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

Article about musical artist that does not satisfy musical notability or general notability. Nothing in the text of this article addresses any of the musical notability criteria or refers to third-party significant coverage. This article was draftified six months ago and has been moved back to article space, and so is a contested draftification that should not be unilaterally moved back to draft space again. A review of the sources shows that they are a user-generated biography, an interview, and listings by music streaming services. There is no independent secondary coverage.

Bit of a weird one. I reverted vandalism on this the other day and only just now actually read it. A WP:BEFORE search turns up very little, other than the "Blabbemouth" article. On the Limp Bizkit article, the subject of this article is basically just a footnote. The problems with the sources were noted 14 years ago and have not been fixed. While not libelous, the tone of the article reads as critical to me, which was further cause for concern given the sources. I'd say "Blabbermouth" is not WP:RS, another source is WP:DISCOGS. Given the fact that this BLP article has been abandoned without verification for over a decade, I'd say it's best to cut it loose. Kylemahar902 (talk) 15:07, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Keep - In addition to the two Blabbermouth articles already cited, I found one more at [1], and he has another reliable source from Louder at [2]. As a member of two notable bands (Limp Bizkit and Snot) he satisfies criterion #6 at WP:NMUSIC, though his notability outside those two bands is mostly non-existent. Therefore, if the article is kept it should pared back to verifiable info and his various other activities could be discarded as non-notable. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 23:00, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominating for deletion on behalf of the article subject, requested by band member Chelsea Jodoin, per WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE, WP:GNG and WP:NMG. The article subject believes the band is nonnotable, which should not have an article on Wikipedia. See VRTS ticket # 2025020410000932. Geoff | ^{Who, me?} 01:20, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: I guess there's nothing more Canadian than a musical group that wins... at least three folk music awards and has a list longer than my arm of nominations, and still thinks they aren't notable. Sorry, FOUR awards. Seriously, we're screaming out the window how great Canada is lately and this group is an example of that. And the at least FIVE RS covering them. Oaktree b (talk) 01:30, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Their music was used by the UN as an example of indigenous representation [3] to highlight what can be done... Oaktree b (talk) 01:34, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  @Oaktree b Well it's not so much we think this as the band members don't want there to be an article. Are they notable enough to override that, you think? PARAKANYAA (talk) 02:12, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  A four-time folk award winner implies notability, there's a ton of coverage in RS. Indigenous-Canadian representation is sadly lacking in Wikipedia, so this helps combat bias as well. Oaktree b (talk) 03:04, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I'd say this passes WP:NMG with flying colours. There's an abundance of media coverage on the band, including from the CBC which has run multiple articles on them, and Saltwire. They have won multiple awards, and apparently they've also had some charted singles although I can't find the evidence for that part. Maybe someone else knows where to find chart data; if it's confirmed that they've held charted singles, I'd say that puts it in the bag for retaining the article. Kylemahar902 (talk) 11:36, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: passes wp:NMG easily Cactus🌵 ^{spiky ouch} 12:38, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Ultimately the question of whether a band gets into Wikipedia or not isn't their own personal decision to make, it's our notability criteria's decision to make — and while there are certainly edge cases where the notability claim and its sourceability are weak enough that we could take the subject's personal wishes into account, this isn't one of them.
  The Canadian Folk Music Awards are a clear pass of WP:NMUSIC #8, and the Native American Music Association Awards could potentially satisfy NMUSIC #8 as well (though I'll grant that they don't have an article yet by which I could tell whether they would or not); they have a substantial amount of GNG-worthy coverage that clearly passes NMUSIC #1 (which basically amounts to "passes GNG on their coverage"); they created the theme song for an important international event, passing NMUSIC #10; and they did get quite a bit of radio airplay a few years ago with a lovely indigenized cover of "Grace, Too" (I can't verify any specific chart positions for it anywhere either, but it would satisfy NMUSIC #11 regardless as it did get played on CBC Music.)
  So I'm not too clear on what the non-notability argument would be here, because they absolutely pass our notability criteria — however, I note that the article has had content removed from it in the past year, both by anonymous IPs (who were almost certainly Chelsea) deeming some information as incorrect or irrelevant, and by established editors toning down advertorialism. So this is likely not so much "we really don't think we're notable enough for an article at all", and more "we want editorial control of it ourselves, and want it to not exist at all if we can't have that", but that latter isn't how things work around here.
  And also, yes, we have a tremendous problem on here with systemic underrepresentation of indigenous personalities and topics — so I absolutely fail to see how deleting a genuinely notable and accomplished indigenous band would help us with that. Bearcat (talk) 15:15, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep for the obvious reasons listed by everyone above, and perhaps ask Chelsea Jodoin why she wants her own successful band to be erased from Wikipedia. Whatever bugs her could be fixed during normal editing. I recall one other band where this has happened: The Red Paintings, an easily notable band in which the singer, then someone claiming to represent him, requested deletion with an argument about his privacy. See some bizarre discussions at that band's talk page. Someone with those concerns should consider the value of a WP article. I was not previously familiar with the music of Twin Flames, and now I might be interested in checking it out because of this article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:34, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: The band is active in trying to promote inclusion and understanding [4], I don't get what erasing their article on Wikipedia would accomplish. I suppose they can't control the message here as they can on their own website, but they appear to be doing good work. Oaktree b (talk) 05:51, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone post what exactly the VTRS request says? Since it was changed from OTRS, it seems to be locked away so we can't see what they show... I've tried asking for access a few times and was turned down. Oaktree b (talk) 05:52, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Sevendust. The nominator is correct that he has achieved no personal notability outside the band. The article attempts to beef things up with a basic band history and minor trivia about his height and number of tattoos. I'm taller than him and have more tattoos, but that doesn't get me a WP article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:41, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. It should be noted that Vinnie's bandmate, John Connolly, also might possibly not have notability outside of Sevendust. It seems inconsistent to remove Vinnie's page but keep John's; otherwise, having pages for all five core members seems to be the most logical and uniform decision - especially since Sevendust is decently well-known in the metal/rock genres, at least, on a consistent 25+ year scale. I suppose I'd support redirecting Vinnie's page only if John's got redirected as well (for context, the other 3 members Lajon & Clint & Morgan, have all made numerous appearances outside of Sevendust unlike John & Vinnie). Xanarki (talk) 01:45, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The solution there is to subject Connolly's article to this same process and see where the community discussion goes. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:37, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect as suggested; we have frequently done this in the past couple of years, and if it's not a consensus then it should be. Only one reliable source is currently in the article, not enough for a BLP. Bearian (talk) 00:03, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Article created more than a decade ago, when inclusion criteria were almost non-existent, by a couple of kamikaze accounts. Searching for significant, third-party sources that could support the subject's notability turns up a desert portrait. To wit: Self-generated content, on Facebook, such as this or this, and as websites, e.g. this, multiple times; a few dead links, e.g. here or here; and so on. Only one legitimate hit, albeit obscure and small, was this 1990 review of one of their LPs. An admirable attempt perhaps, that lived a rather long life too, to make the act better known but Wikipedia is not a directory of musical acts nor a collection of random information. -The Gnome (talk) 12:04, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• On the contrary: I had written User:Uncle G/On notability the year before this article was created, and even that was preceded by a whole debate on how inclusion criteria should work. The thing that we didn't have in 2007 that we have now is the much stronger AFC and Draft processes (although AFC existed from 2005) and the push back no-indication-of-notability tools at New Pages patrol for people, musical groups, and companies. Uncle G (talk) 13:19, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for bringing the essay to my attention. Going by AfD history and the facts, I have to say that your suggestions did not take much hold, unfortunately. Let's hope for a better-than-never denouement. Take care. -The Gnome (talk) 18:57, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Article about a film score composer, not properly sourced as having any strong claim to passing WP:MUSICIAN. As always, composers are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because their work exists, and have to be shown to pass certain specific inclusion criteria (e.g. notable award wins or nominations, etc.) supported by WP:GNG-worthy reliable source coverage about them and their work -- but the fact that his work exists is the only notability claim on offer here, and the article is referenced to one directory entry that isn't support for notability at all and two very short puff blurbs from a decade ago that aren't substantive enough to get him over GNG all by themselves if they're all he's got for third-party coverage.

Non-notable band that has been repeatedly recreated. It was deleted in 2006, editor submitted through AfC and it was declined, so they went ahead and submitted into article space anyways. Also previously created by the same editor under a different title case with lower case for the second word. Hometown anthem

There are many coverage, but shallow in depth and in a passing just enough to verify factual claims. See below for history of attempt to repeatedly create this non-notable band.

• under the title Hometown Anthem

It was declined by AfC reviewers on August 14, and October 5, 2022, so editor went ahead and submitted directly to article space in May 2023.

• Delete Not helped by the article being a massive REFBOMB, it seems there is no real evidence of notability cited and I can't find anything further. They are featured on the album Punk The Clock, but this allmusic staff review does not even mention them or their song. This is a sigcov review, [6], but the byline is just "Tom" so potentially user generated or a blog at best.

I do not understand why you are suggesting the article to be considered for deletion, when it does exactly what any other artist page does on Wikipedia (lists accomplishments on their resume).

best,

Non notable actor. Lots of small parts but no significant roles in notable productions. (Significance of parts is puffed up in the article, "significant" part in Lotus Eaters (film)? No) Lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. Lots of interviews where he talks about himself but not much else.

He plays young Daniel Molloy in interview with the vampire which is a significant role within the show and will likely be expanded upon as the series continues. Interview with the vampire doesn't have that many episodes a season but he's had a starring role in two of them so far. Including the episode that was tipped for EMMY nomination

Fails all ramifications of WP:COMPOSER or WP:NMUSICIAN. The nominations are not exclusive and so do not inherently confer both guidelines I just mentioned.

Citation 1 from marginally reliable Vanguard with no substantial coverage.

Citation 2 from the same marginally reliable source is utterly unreliable as it lacks a byline and does not provide any useful information.

Citation 3 lacks a byline and is only 104 words, no substantial coverage.

Citation 4 does not only lack a byline, it is definitely a sponsored piece.

Citations 5, 6, and 14 are the usual nomination lists.

  1. "Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart". | "the highest new entry this week on Top Albums at #4. BILLION DOLLAR DREAM by Jeriq is the biggest winner, moving up by 57 slots to #21."[12][13]

  The Subject's notoriety can be supported by [14], from a notable magazine with a byline, and is named in some Wikipedia articles including Igbo music where he is referenced as one of the "Notable Igbo musicians."

  2. "Has won or been nominated for a major music award". The Headies being a major music award in Nigeria and Africa has nominated the subject twice, as the links to the nominations has tried to prove.

• You did a good job, ResonantDistortion, but sorry, it doesn't add a pinch of salt of WP:GNG for the subject. Firstly, for the charting, NMUSICIAN says that "Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart" (emphasis mine). Not only is the Billboard chart entry being not a single, ("Oganigwe" by Zlatan featuring Odumodublvck and Jeriq), Billboard is not Nigerian's national music chart. Plus, if the song charted No. 47 on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs, it didn't really chart to confer notability on who was featured, nope, it didn't. This Afrobeats Fresh Picks also has the same issue, provides nothing to establish the mentioned notability on Jeriq.

I also cannot comprehend why you do not find the way this article was created deceptively concerning, This, then how it was moved to the supposedly correct title.

Again, "Nyem Ego" is another feature. Below is my analysis of the sources you added so far. This, coupled with my above analysis makes it evident that Jeriq is not yet a notable musician.

That it's not a Nigerian chart is not relevant, and neither is the fact it's a collaboration. Jeriq, evidently a major contributor to the piece of music, still has featured in the top 50 of a reliable chart aggregator, contributing to WP:MUSICBIO#2. He has been nominated, as a solo artist, twice for a notable national award which is WP:VERIFIED, and contributes to WP:MUSICBIO#8. At least two collaborative works with different artists have achieved non-trivial critical "best of" selections in independent sources, contributing to WP:MUSICBIO#1. The article in TurnTableCharts magazine (a website listed as a WP-reliable Nigerian source) is not only a curated interview but includes notability-supporting journalistic bylined non-trivial biographical information contributing to WP:MUSICBIO#1 (per WP:INTERVIEW). The nature of the page creation is irrelevant to the notability of the subject; for the record I have updated the article to try and improve it. Overall, the evidence points to the subject meeting the relevant notability guideline, and therefore I maintain my position to keep. ResonantDis_tortion 16:56, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep. The subject's debut album, Billion Dollar Dream, was critically reviewed by Afrocritik and The Native. He has received two nominations at The Headies. As previously pointed out, he charted on a Billboard chart as a guest act. These three reasons should be good enough for a weak keep. When I previously nominated the article, I didn't see reviews of his debut album in reliable sources. I also didn't see his nominations at The Headies. Perhaps I could have done a more in-depth search but preliminary search results didn't show reliable coverage at the time. The article contains a few promotional wording and definitely needs to be cleaned up.  Versace1608  ^{Wanna Talk?} 17:39, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Confused. This person is clearly a big celebrity, but she doesn't have a lot of coverage in mainstream media, leading me to wonder why she's gotten so little coverage, at least from what I see on Googling, from them compared to what's in the article. Has there been a blacklist? Is she just famous for being famous? What's going on? I'm genuinely interested in an answer, so please ping me. Bearian (talk) 03:31, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - no answer from anyone else forthcoming, I'm going with "yes, the subject is famous, but not notable." Bearian (talk) 10:23, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: there are multiple claims to notability. She did more recently receive press from her marriage with Antonio Sabàto Jr, but she meets WP:SINGER for creating the Hawaiian Tropicè theme song, singing the Star Spangled Banner for various notable events, etc., WP:ENT for TV work such as Starz...

WP:SINGER says "regardless of what notability criterion is being claimed, the claim must be properly verified by reliable sources independent of the subject's own self-published promotional materials". Before listing this article, I looked but I couldn't find any reliable sources that predated her marriage to Sabàto.

If you are aware of any reliable sources that establish her notability as a singer (or anything else), please add them to the article. Without the existence of such sources, notability can't be proven and the article should be deleted. Martey (talk) 20:10, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. I don't agree that "this person is clearly a big celebrity" or even that she is "famous". Her IMDb page has only 4 news items (see https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0547234/news/ ), all of which were to report her marriage to Antonio Sabato Jr. I wouldn't consider Sabato that big a star, but IMDb has 223 news items about him. And to compare that to someone who is clearly a superstar, IMDb has over 40,000 news items about Taylor Swift. Judging from the sources in this article, it appears that to the extent that Nunes receives any media coverage at all, it is WP:INHERITED from her relationship with Sabato, as all of the cited sources other than her own web site include Sabato's name in the headline. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:21, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
