you've spent time writing? Yeah, it should be deleted". You're saying you're not taking it personally, but the fact that you're constantly making the same refuted arguments over and over again demonstrates that you're less interested in either trying to improve the article and/or build an encyclopedia than you are in trying to wage some kind of unarmed combat and irritate people. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 07:41, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Since when does only pop have anything to do with mass media? It can refer to behind the scenes personal, such as producers, writers, etc. The artists/bands are usually subject to the public. Bobbybobbie (talk) 08:15, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Consistency is what Wikipedia aims for, but I don't think anyone could say hand-on-heart that every single article currently existing should do so and in the format it currently exists in." Wh... what?! Bobbybobbie (talk) 07:55, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Assuming you're not being wilfully obtuse, consider, among other things, this essay, the forum in which we currently find ourselves, the fact that you can edit articles and the fact that anyone can create articles.

@Bobbybobbie: there's something that I am very curious about, if you don't like what goes on here in Wikipedialand and everyone seems to be incapable of understanding your reasoning why stay? Why on earth do you not just walk away and do something else maybe create a blog about music where you can write whatever you like and distribute your wisdom without being hampered by the unbelievers. Domdeparis (talk) 08:19, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Question: If I create an article for the "Cash me outside" girl's music career, will you all back it up? It certainly passes WP:GNG.

It's not about my opinion, it's about facts. It was not me, but others - who credited them and presented them with platinum and gold certifications - which deems them notable for their work(s). This has all been outlined in WP:MUSIC. Wikipedia needs some work in this area, and I am happy to contribute to it.

When I am on an article about music and other editors keep referring to WP:NORG over WP:MUSIC, then go on to say outlandish things - like, "Consistency is what Wikipedia aims for, but I don't think anyone could say hand-on-heart that every single article currently existing should do so and in the format it currently exists in." Yes... there certainly is a lot to discuss... Bobbybobbie (talk) Bobbybobbie (talk) 09:14, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The trouble is that Wikipedia is a community where we strive for consensus of opinion and the NMUSIC criteria were first created in 2005 they have been modified over a thousand times and no-one has deemed fit to add producers in the list of others. I saw that you started a section on this subject on the NMUSIC talk page and the person who replied said exactly the same thing as here. Even if you succeeded in getting the word producers added ALL articles have to meet GNG. There are criteria for singers and songwriters etc that point towards notability but this does not guarantee notability. A songwriter that was credited for a platinum selling record is presumed notable (this avoids speedy delete or PRODDING) but the sources have to prove his notability and not just prove that he was credited with a platinum record. If no-one wrote about this songwriter and no in-depth secondary sourceS (plural) can be found he doesn't have the necessary notability to warrant a WP page and that article could be challenged in an Afd nomination. You have an interview with Freek v w. Who is one of the members of N4 (notability is NOT inherited so the source 'could' be considered as helping to point to HIS notability and not N4's). You could maybe build on this and create an article about this person but you would need more sources to show notability. Domdeparis (talk) 09:18, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, we need to work on the entire subject. I said this in the start and you were up in arms about the thought of changing the wording of any Wikipedia guidelines. The person I was talking to couldn't give a definitive answer and mentioned that others are welcome to contribute. I don't entirely agree with his definition of notability (Re: New sounds), but this is where we contribute as a community.

As per your not inherited argument, the article clearly names N4 for his work(s) (so do the credits).

Well, it meets WP:GNG. It says "no fixed number" and "generally" more than one source. It all depends on the depth of the information provided on the subject. It doesn't have to be an entire article based on the topic. On this topic, I have provided a non-trivial source and several reliable sources backing up the group's achievements - as per WP:MUSIC. Bobbybobbie (talk) 09:57, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

it's like talking to a brick wall... I apologise in advance as it is not normally the done thing but I'm going to have to shout now...

The guideline says "Composers, songwriters, librettists or lyricists, may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria:" So we now know the company may be notable. Now we need to determine if it is notable. To do that we look at the sources provided and available. I didn't find any sources better than what has already been provided in the article. The sources in the article do not show significant coverage by independent reliable sources. This tells me they do not meet our notability guidelines. ~ GB fan 11:58, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi just looked at the 3 sources added which prove that Freek van workum was a writer on the songs along with Nick Luscombe and 3 other writers that are not part of N4 but this still isn't in-depth coverage and the sources still mention N4 as producers. You may have enough sources to start an article on Freek van workum now but you will need some more in-depth coverage I think too but it's a close pass for him. Unfortunately none of the sources talk directly in-depth about N4 so they do not really help this Afd. Happy hunting. Domdeparis (talk) 15:17, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Rehashing the same arguments

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

You seem to be on a witch-hunt (of sorts). This article passes WP:MUSIC and WP:BIO. This is why I created it - in the first place.

This AFD was filed on false grounds, as at the beginning of WP:N (the article W:GNG is within), it states, "A topic is presumed to merit an article if:

1. It meets either the general notability guideline below, or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific guideline listed in the box on the right;" (The box has WP:MUSIC and WP:BIO inside of it.)

Where on Wikipedia does it state that WP:GNG applies to WP:MUSIC or WP:BIO? It may surprise you, but this is what it clearly says. Please pay attention to detail. Bobbybobbie (talk) 16:00, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Bobbybobbie: You're not "getting in trouble" so don't be dramatic. Dlohcierekim merely collapsed some off-topic discussion that interferes with the ability of an evaluating admin to actually evaluate the consensus of the discussion about N4. Your comment, however, betrays the issue that has permeated every discussion that you have been involved in: That you think there are "opposing parties" in the first place. Please, please, read WP:Wikipedia is not about winning and the other essays and guidelines referenced there. Multiple editors (including, obviously, myself) have cautioned you here and in other places about the way you apparently feel compelled to respond to every comment and this is no different. You have been already warned that this behavior will get you blocked or banned. Let me take a different tack: Do you think that this style of interaction you are adopting is working? Wikipedia is an enormous project with over 125,000 active editors. The only way that works is through consensus. It you decide "consensus is wrong" then you will not have an enjoyable or productive time here.

Delete This is an ecyclopaedia, NOT a timetable. As OP mentioned, a list of historically significant programs/events/miestones is acceptable as it is encyclopaedic. Another point is, the article has all the three "tenses" former, current, and upcoming programming; so obviosly the article will keep on gaining unencyclopaedic content.

Tokyo Dee

I declined the A7 tagging since the article contains some marginal claims of significance, such as appearing in two episodes of Yo Momma, being a significant competitor in a notable radio station's contest and starring in a web series produced by a notable TV network. Erring on the side of caution, I decided to bring it here instead.

However, I cannot find any reliable sources for either the real name or the stage name to back up any of those claims mentioned. As such, he fails WP:NBIO, WP:MUSICBIO and WP:GNG. Regards So Why 07:53, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Avion Films

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Ineligible for PROD. In 2007, was PROD'd as non notable, and de-PROD'd by an IP who disagreed.

In my estimation, this company doesn't pass WP:GNG. Two refs are from Boards Mag, a defunct trade magazine that didn't even publish for a full year. The "honors" from the Clio Awards are minor, Bronze-level mentions along with a number of others. (see here) IMHO they confer no notability.

A Google search shows most Google hits are for a Greek production company with the same name, but that company doesn't seem notable either. The GHits for both are mostly name-drops in release info for films/work they contributed to, but no in-depth coverage of either iteration of Avion. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 06:35, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I see no reason to keep this entry. The company is defunct, and no reasons are apparent in the stub of an article as to why the company is notable.

I wanted this to be properly discussed rather than sitting there forever with a notability tag. There's work to be done in terms of its tone, and the creator has declared that they have been paid to create this. None of that reflects on Webberley's notability one way or the other though.

Comment. The sources seem almost entirely in Korean, but the two linked in the article seem like reputable papers, and may have in-depth coverage. I think we could use an opinion from a Korean speaker. I do think there may be a celebrity-person with a similar name that may be generating extra hits, so approach this carefully. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:20, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In the past, I have nominated many article for deletion on the grounds that they failed establish the notability of the topic by citing coverage in reliable secondary sources. None have been as bad as this article: It cites coverage from very unreliable sources! Namely, LisiSoft, modDB, Chip.eu (not to be confused by chip.de), soft-files.com, freewaregenius.com, the once-respected Download.com, and, worst of all, BrotherSoft! Codename Lisa (talk) 11:45, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wait! This article was deleted TWICE before? I did not know that. Speedy delete per WP:CSD#G4? —Codename Lisa (talk) 11:47, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete. I'll second the speedy delite, having been deleted before. Having a look at the game, it seems legit, and seems to have some vague discussion, but the references are fairly soft, just the odd web site. No reviews for it I could see. Most of the references on the page are web sites, and half the links don't work! Deathlibrarian (talk) 13:11, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
keep. A game with a long history as successful freeware and open source game. that it was deleted before and keeps popping up is not a reason for deletion but a reason for keeping and that the deletions were maybe over-eager. Also, it would be great if instead of deletion a search for sources would be conducted. I found instantly a chip.de source. Shaddim (talk) 14:37, 16 May 2017 (UTC) Edit: an even stronger source, long print-media (with editorial overview) review[reply]
Weak Keep. While the number of unique downloads is not listed with the Sourceforge information, I feel that a game with over 1 million downloads certainly could fall into the noteworthy category. While I agree with the above comment that many of the sources "are soft", as the game is freeware I would tend to expect that. Ceronomus (talk) 15:07, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep TripleA has a constant online community of gamers. It is among not so many games in List_of_open-source_video_games#Open_engine_and_free_content. All games in this category have Wikipedia articles, although not all of them are as popular as TripleA is. Regarding "None have been as bad as this article", I'm sorry to hear that, maybe the article can be improved, but I believe the game is certainly worth an article. It is fairly popular and is in the category of open source software. We should not assume that all open source software is non-notable just because they don't have a company to fund marketing and to improve visibility. The game is in the official Ubuntu repositories. I have added external links with reviews, including reviews from Cnet, Macworld, Chip, Ghacks. Even disregarding the current success, games/software should be considered notable also for historical value. TripleA is maintained right now (by a team of 3), and has been maintained (and played) for the past 15 years.Dl.goe (talk) 18:08, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Now there are even more low-quality references, which makes it worse IMO. Power~enwiki (talk) 06:13, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Can you be more specific ? I tried to filter out non-relevant ones and added only the one which help to understand the reach and impact the game achieved as Freeware game in the freeware game download scene, e.g. by adding for instance that is was included in digital distributor Desura Shaddim (talk) 06:33, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

When I first looked at the article, there were 18 references in the reflist. Now, there are 29, including a few (such as a Gentoo package) which are egregiously trivial in nature. Note WP:OVERCITE Power~enwiki (talk) 06:55, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure the pure number of citations directly leads to overcitation: sometimes you have to back up facts more fine grained. And I disagree that the inclusion of Linux distribution's integration is "trivial". Quite the opposite, linux distributions have hight standards on content review and license review for their content, therefore their inclusion has weight.

Keep Of the many references posted in desperate attempt to save the article only games4mac.de and linux-user.de look like reliable sources with broad enough coverage. I also found half page short article about this game in Linux Format magazine (issue 151, December 2011, p. 72). This is enough to prove notability of this game.

@Wefihe: If you are implying that the involvement of Jeanne Sagan is minor, and therefore diminishes the relevance of the article, I would beg to differ. Jeanne Sagan is married to the singer of the band and is writing the music along with the other members of the band. To suggest that she is simply a bassist and backup singer quite trivializes her role in the band and is not quite accurate. Dan Hello Kitty McCarthy (talk) 19:47, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or merge: "Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable)." Crossing Rubicon released their album with Pavement music which has done business since 1997 and has history with bands such as Soil and Crowbar, both of which are large bands which have pages here on Wikipedia. "Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability." Members of the band also run a promotional company which helps Connecticut bands get shows (Anarchy Promotions), and also partake in podcasts about the Connecticut metal scene featuring front-men of 4 different Connecticut bands (The League of Extraordinary Front-Men). This is in addition to the band featuring Jeanne Sagan, who was in All That Remains and temporarily toured with Acacia Strain. While I agree that it is not the most ideal candidate, I don't believe it is merit-less or without value to the Wiki. Dan Hello Kitty McCarthy (talk) 17:04, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to give some reasons in addition to what is already on the Wiki page. I don't understand the problem any better from your question.

I apologize for the delay in responding. I would recommend reading WP:BAND (just click the link) to see what is required for a musical group to be considered notable by Wikipedia's standards. As one of the participants in this discussion noted, there are 12 different aspects where a band could be judged notable for inclusion on this website. Unfortunately, this group does not meet any of them. I can understand your frustration over the possibility of seeing this article erased, but at the same time its continued presence goes against what is spelled out in WP:BAND.

Delete oppose redirect of a BLP to another BLP. They are not married and have been dating for less than a year. In addition to the standard concerns I have over a BLP redirecting to a BLP: the subject of the redirect having no control over the actions that lead to the content of the article, the young relationship weighs strong. If they break up, having a redirect of a biography of a living person redirecting to his ex-boyfriend would be a major issue, and I wouldn't hold my breath on someone remembering to take this to RfD if the time comes. If they were married or in a long-term relationship, I'd be more open to redirecting, but at this time I can't get behind it, and he is already mentioned in the Thorpe briefly so there is nothing to merge.

Team Essex Volleyball Club

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable semi-professional sports team. Since volleyball in England is not organized at the same level of professionalism as, say, football or cricket, only the national team would be inherently notable. For other teams, evidence of actual significant coverage is needed, and Team Essex fails that criterion. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 01:57, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Volleyball England is a professional National Governing Body which is the NGB for English Volleyball Clubs, many of which have their own Wikipedia pages, IBB London Polona, London Malory, Sheffield VC, to name but a few. It is not organised to the extent that Football agreed, but that is the national Sport, other sports will always be different and in my opinion its not fair to compare football to volleyball. If we looked at Italy, who won the Olympic silver medal in Rio2016, their Italian Volleyball Governing body is not organised like their football equivalent. However Volleyball England is attracting World Championship players, such as Ignazek, from Poland and is certainly a reputable governing body. Team Essex is notably for its Olympic Talent, two former players played in the London2012 Olympics, and form its junior to senior ranks, dozens of players compete for the English National Team. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chestersearle (talk • contribs) 13:42, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~ There are lots of examples of the what I suppose would deem significant coverage of Team Essex Volleyball Club in the media. Essex TV is an online television platform, which boasts both its online TV and an online magazine in the Essex region of England.https://www.essex-tv.co.uk/team-essex-volleyball-club-makes-history/, The Edge is a free online consumer based magazine based in Chelmsford, the city of the team's location,http://issuu.com/topdrawmedia.com/docs/edgemay2017?e=1369656/47971685, Volleyball England does its own season review which cites Team Essex's spot in Super 8s next season.https://www.volleyballengland.org/news/article/5534/the-thursday-review. Live coverage is also a regular event, with all our games being streamed by Essex Television. This link is for example the link to our shield final, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqg-4AVO2kg&t=4600s, streamed by Volleyball England, the Confederation European Volley member. I believe this page should be kept as while it may be argued that players and the league in which a team does not hold enough significance to deem it worthy of a volleyball article, these players of notoriety are Olympic athletes. Volleyball might not be recognised widely by some but IMHO I believe that teams in the top division of a country's sporting league should be deemed worthy enough of a Wikipedia article.
