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.

Although the article includes some secondary sources, the content does not demonstrate sufficient encyclopedic notability, as it merely confirms the existence of the DJ duo without providing substantial information. Therefore, I am initiating this deletion discussion. CarlosEduardoPA (talk) 19:55, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Carlos, you added a not to the article to delete it, but it has been published for months and approved on the english side when it says you are an editor mainly for the Spanish wiki. The sources are from big newspapers and the artists are in line to others that have articles on the site. The writing and info is also relevant and they are on wikidata. San.alonso.r (talk) 20:12, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @San.alonso.r, how are you? First of all, thank you for notifying me on eswiki and for letting me know about your response here. I initiated this AfD for the reasons outlined in my initial message: from my perspective, the article in its current state does not clearly demonstrate encyclopedic notability, as it mainly points out the existence of the DJ duo. While it does include valid bibliographic references —as I mentioned in my first comment— I believe the writing does not effectively convey the level of notability being claimed. Of course, this is just my opinion, and that’s precisely why we open discussions like this —to hear the community’s views. In any case, I encourage you to continue improving and expanding the article so that its content more clearly reflects the notability you’re referring to. In fact, that was also the reason I added the 30-day template on eswiki. All the best. CarlosEduardoPA (talk) 20:23, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The deletion rationale appears to indicate that there are secondary sources referenced, but implies the article needs work. That is not a justifiable reason for deletion, and with a quick check identifying the article subject has coverage in secondary sources such as [1], [2], [3], and [4], I propose a keep per WP:MUSICBIO#1.

Previous AfD closed as no consensus two years ago, but looking back at it I really think it was close to deletion and deserves to be relitigated. On top of the lack of sourcing at the time, additional sources presented in that discussion were rejected for either being about a different person or being poorly written and possibly sponsored/otherwise biased to a degree that it shouldn't be usable. There has been no substantial expansion of the article since (in fact, it has actually gotten marginally smaller, though not in any ways that particularly matter), and its notability status doesn't appear to have changed in the slightest. I support either deletion or redirecting to Alanis Morissette#Relationships with {{r from spouse}}, whichever is preferred, but either way I don't think this article should remain.

Chris Taylor (Christian rock musician)

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

Chris Taylor's individual notability boils down to winning a soap jingle contest (of which I can't find any evidence online) and being nominated for a minor music award. This falls well short of the criteria at WP:NSINGER.

Merge to Love Coma. On second thought, 100% agreed with LWG. just as Amakuru stated, the award is plausible that he is notable. Needs more references, though. As of now it seems like his relevance is contingent on Love Coma.--Burroughs'10 (talk) 16:56, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Love Coma. The references in this article could be used to add a note to Love Coma that Chris Taylor went on to a solo career, and a link to Chris's website in Love Coma's external links would cover the rest of the information in this article. -- LWG ^talk 16:59, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of independant notability. Most refs are about Alan Vega. TheLongTone (talk) 13:36, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Bands and musicians, Women, and New York. Shellwood (talk) 14:00, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. - Liz Lamere was and is a major creator of music over the past twenty years as well as a key producer of her own work as well as Alan Vega's work. She has been a part of and mentor in a critical movement in music since the mid-1980s. Laurakdcwiki (talk) 14:37, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
And we have no sources that talk about her beyond brief mentions, your statement is not supported by the sources. Oaktree b (talk) 00:45, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep — Liz Lamere clearly meets Wikipedia’s notability standards as a musician, producer, and author with significant, sustained coverage in multiple independent and reliable sources, including Rolling Stone, The New York Times, Pitchfork, and Magnet Magazine. Her career spans over three decades, during which she co-produced three posthumous Alan Vega albums — It, Mutator, and Insurrection — all covered in major media outlets. Lamere has released two solo albums on In The Red Records and co-authored Infinite Dreams: The Life of Alan Vega, a professionally published biography featuring a foreword by Bruce Springsteen. Her work has received independent attention beyond her association with Vega, and the article is supported by 17 citations from high-quality sources. This is clearly more than trivial or incidental notability. Cannery Row (talk) 14:58, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@TheLongTone Why do you say "the third, also a new editor, is the page creator"? The page was created by Cannery Row (talk · contribs), who has been creating and editing music articles since 2010. PamD 08:27, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, maybe you're assuming that a red-linked editor is always new. No, some just prefer to keep a low profile. PamD 08:29, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Sources 2 and 4 are interviews with Liz, the rest are about her spouse. None of these are extensive coverage, most only mention her in passing. None of these are helpful. I don't see coverage about this person either. Oaktree b (talk) 00:43, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Much of the cited coverage is indeed in the context of Alan Vega, however this reliable source is very clear that Lamere was not simply his spouse, but rather "his frequent collaborator" so provided creative input in her own right. Another example in Pitchfork magazine where the subject clearly has co-recording credit on Mutator. The subject has released two solo albums which have received coverage in independent sources, such as Gale A810819644. Furthermore the book she co-authored has received reliable critical attention, for example [5]. Multiple sources with non-trivial coverage of the subject and her works; enough in my view for a WP:BASIC/WP:MUSICBIO pass. ResonantDis_tortion 08:36, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Plenty of sourcing about her albums and book. An article like this (ref 17 at the moment) is about her and her album, not him, even though he gets a mention in the title ("Liz Lamere Alan Vega's Longtime Collaborator Announces Debut Album"). PamD 08:36, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

comment These so-called reliable sources lok pretty niche to me.TheLongTone (talk) 13:32, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Some of the sources may be debatable/unassessed; but Record Collector, BrooklynVegan, and Pitchfork (magazine) are all listed reliable at WP:RSMUSIC. And certainly the Library Journal appears to meet RS criteria. ResonantDis_tortion 16:58, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: — Liz Lamere meets notability criteria based on her own professional achievements. She has released two solo albums on the respected label *In The Red Records*, both of which received independent press coverage. In 2024, she co-authored a professionally published biography, *Infinite Dreams: The Life of Alan Vega*, which received critical attention and a foreword by Bruce Springsteen. Her solo work and authorship have been covered in major media outlets including *Rolling Stone*, and she was personally interviewed by *The New York Times* in both 2017 and 2023. This establishes significant independent coverage beyond her association with Alan Vega. Additionally, her three-decade collaboration with Vega — during which she performed most of the electronic instrumentation on his albums, co-wrote songs, co-produced, toured extensively, and managed his career — is itself notable and should not be dismissed simply because many articles focus on Vega. Her creative contributions were integral to their joint work and form part of a documented career spanning more than 30 years. --99.42.1.246 (talk) 17:16, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Liz Lamere’s co-authorship of the approximately 400-page hardcover biography, Infinite Dreams: The Life of Alan Vega, constitutes a significant literary achievement that deepens historical understanding of one of underground music’s most influential figures. Professionally published and introduced by Bruce Springsteen, the book offers rare primary insight into Vega’s legacy while highlighting Lamere’s own role as a cultural documentarian and creative peer. Her position as biographer and archivist is distinct from, yet informed by, her decades of musical collaboration with Vega. The book has received critical attention in national outlets, including an interview with The New York Times, reinforcing her notability beyond association. Lamere has also performed on numerous albums throughout the 1990s and released two internationally distributed solo records in 2022 and 2024, available both digitally and on vinyl. These were supported by solo tours in the U.S. and Europe, along with media appearances on radio and podcasts focused on her original work. Lamere’s combined contributions as a musician, author, and public voice underscore her notability, as does her enduring influence as a role model for emerging women artists in music. --2A0D:E487:118F:661A:3939:96C1:D3D6:1590 (talk) 19:26, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This article seems to be a classic WP:BLP1E; this individual received a burst of viral notability over a couple days in June 2024 for the bell-ringing video. I can't find any independent coverage since that burst of coverage; the only coverage I can find at all is an article from Duke, which is a non-independent source since the subject is an employee of the university chapel. Given that all three provisions of BLP1E are met (the reliable sources cover the person only in relation to a single event, the event itself is non-notable, and the subject remains a low-profile individual), this subject fails WP:NBIO and WP:GNG.

Article about a band, not properly sourced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. As always, bands are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they existed, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG on reliable source coverage about them and their music -- but this is completely unreferenced, the only attempts at "referencing" that have ever previously been in the article at all are primary sources (like their own website, YouTube and Spotify) which aren't support for notability, and the article claims absolutely nothing about them that would be "inherently" notable enough to exempt them from having to pass GNG.

del no independent coverage. --Altenmann >talk 20:47, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: This one was close, I found this and that but I don't think these are enough for GNG and there is nothing to show a pass for NMUSIC. Moritoriko (talk) 04:53, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Refbombed promotion for non notable musician. Lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. Has drummed with a lot of projects but lacks independent notability. duffbeerforme (talk) 03:11, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There is sufficient significant coverage that satisfies GNG requirements to show the subject's notability as a musician. CresiaBilli (talk) 06:29, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
WP:VAGUEWAVE, WP:SOURCESEXIST. You have not identified any actual coverage. One of multiple throw away boilerplate !votes recently from this individual. duffbeerforme (talk) 10:15, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: so far, i don't see the significant coverage in indepentent sources to pass gng, at least with what is currently cited in the article. Tschuggnall seems to have co-written a textbook; finding a lot of websites to buy it online, but no in-depth coverage about him. I'll try to find more sources the next days. Nyamo Kurosawa (talk) 21:12, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - total lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. Facebook, his own website, blogs, and sources about other people don't contribute to notability. Bearian (talk) 16:30, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: wasn't able to find independent wp:sigcov of him; almost every piece of online coverage is either passing mentions or not independent. I couldn't assess this paywalled source. Nyamo Kurosawa (talk) 12:55, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to fail WP:GNG and WP:NBAND. Did a search per WP:BEFORE and found nothing relevant in news nor books. Google only pops up music host sites. The only sources I found with specific coverage was [6] which reads like an advertisement and [7] which looks like it raises WP:UGC issues. The article is also entirely unsourced and the external links are either dead or were taken over. 🪷 nahida 00:02, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Was able to find some local coverage on the band, here and here. The band still seems to be active; most of the coverage seems trivial, however, and I'm not sure if it passes WP:NM. They did win a prize from the Argentine Film Critics Association for a movie's soundtrack they made. Coeusin (talk) 01:43, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I could not find any evidence that this is a notable musician, seems to be a self-published artist who hasn't received significant attention from reliable sources so far. Fram (talk) 13:41, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That is not true if you search and read about Alucidnation which is his Allias, you will find alot of refernces and articles about him. he has also appeared on the Grand Theft Auto IV game sound track. i have seen many articles on Wikipedia about music producers who hardly have any credbility compared to this producer. please do your research. i also have added more links to this producer. Manunited20 (talk) 13:56, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I recommend you identify better sources and add them to the article to demonstrate the subject meets WP:MUSICBIO notability criteria. As a general rule at least WP:THREE are recommended. To assist - I have identified two EP reviews from a reliable source (Muzik): 2001 and 2003. There is also an Irish Times album review on ProQuest 309867414. ~~I !vote Draftify as there is potential here.~~ ResonantDis_tortion 15:39, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for assisting, i have added the sources on the discography of the artist. if you can identify more reliable sources and help edit the page in any way, that would be appreciated. Manunited20 (talk) 04:29, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The release blurbs in Muzik help towards establishing notability, but a lot of the current references do not. If notable, no need to put into draft purgatory, just add more sources in reliable publications if they exist.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 14:27, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I Have just added a reliable newspaper source i found in archives and few magazine sources in which his track was also featured in a movie. please check recent edits. there is more about the aritst in mucial archives. it just needs more research.Manunited20 (talk) 13:54, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - as I've written in countless AfDs, producers are not only not automatically notable, but are run of the mill. We are not MySpace. Bearian (talk) 19:33, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: you are talking nonsense.That means we should remove every Record producers page on wikipedia. The producer has multiple reliable sources now. The page needs more work but should remain on wikipedia.Manunited20 (talk) 1:27, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

Please read WP:NPA. The new sources appear to be passing mentions and listings. If there is nothing further available, beyond what I identified above, then I update my !vote to Delete. ResonantDis_tortion 09:08, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
