Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Bands and musicians

Shortcuts

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

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Bands and musicians|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Bands and musicians. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Can not find any RS that establishes notability other than as a cast member on The GC.[1][2][3]

Her only song to have (briefly) charted was the theme song for the GC. Says she was a finalist on X-Factor, but she's even not mentioned in the wikilinked article.

Would say WP:REALITYBIO applies here. At the very least, this should be merged with The GC as that's what RS shows is notable, not her as a singer. Nil🥝^Talk 00:20, 22 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - this is not a keep/delete recommendation from me, but just to note that I found these three sources with a decent amount of coverage in Chinese: udn.com, sohu.com, zaobao.com.sg which suggests to me that the subject may be notable. I'll take a better look a bit later. Not sure about the reliability of Sohu as a source. But on the face of it United Daily News and Lianhe Zaobao look OK. It's a bit of a pity that the zhwiki article, which is lengthier, is similarly ill-sourced. Cheers, SunloungerFrog (talk) 15:53, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – I did a WP:BEFORE and found nothing, I believe that if there is coverage, it is in Tamil. Svartner (talk) 21:59, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I understand that Wikipedia generally prefers articles/coverage in English to ascertain a person's notability. While there are only a few English news sources, the subject of the article is a fairly popular name among the regional audience. Beyond the existing references, she has been mentioned in and linked back from several other articles, which I urge to be considered valid enough to establish her notability.

Subject does not appear to pass WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO. Notability not inherited from collaborating with notable artists. None of the sources in the article provide him with WP:SIGCOV, and I'm also uncertain if all are reliable anyways as some are self-published. I searched manually through Swedish newspapers (they are not usually indexed in Google) and found zero mentions. I also wasn't able to find any additional sources in g-news, newspapers.com, or PressReader. Zzz plant (talk) 14:37, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: While the article does say he is an Indian actor and singer, the article (such as it is) is more about his acting career and does not bring up his singing any further, so NACTOR would be more relevant here.

Semi-advertorialized ("he retains his love for the folk music of his people, appears with many traditional music stars, and actively helps young, talented musicians seeking to take their places in the music world") WP:BLP of a musician, not properly referenced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. As always, musicians are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to be shown to pass certain specific notability criteria verified by WP:GNG-worthy coverage about their careers in third party sources independent of themselves -- but this cites no proper references at all, isn't claiming anything about him that would be "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to pass GNG on the sourcing, and has been tagged for notability concerns since 2013 without seeing any discernible improvement since. And since his article on the Bosnian Wikipedia isn't any better sourced either, we also can't salvage this just by pulling over existing sources from there.

Zeek (music producer)

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

Fails WP:GNG and WP:NMUSIC. The article doesn’t show that the subject has received significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. Most of the references are self-published or affiliated platforms like CanvasRebel, SoundBetter, and social media, which don’t establish notability. The tone also reads more like a personal bio or promotional piece rather than an encyclopedic article. Thilsebatti (talk) 05:57, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable band. Coverage from reliable sources is insufficient for establishing notability. Fails WP:NBAND. Also possible WP:COI or WP:PE. CycloneYoris ^talk! 21:00, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Bands and musicians, United States of America, and Virginia. CycloneYoris ^talk! 21:00, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not understanding how this artist fails notability. The band meets at least two of the WP:NBAND criteria as outlined. They are the subjects of a feature documentary that has been distributed world-wide via Tubi and Amazon Prime. Additionally, their music has been featured in several independent films with global reach. Dndlive (talk) 21:37, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Further, a conflict of interest does not exist with this publication, as the artists in question are independent and representing themselves. They are not receiving payment and I am not receiving payment for proposing their inclusion on Wikipedia. Dndlive (talk) 21:41, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I humbly request that this article remain published due to artists meeting Wikipedia inclusion criteria, and that I be given the opportunity to revise the citations in order to avoid bare URLs and have a clear citation style. Any help is greatly appriciated. Dndlive (talk) 21:46, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The feature documentary appears to be directed by the band founder, so is a WP:Primary source. I am not seeing evidence, in the article and WP:BEFORE, of any secondary coverage showing how the subject meets WP:MUSICBIO, including coverage of the documentary itself. As it appears to be mentioned in the article - I was going to propose redirect to David Dillehunt per WP:ATD, but the sourcing for the content in that article is also poor so I just don't see how this can be anything other than Delete. Happy to modify my !vote if coverage turns up. User Dndlive - if you need any help or hints on wikipedia notability please let me know. ResonantDis_tortion 22:08, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

After reviewing all the sources, it's clear they do not support notability under either WP:GNG or WP:NMUSIC.

Delete - The article's creator almost certainly has a conflict of interest, but Anna Fantastic does have some media coverage that could support a brief mention or two in the history of Prince's vast circle of arm candy and hangers-on. There is some reliable media coverage of her presence in the Prince organization and how she inspired a few songs: [14], [15]. Unfortunately all her coverage is about tangential connections to Prince's history while she tends to pop up for occasional interviews about things she saw a few decades ago, and her later career floating around music and film has generated no reliable coverage focused on her specifically. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:58, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Brenda Vongova meets WP:BIO and WP:CREATIVE criteria for notability. She has:
- Founded the UN Chamber Music Society, which has performed at the UN General Assembly and Carnegie Hall;
- Collaborated with international institutions such as the New York Philharmonic, UNESCO, and the Abu Dhabi Festival;
- Been profiled by reputable media sources including *Vogue*, *Newsweek*, *GRAMMY.com*, and *JNS*;
- Worked as a high-level UN civil servant in the Executive Office of the Secretary-General;
- Produced concerts and events in observance of UN-recognized days such as Holocaust Remembrance Day and World Arabic Language Day.

Delete based on the above analysis of sources, which shows that she lacks significant coverage in reliable sources. The creator is a SPA solely devoted to making articles related to the UN indicative that they are involved with the UN. Many of the sources have been deprecated for years.

Mr. V

Subject does not appear to meet the notability criteria of WP:N and WP:BIO. I cannot find significant coverage in independent reliable sources. There's an album review from The Skinny, which doesn't say much about Mr. V himself, and a four-paragraph biography at various places including Resident Advisor, Insomniac, and Last.fm, which was copied wholesale into the Wikipedia article (a clear WP:COPYVIO). Much of the article is pure WP:PUFFERY. The copyright violation and puffery can be fixed, of course, but fundamentally I don't think the subject meets the notability bar. —Bkell (talk) 19:29, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

- These aren't the same artist. Note that the original Wikipedia article did not mention "Give Me Life", which is strange if this Mr. V recorded a single that reached the top 40 in the UK. "Give Me Life" appears to have been mastered in the UK [16], while the Mr. V that is the subject of this article is American; Discogs.com says that the real name of the "Give Me Live" Mr V is Rob Villiers [17], while the real name of the Mr. V that is the subject of this article is Victor Font. —Bkell (talk) 16:18, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  Hi @Bkell, that looks a fair spot but I think the situation may be more complex than that. Three of those charted tracks in the link are definitely attributed to the article subject per the musicbrainz record. It's possible the OCC may have made the mix up here.

Let's see the sources, [1]—seems reliable enough [2]—primary [3]—IMDb [4]—just a Google search [5]—another IMDb [6],[7],[8]—all seem reliable enough (though I'm not doing a full check to see whether they are truly reliable) Per WP:SINGER, I can't seem to find where this musician meets points 2, 3, and 9, I haven't checked further, but this article potentially fails other points too. Doing a WP:BEFORE, I only found vast swaths of social media posts and primary sources, with finding only one source which talks a bit about how he ended his music career. I found nothing else in my search. The article content is littered with unsourced and short sections that are basically fancruft. So violating WP:BLP too.

Fails WP:GNG and WP:NBAND. The article relies heavily on primary and niche fan sources. There is very little significant coverage from reliable, independent sources that give any in-depth discussions of the band. They have never been signed to a major record label, their music has never seen any chart success, and there is no clear historical significance of the band, therefore they do not meet the standard of substantial, independent coverage required to establish notability.

Keep - aside from the aforementioned Forbes article and piece in Huck Magazine I've found a short piece in Vice and an interview in Tubefilter, additionally it's a dead link but existing references in the article to Metro and a short piece from Computerandvideogames, all of which are notable outlets with their own articles. Aside from those, coverage of his work in TheNextWeb, an interview in Gizorama and an article from 2012 in VentureBeat. As much as a few of these aren't amazing sources (some veer into failing WP:INTERVIEW) I think there's enough here to suggest notability. ser! ^{(chat to me - see my edits)} 12:26, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- forbes and huck -> interviews
- vice -> 3 paragraphs hardly in-depth coverage
- tubefilter is also an interview
- the metro article has half a paragraph on him
- computerandvideogames -> two very short paragraphs
- thenextweb is mainly about the video not dan bull, like 2 paragraphs mention him and only as the creator of this video basically
- gizorama maybe you meant to link to something else he's not mentioned?
- venturebeat is again not really about dan but a video he made
The only significant coverage is from interviews which aren't secondary or independent of the subject TheLoyalOrder (talk) 21:58, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
While 2-3 paragraphs may not be in-depth coverage on their own, I wouldn't call them insignificant. It is a start, and if he's significant enough to be interviewed on several separate occasions, then it stands to reason that there may be more out there. Here are some other potential sources I found excluding several smaller mentions I skipped over which included an NYT article and an Indian business magazine:

I found this article https://creativecommons.org/2012/05/02/musician-dan-bull-reaches-9-on-uk-indie-charts-using-cc0/ which suggests he might have charted with his song "Sharing is Caring". I have verified this information on the official website https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/23523/dan-bull/ but I'll need another opinion as to whether those subcharts would merit notability under criteria 2. — 🪫Volatile ^{📲T | ⌨️C} 23:59, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Leaning Keep: With several songs in specialist national WP:GOODCHARTS, a segment on national television [23] and [24] where a reliable source is calling him one of the "internet's biggest names", a Toronto Star pick, and the multiple non-trivial coverage identified above, just about enough the presume a Keep - particularly if all the sources are combined per WP:BASIC. Furthermore there is secondary coverage in WP:RS interview articles with a depth of preparation, then per WP:INTERVIEW#Notability that bylined coverage may count towards notability. ResonantDis_tortion 12:43, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  The song “Sharing is Caring” charted in British Hip Hop and R&B Singles charts in 2012, but that isn't criteria 2 "national music chart". I don't think "The 50 Funniest Moments of 2012" and Rich Fulcher "media mashups" are particular relevant. The Toronto Star video is more specifically about Lily Allen. IgelRM (talk) 23:26, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  Bull charted on the UK Hip Hop and R&B Singles and Albums Charts, and twice on the UK Independent Singles and Albums Charts; both national charts but speciality as I indicated above; not slamdunk conclusive on their own but a good indication of WP:MBIO nonetheless. There is a biography on laut.de which is trending reliable per Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Albums#laut.de. Furthermore Game Informer, which is an WP:VG/RS, has a bylined article calling the subject "the Mike Skinner of video games". There are further coverage in articles such as [25] and [26] and [27]. With all the sources identified above, such as [28] and [29] and [30], coupled with the charting, there does appear sufficient non-trivial coverage to build an article and presume notability.
