Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Bands and musicians

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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:
  1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|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.

Filing on behalf of, and also because I concur with IP 2406 who brought this to my attention following some cleanup I'd done on it in the past. Haffner does not appear to have attained any notability nor did the song. The article is likely a copyvio but reverting 17 years of edits seemed counter productive when I have not identified sourcing on which to improve the article. I do not think a redirect to Barack Obama 2008 presidential primary campaign or 2008 North Carolina Democratic presidential primary would be helpful to the reader so not viable ATDs Star Mississippi 02:19, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

it is not demonstrated that Wikipedia:Notability_(music)#Criteria_for_musicians_and_ensembles is met.

I would like to point out that en.wp has had a problem with this article in the past, see for example Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Ryanvasquez19993/Archive.

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]

    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. Aishu.m (talk) 05:21, 22 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Links from other articles have no bearing on notability, nor does English language sourcing if you can show the depth of sourcing in Tamil articles. The issue is that mentions and popularity are not significant enough for notability Star Mississippi 13:05, 22 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Completely unsourced, horrifically written (seems AI-ish) and seems like a COI violation. 750h+ 13:39, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, even if she were to meet NBIO this is so badly written and overly promotional we'd be as well starting over per WP:TNT. CoconutOctopus talk 15:02, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as doesn't meet WP:NBASIC. I can find multiple sources that mention Andrews, mostly in reviews of stage productions, but not a single source that provides the tiniest bit of biographical content. Schazjmd (talk) 18:12, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Reviews of her work count towards notability per WP:NACTOR - they help establish the productions as notable, which in turn establish notability for her. So for example, reviews of theater productions for notable plays would count. Historically theater productions are covered in the main article for the play, even if the individual production has enough coverage to where it would pass most other notability guidelines. So if she was frequently cited in reviews for performances for say, The Trip to Bountiful (like this one by Variety or this by the Chicago Tribune), that would count towards notability for her per NACTOR.
That's the catch with actors - it's best if they have coverage that focuses on them specifically, but reviews of their work do count towards notability. It might seem like this is being a bit too loose and easy going, but I will say that the vast, vast majority of actors don't have enough cumulative coverage. The ones that have coverage tend to only receive it for one production/film/show. It's still pretty exclusive. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 13:16, 22 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm looking for coverage of her work, starting with the theatrical stuff. So far I've found about 8 reviews for her theatrical roles and I'm only getting started. Offhand it looks like she would pass NACTOR per this criteria: "The person has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions". As stated above, theatrical performances typically do not have individual articles for each production - the article usually just focuses on the play itself and might list performances elsewhere - not every article collects every notable performance, as theater doesn't always get the focus it should on Wikipedia and when it does, it tends to focus on the major major productions.
I'm just worried that arguing against reviews as a sign of notability in this situation would have a fairly negative impact on establishing notability for other stage performers, as it's difficult enough as it is to establish notability for them. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 13:41, 22 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I would agree with those two sources supporting notability for Lois Smith because each gives a thoughtful review of her performance, but not for Andrews who is barely mentioned in those reviews.
Variety: In the touching centerpiece scene on a bus from Houston to Harrison, Carrie bonds with a young soldier’s wife, Thelma (Meghan Andrews). [...] Andrews makes a sweet if slightly blank Thelma
Chicago Tribune: And we follow Meghan Andrews, who plays a decent young woman whom Miss Watts has encountered on her journey and who would help her even more, if she wasn't so scared of the world.
I found those reviews (and many similar ones) during my search, but I don't agree that mere mentions of her appearances are sufficient. Being a working actor isn't equivalent to being a notable actor. Schazjmd (talk) 14:43, 22 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The character of Thelma appears to be a fairly major supporting character. Not the main character, but it seems to be an influential one within the play. The fact she's mentioned in the review is pretty major. But aside from that, she's also portrayed major characters in other plays as well. She's a central character in Ladies, Doubt, and Collected Stories, for example.
She's got a pretty large amount of sourcing for her work as a stage actress - I haven't dove into her TV work yet. I'd be surprised if there wasn't some coverage for her work in TBC. While it only lasted for 13 episodes, the show itself was notable and the character of Mallory was a major character in the books and TV series. She was one of the titular babysitters of TBC and was in every episode of the series.
To be fair, I agree. Being a working actor doesn't make one notable. However the average working actor receives either zero coverage or is limited to a mention in a bulk cast list. Getting mentioned in an actual review, particularly by major outlets like the Chicago Tribune, LA Times, NYT, and so on, is far more rare and harder to achieve. Also to be fair, I'm going to ask for some more input from WP:THEATER for their stance on this. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 16:48, 22 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
WP:Theater looks a bit abandoned, so I'll also ask at RS/N and Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Biographies. As mentioned prior, this has the potential to impact more than this one AfD, so I'd like some wider consensus. I want to make sure that we aren't going to negatively impact other articles in an attempt to get rid of an article with COI issues. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 17:02, 22 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Actually not RfC - I meant third opinion. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 17:05, 22 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'll move that discussion to the AfD talk page, though. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 17:05, 22 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The article needs cleanup, but that's not a problem for AfD. Andrews has had some major roles in a couple of notable shows, but what she seems to be more well known for is for her theater work. She has over a dozen sources for her roles in various productions, with reviews in some fairly notable outlets. If her main claim to fame was just being in The Babysitters Club I'd recommend a redirect there, but again, the theatrical history. There has been some question about how in-depth the reviews need to go into as far as her performance is concerned, but I'll note that the reviews in question are overall in-depth about the production and in some pretty major, notable outlets. If the article becomes a target for promotional editing, then we can protect it and block the editors in question. I don't think that we need to throw the entire article away in this situation. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 16:58, 22 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Rewriting has removed the need for TNT. Significant roles in multiple TV series is good for NACTOR. duffbeerforme (talk) 06:15, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep based on present condition and above commentary. TNT is overrated and taken too far. Fix rather than break, and the sorry state of an article is never justification for deleting. Notability is our god king. -- Very Polite Person (talk) 19:14, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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.

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]

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.

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]

"Give Me Life" appears to have been mastered in the UK [18], 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 [19], 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.

  • Delete: This might be the same person [21], doesn't seem to be a RS regardless. I don't see enough to show musical notability, the few sources are as explained, just not enough. Oaktree b (talk) 02:55, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • That's not the same person: that's James Virgil, not Victor Font. But this highlights the difficulty of finding reliable sources about this particular Mr. V. —Bkell (talk) 16:30, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as nominator. ResonantDistortion has found some good sources, has demonstrated that the subject is notable, and has done solid work in cleaning up the article. —Bkell (talk) 21:34, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about someone who acted in one movie and nothing else. Seems too personal of an article with barely any real information on the individual. GamerPro64 05:24, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination: Query whether Decker really warrants his own article. Suggest wikidata page should be sufficient. MmeMaigret (talk) 07:47, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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.

  • Delete Article is WP:REFBOMBed with mostly one-off primary fan sources or unreliable sites (YouTube, etc.). The new reference in Ynet is just an album review, not really about the band at all. Without anything specifically about the band I don't see how there can be an article, especially one this detailed. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 10:59, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:GNG, no WP:SIGCOV. All the sources currently on the page that aren't to, like, youtube videos are very short and barely talk about him. From google there's a Forbes WP:INTERVIEW but that's all I found. I like the guy's music but he doesn't meet Wikipedia's requirements for an article TheLoyalOrder (talk) 07:49, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Found a feature from Huck (magazine). IgelRM (talk) 12:15, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/redirect to Epic Rap Battles of History; Aesthetica source looks fine, others don't appear to add much. IgelRM (talk) 16:10, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That merge or redirect would likely be confusing, as he was only a guest in that series to the best of my knowledge. Ike Lek (talk) 19:44, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Right, perhaps just a redirect although even that might be confusing. IgelRM (talk) 14:39, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/redirct per IgelRM. Subject doesn't really have its own WP:SIGCOV outside of the main article. Shooterwalker (talk) 18:08, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Have you read above? I do think a merge could be confusing as Ike Lek said. IgelRM (talk) 23:28, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
