A huge part of this list article violates WP:DIRECTORY. See a precedent at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of current Star Magic artists. Per Mrschimpf there, "Wikipedia is not a talent agency database." JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 10:48, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I used this as a hypothetical example because I thought it didn't exist...I should stop being surprised. Like I said on the other AfD, we're not a talent agency's database, and by their very nature, the 'sources' used here are all PR promotional announcements announcing someone's signing (or even just unconfirmed rumors).

Delete Per WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Wikipedia is not a WP:WEBHOST for talent agencies. Newshunter12 (talk) 22:36, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I was a little on the fence about this. On one hand, there are plenty of industry sources to justify notability, but I think the issue is more about WP:NOT rather than WP:N. WP:NOTIMDBPRO? Trying to think of when a general reader could possibly find a probably out of date list of one-time clients of a talent agency a valuable bit of information and struggling. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 23:40, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Given that this got around 6000 pageviews in the past month, clearly some readers do. Elli (talk | contribs) 07:32, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
