WP:DSMUSICWP:DSMUSIC

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

Adding a new AfD discussion

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

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|Music|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

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

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

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

Further information

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

This was made in 2008 and nobody contributed a source since then. The existence of this song is definitely verifiable, and has occasional bursts of mentions that may indicate notability, but I tried doing a Google Books search and I only see cursory mentions, nothing substantial from e.g. historians or musicologists. Can someone else find some? If nothing of value can be found, maybe we can merge the gist of this under Ustaše#Symbols, and get rid of the copy&pasted lyrics, the existence of which seems to give undue weight to these fringe ideas?

Jonathan Mayers

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

Appears to be a case of WP:BIO1E, and recent routine coverage due to his death, and he isn't even mentioned in Outside Lands. Could just be included in the history of Bonnaroo. ZimZalaBim ^talk 03:38, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. What would be the one event? Dying? His death isn't what they talk about, but he received obituaries from numerous highly reliable papers, including The New York Times as a non-local, a strong sign of notability. Someone who gets obituaries like that is simply going to have been covered before, and it's not like there isn't lots of coverage before that for decades [3] [4] [5]. There is tons of coverage for this guy. Clearly notable. PARAKANYAA (talk) 05:21, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

- Changinging my choice for the redirect target to Superfly (company). —LastJabberwocky (Rrarr) 05:05, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Superfly (company), a lengthy, comprehensive, well-written article about Mayers' company that put on Outside Lands, Bonnaroo, Vegoose, Great GoogaMooga, Cocktail Magic, Project Pabst, Clusterfest, Lost Lake, Grandoozy and other entertainment events. It discusses Mayers and Superfly's other three cofounders. I think Mr. Mayers was notable but only in the context of his work based on looking at 20+ articles from the The Wikipedia Library; a separate article adds nothing especially since, as the NY Times obituary put it: "No information about Mr. Mayers’s upbringing or survivors was immediately available.". The last paragraph of the Pitchfork obituary has a little additional information about Mayers' falling out with Superfly; that can be added to the Superfly article. --A.

Amongst the Pigeons

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

Article relies on two sources (one of which is a blog). I have searched for more reliable secondary sources on the article. There appears to be a lot of music blog coverage however this would not be suitable. There is an occasional interview, and primary sources however I do not think there is enough widespread secondary sources to meet the requirements of WP:music

Delete - per nomination. None of the items on the list have their own article. There's plenty of links in the list, but they all link to the songs, EPs, or albums, and the subject is fan-made (music) videos. Most linked articles either 1) don't mention the fan videos or 2) probably shouldn't considering the unreliable/awful sourcing used. Sergecross73 msg me 17:54, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom and Sergecross. Maaaaaybe this could be redirected to "Weird Al" Yankovic videography or something of that nature if Yankovic truly did endorse these videos on his website as the article claims, but I find that to be an incredible stretch. Leafy46 (talk) 19:58, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per the above. Very little discussion of the subject of fan-made videos, let alone the entries having no independent entries, warrants deletion of the list without mentioning its content elsewhere. Surayeproject3 (talk) 17:30, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, the article is quite old and has not been updated for a long time. In fact, it is a stub without any sources. If the discussion here does not interest the editors in expanding the article, then it is probably better to delete it. --Nuerkran (talk) 11:49, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Subject meets criteria of WP:MUSIC: his songs have charted (e.g., "Sakhiyaan" with over 600 million views), he has been nominated for a notable award (PTC Punjabi Music Awards), and received substantial coverage in reliable sources, including recognition from Spotify. Notability is well-established. Cinelatina (talk) 20:39, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable musician. Fails Wp:GNG and Wp:NMUSIC. No SIGCOV is available, just passing mentions and routine PR articles for the releases. There are two award nominations as well but both of them are non-notable and just nominations. Also, the article's creator was blocked as a sock and UPE.

This is an invalid argument. See Wp:WHATABOUT, WP:TDLI,and Wp:POV. Zuck28 (talk) 06:04, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Notability is demonstrated under WP:MUSIC. Subject has produced and composed for widely recognized artists and songs (e.g., "Sakhiyaan", "Sorry", "Saara India") released under independent labels. His production work has received broad exposure and coverage, confirming his significance in the Punjabi music scene. Cinelatina (talk) 20:37, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The group looks likely to meet WP:MUSIC with coverage from, e.g., The Guardian ([12]), NME ([13]), The Line of Best Fit ([14]), and Drowned in Sound ([15]). I doubt this exhausts their 2008-era coverage (going to paper probably necessary for much more). Chubbles (talk) 05:43, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: ~~Delete: No SIGCOV in RS.~~ No awards, charting, certified gold. The band hasn't posted on Myspace or Facebook in the last 7 years. Their website is down. I only found a couple of Youtube videos from 11 and 13 years ago. I also found a few more sources but from many years ago. Most likely they have disbanded. ~~Either way notability is not met.~~ — Itzcuauhtli11 (talk) 18:15, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Aside from the SIGCOV identified by Chubbles, I found: [16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21], [22]. We indeed don't know whether they didbanded or not, but there are enough coverage of their work to keep the article. —LastJabberwocky (Rrarr) 03:46, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I also found some of those sources. The 3 articles in the town newspaper (The Bolton News) and the NME blog doesn't seem important enough to me. The BBC News articles are also local. About Chubbles' sources, ~~two are online music magazines which are difficult to asses as reliable.~~ The Guardian and the NME article are ~~the only~~ sources I would consider useful, and perhaps the BBC ones.— Itzcuauhtli11 (talk) 19:19, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep plenty of reliable sources coverage such as The Guardian, BBC, NME. Also coverage in Drowned in Sound and The Line of Best Fit which have already been assessed as reliable as per Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Sources. Passes WP:GNG in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 21:50, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't know those two sources were reliable. Thank you for pointing that out.

Green Monkey Records

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

I do not believe this indie record label passes WP:GNG. The article as written is mostly referenced to primary sources or blogs. I could not find much coverage in my own search, just a couple short articles from local newspapers found on newspapers.com. Mbdfar (talk) 14:20, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm in the process of finding WP:IRS and was able to find one today from The Rocket magazine https://washingtondigitalnewspapers.org/?a=d&d=RCT19860401.1.9&srpos=2&e=-------en-20-RCT-1--txt-txIN-green+monkey+records------ I assume it is acceptable. If not please let me know. I will add more content and WP:IRS as time permits. I am fairly new here as far as contributing. Otheriver (talk) 23:49, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I do consider that a WP:RS, but more will be needed to satisfy WP:GNG or WP:NCORP. Consider WP:AUD – The Rocket at the time was a small, Seattle-based music magazine. My search also turned up some additional The Rocket articles, but are you able to find additional sources that cover the subject in-depth? Mbdfar (talk) 18:55, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure yet. I'm still at the beginning of my research. I was going to check a Seattle Times article the same day, but it was behind a paywall. I have some other places I need to check and read yet. Otheriver (talk) 01:59, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep there are enough sources to establish notability given that there is less media available online from that time frame. Also the label had a few established acts. Darkm777 (talk) 18:51, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I had tagged this in 2023 and see nothing that has taken place since that time to establish notability (a quick BEFORE search finds nothing meeting WP:CORPDEPTH. As far as "there is less media available online from that time frame" - what time frame? The 1980s? We have archives and I searched those as well.

Keep The citations presented are OK and will pass notability guidelines. The PopMatters review and KEXP coverage provide independent recognition. Yolandagonzales (talk) 15:07, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Album reviews don't cut it. This is a company so WP:NCORP applies. Can you point out the WP:THREE that meet WP:ORGCRIT?--CNMall41 (talk) 16:01, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Which citations? One of the two blogspot posts, the WordPress page, perhaps the book titled Gobbledygook: A Dictionary That's 2/3 Accurate, 1/3 Nonsense? Otherwise, some stuff that's entirely about Tom Dyer, The Green Pajamas, and one album the label published. Trivial mentions about the company itself. The Rocket article is the only source presented that, imo, lends notability to the label. Mbdfar (talk) 17:15, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There is also coverage in The News Tribune by Gillian G Gaar from 1988 [23] (some quotes from Tom Dyer, but info about the label too, in an article about many independent labels). I have found a couple of articles about Tom Dyer from 1986 and 2021 in The Olympian [24], [25] which include info about the label. There's also some coverage in The Strangest Tribe: How a Group of Seattle Rock Bands Invented Grunge [26], but I'm not sure how much - the index lists 4 page numbers, but the digital book has no page numbers and not all pages are visible, unfortunately. It looks like there is probably enough. If there isn't enough for an article about the record label, there probably should be one about Tom Dyer. RebeccaGreen (talk) 14:06, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
