Sometimes it is, but not automatically. When AllMusic was primarily a print publication it had tight criteria for inclusion. Not so much these days, evolving since it began partnering with Rovi/TiVo database for its content. While the site continues to have independent editorial oversight, their standards have dipped to list bands whose only criteria is that they have produced a product(s) that is offered for retail distribution. A band can be listed that otherwise does not meet a single qualification per WP:MUSIC. AllMusic entries as a reference need to be assessed on a case by case basis.

Comment If the article makes the claim that work by an artist is in the collection of a national museum, and there are issues with verifying that claim, I would suggest a failed verification template and a discussion with the editor who made the claim, instead of an AfD nomination. But, like I said at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brigid Hanrahan, I am concerned about the lack of critical reception. Even for artist who technically meet some of the secondary notability criteria of
WP:ARTIST, for example being represented in a collection, we still need someone else to write something we can base an article on. I would really like to see some in-depth reviews from reliable, independent sources, and artshub is not an independent source.

a) Nope. b) No evidence of being a substantial part of a significant exhibition. c) Nope. d)No evidence of being represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums. NGA holding alone does not meet criteria. (more info on the Home Sweet Home NGA collection found

Keepand develop or draftily. This is an example of an "outsider" artist - they are generally self taught, have what some consider "naive" aesthetics. Outsider artists operate outside of the "normal" power dynamics and systems of the commercial art market, the gallery and museum system. For more info on Outsider Art see
here. Their outsider status does not diminish their importance, nor creativity, but does make them difficult to receive recognition. It takes time to research these types of individuals. I've done a bit of scoping around and there are other sources/references on this artist. To my mind, what is problematic is the way the article is written - it needs improvement and structure. I vote to keep it for now.

Searches are literally not finding anything better than either PR, interviews (regardless of wherever published) or his own authored articles and websites, none of that establishes notability itself and it's clear this currently only exists as a PR business listing; the NYT, naturally as shown, are his own authored articles as part a column, therefore that inherits him no automatic notability whatsoever and it's clear the history itself it's quite likely either the subject himself or someone involved started this PR article. While the author asked for restoration, and attempts are open to being made, there's enough to suggest an AfD is necessary to gauge the concerns and chances here. FWIW,
this is what the author offered as sourcing but examining them still finds only announcements, business listings, quotes, etc.

First nominated over 2 months ago by
Light2021 and recently PRODed by
DGG and the mistake with the first AfD was that no one actually cared to notice the sources themselves were listed as "paid advertising by the company" or "Information supplied by the company", instantly making the sources unsuitable for our policies since they're not independent, regardless of whatever or whoever, and even examining the sources that were offered at the 1st AfD find this exactly. Even WP:CORPDEPTH itself states: "Sources must not be trivial about its company activities, finances or other triviality or be published in similar sources" and that fits here, and that's even a guideline, it becomes thicker when we apply WP:NOT which then itself states "Wikipedia is not a business webhost for simple company information, activities and other contents". We cannot be misused to blatantly host such companies for their own gains simply because their PR was republished. FWIW, my own searches still found nothing but: Company financials published and republished by the company itself, company interviews, company listings, company mentions and other triviality. Hence, we never actually had substance, and it's worse when we know for a fact, and our recent AfDs show it, that these publications willingly and heavily republish the company PR at their own will. Note that one of the comments in the 1st AfD was from a now-banned advertising account, so that's something else to consider in how this article is used. Now, the other thing to consider is the fact this was nominated in October with the suggestions of "Keep and improve" yet no improvements were made, a common sign in our policies that it can't be improved hence our policies support deletion. Note, also carefully examining the history shows that over half-doze India-based accounts and IPs have started contributing, including adding its own company materials, a common sign enough.

I am basing my !vote solely on repeated coverage in national newspapers as listed in the first AfD, and if such coverage is now deemed to be merely "press releases or self-published ... republishing the company's PR", are we singling out the national press of India as incapable of editorial control, or are we now denying the relevance for notability of any coverage of commercial firms in any national newspaper anywhere? If national newspapers no longer count as independent reliable sources when assessing notability, I think we should all be told

Delete per
WP:TOOSOON &
WP:PROMO. For example, the article states that the company "claims to have served meals to 383,921 train passengers". The fact that the article replicates company claims suggests that it's both too soon for the subject to have an article and that the article existence serves to promote the business: i.e. there's no independent info on it, and this material can equally be housed on the company web site.

promotional tones -
robvanmieghem,
alexpimania, and Exemplo347User:pmknutsen may not be employees of the company, but the fact that they know so much about each other and what they are collaborating on seems to point towards an apparent
conflict of interest in their editing of the article. Not only does this organization not appear to fulfill notability guidelines, but the manner in which the article has been created (and the content itself) provide no substance or positive contribution to the encyclopedia. These editors can argue all they want that Sia deserves an article (the burden of proof is on them, and I haven't found considerable proof of notability on my own) - but something they cannot defend is the fact that they present a conflict of interest and should not be involved in the creation of this article - their comments (multiple from each) show that they are personally vested somehow in this article creation.

Delete (was No vote yet but leaning delete). We have another actor-won-an-award-but-sources-are-crap porn bio. While previous AfD debates for Grabby Award winners have resulted in keeps, there is absolutely zero reliably-sourced information in this article. Trivial mentions found in the porn trade press. 100% GNG and WP:BASIC fail. PORNBIO claim is tenuous. Deleting this without prejudice against creating an article for the Colorado State Rep. by the same name sounds reasonable to me.

Delete. Gene93k's sourcing analysis is impeccable. I would add that the Grabby Award is not an industry award, as required by PORNBIO. It is given out by a local giveaway magazine in Chicago (which is pretty big as local goes, but still local). The magazine is marginally notable at best. (The award was originated by a different local magazine, which has stopped covering porn). Both of the awarding magazines were general interest/entertainment magazines aimed at the LGBT community, not porn industry publications. The limitation of PORNBIO to industry awards came in 2012, one of the outcomes of several months of discussion which tightened up PORNBIO substantially. So far as I can tell, all the !keep AFDs turning on the Grabby Award came under the older, less restrictive version of PORNBIO.

The result was Keep. While there is a case for deleting this article under
WP:BIODEL this applies to relatively unknown, non-public figures. What is a non-public figure (and why would Wikipedia have an article about them anyway?) Our guide is the essay at
Wikipedia:Who is a low-profile individual which suggests several helpful criteria, all of which indicate that this is a high profile person. They have given interviews to major news outlets, sought publicity for their books, they hold a position of influence in research. They do not meet the general definition of a low-profile individual: A low-profile individual is someone who has been covered in reliable sources without seeking such attention, often as part of their connection with a single event. While I'm sympathetic to the right to disappear I think this person has put their head too far above the parapet to maintain that right. As to the claims of libel, the one-line reference to a controversy is reasonably sourced and the source (rather than Wikipedia) is probably the better target for any action.

keep Oh, dear. In this privacy-deprived age my sympathies are entirely with Henry Gee. We used to have the right to lead private lives. The problem is that Gee doesn't lead such a life, at least not professionally. He has published widely reviewed books. Holding the job of senior Editor of
Nature (journal) is notable by definition, even though the post has been a lightening rod for controversy since Darwin v. Huxley. Unfortunately, because he is a senior editor he has been at the center of controversy, unpleasant controversy not related to misbehavior on his part, but simply because of the status he holds. I wish that we could in good conscious comply with his request, or that by taking him off Wikipedia we could give him back his privacy. It's a pity, but there it is.

That the matches are tier 1, can be confirmed on FIFA's website. If you check out Timor

We have, in order, a random guy's personal blog, a "guest announcement" for a very minor con, a random listing of his name and birthdate, a Facebook post, another page that lists nothing but the barest minimum of his personal information, his Tumblr page, an official D&D page that mentions him exactly one time and says nothing except "this is a picture he drew", and a random group of trivia questions in which his name happens to appear once.

Look, if you want to actually engage in conversation, register. But, to humor you, this is actually a pretty good indicator of pre-Internet notability for a game artist. The facebook post is about him, not by him, and made by the premier convention targeted at gamers who played during the era his art was published. None of this is "challenged or likely to be challenged" so publication in the New York Times or other higher circulation media is not required. And since he already has two independent, reliable sources, none of these actually have to be reliable for the GNG to be met with respect to this artist.

Saying you are humoring an IP doesn't make their point any less valid, and shouldn't be used to imply they are not engaging in conversation.

I hope this addresses the question of notability, and hope that further work by editors will strengthen this article even more.

While some of the 3rd-party commentary you eliminated was from blogs, you have also excised third-party reviewers writing for various industry publications that spoke directly to the quality of his artwork: Jim Bambra, White Dwarf; Elisabeth Barrington, Space Gamer; Keith Baker, Dungeon magazine. These are good secondary sources, I am not sure what the rationale for elimination has been. Even so, I believe notability as TSR's staff cartographer has been established.

Dungeon Magazine is not independent. This ranking was just as much the company promoting its own products to foster customer engagement as it was commentary on the adventures themselves. The Space Gamer review was of one module, and described his work as "on par with other art from TSR". That seems pretty thin, to me, and it points to a deeper problem. The article for
Space Gamer has no reliable independent sources, so we're providing the reader with no way to assess how significant or reliable this mention in a review is. Exactly the same as with
White Dwarf (magazine), although the mention is more substantial. Most of these gaming article present knowledge that the subjects are important, but we cannot take that on faith. This enthusiasm gamers have for sharing lore is commendable, but when its handled like this it's alienating to people who aren't already involved in the culture, and frustrating to people who want a straightforward overview of a topic, which is the whole point of Wikipedia.

Another citation - for "Radio Mantra Supersinger Contest 2016". Inext (in Hindi). Gorakhpur. 11 June 2009.") is plain illogical - a 2016 contest reported in 2009.
I am concerned about the validity of all of the citations, most of which apparently existed in 2009 and the remainder of which seem not to be in English or online, other than one on YouTube. That they are neither is not a bar but given the past history of this article I am concerned about its recreation.

Firstly, King is surely not notable enough to warrant a wikipedia biography. Her written work is neither significant nor prolific - there are countless academics and indeed students, who have published more opinion pieces/blog articles etc., most of whom also don't warrant a wiki biography. Additionally, she appears to have stopped publishing - her blog is inactive, her twitter is private and she hasn't published academic work or opinion-pieces for some years. She doesn't appear to be working as an archaeologist (or in a relevant/linked field).
Secondly, what there is of her biography reads more like a fluffed up promotional piece. There is absolutely no actual information on her career such as where and when she did her PhD, where she has been employed, what sites she has excavated or worked on - or indeed anything (again) to justify her biography. There is also no relevant or interesting personal information - nothing on childhood, significant relationships, family, achievements - in short, once again, no detail that would support her being significant enough for a wiki bio. — Preceding

The Daily Telegraph profile article from 2003. And several reviews of her book in major media. As many of the sources say, she is unusual and controversial.

She has evidently not become archaeology's Nigella Lawson or Simon Schama, has only written one book (ten years ago), and as far as I can tell hasn't otherwise worked in archaeology since; so in retrospect can we really consider these puff "profiles" reliable? –

Her book however
The Elgin Marbles (book), was widely reviewed across the Anglosphere, excoriated in the Greek press, and can certainly support a stand-alone article. We cannot, however, merge to the book because there are profiles of her and long interviews with her in major newspapers, at least one of which, Smith, David (16 November 2003). "Miss Indiana Jones digs up a whole new take on history".
The Observer, dates years before the book was announced and is about a controversy involving the archaeological site of the

Keep Understandably, the notability rules on English football teams require that a team has at least at some point played in top ten divisions of the pyramid or in the
FA Cup. However, despite Palmers FC not having done so they are by far a much more well renowned team than many at the lower reaches of the
English football league system, despite being a Sunday league outfit. 150,000 subscribers on Smiv's Youtube channel is surely notable enough to justify a page for the club alone, with these thousands regularly following the side's results and matches. If they cannot be classed as notable enough based on footballing terms they should at least be considered notable enough under overall Wikipedia requirements for notability. — Preceding

Comment I would like to point out the BBC source is more substantual than claimed, just going to give it here;
BBC Source
Hashtag are not the only side to have built a YouTube following. Others such as Sidemen and Palmers FC also exist in the online world having arrived there via varying routes.
While Hashtag provide a well-polished production, for Palmers the football came first and the YouTube videos followed.
The Thurrock-based friends played together as youngsters and decided to reform as a Sunday league team three years ago. In Matt Smith, or Smiv, they already had a YouTuber in their ranks.
"It was all about having a bit of a reunion every Sunday," explained Smith. "We don't see each other much now as we've all got jobs and commitments, so that's pretty much our time together as mates.
"The first season we didn't film, but the next season I kicked off the YouTube channel because, with the amount of stuff that happened in that original season, I wished we had got it on camera.
"In our first game filming we scored from a corner, so I thought 'we've got a good series going on here'. It wasn't until about half a year in when people started cottoning on to it and sharing it. There was a big fight on the pitch and it went viral. Ever since then it's gained traction."
Smith, a video producer by trade, turned his YouTube channel into a full-time job last year and Palmers' games - recorded from the halfway line on one of his old cameras - rack up hundreds of thousands of hits.
"It's nitty gritty, it's wet and muddy - we don't really care about the look of it, it's capturing as much as possible, really," he added. "I think that's why it works, because it's so simple.
"Sometimes the view's not great, sometimes people get in the way, you miss a goal or the battery runs out. There's no script to it either, we plonk the camera down and whatever happens, happens."
This isn't a ballot, this is a discussion to determine consensus. A side mention in one BBC article is not enough to establish notability.

Of those two, one is to the journal's homepage at SUNY Binghamton and the other is to LibraryThing, a booklover's wiki. The remaining sources are all about academics that have apparently contributed reviews of other works to the e-journal. Wider searches finds numbers of social media and blog sites, and a few reviews cribbed from AALF on bookseller's sites. No indication that it satisfies any of
the notability criteria for academic journals, especially since the only real coverage in Google Scholar is reviews of works by the founder that mention this e-journal in passing.

There was an article on this subject a while ago under the title "Judy Travis" but I nominated it for deletion because I did not think there was enough notability. I think the same can be said here. I think this article is a bit too promotional (see the Philanthropy section) and some of the sources are not reliable (#1, #5, #7, #16, #18, #22) and some of the sources such as #6 and #8 are just articles about a specific "viral" video. I'm just not seeing enough to warrant having an article on this person. I'm not seeing what the significance is, and I know this technically could be said about all YouTubers with Wikipedia articles, but I just think there isn't enough here.

SNOW Delete as has been CU-confirmed by a mass-advertiser involving 2-3 campaigns as it is, current article's information and sources are simply clear published and republished PR announcements.

Comment - I also nominated
Benji Travis for deletion because a lot of the sources used in this article were used on that one, and his article appears NPOV like this one does.

Delete The really should be a redirect to the parent album, but that has been delayed for at least three years now. In the meantime, two paragraphs on Pitchfork and three on Complex are about all that's available in
WP:RS, and even those are really little more than "here's a new song" with links to YouTube and SoundCloud.

"Ahora" was a Spanish-language public radio network in the US, a joint project of NPR and Radio Netherlands Worldwide. It was active in 2007 and 2008, but I have not found information on when it began and ended. It probably ended in or before 2012, when RNW ceased radio broadcasting activity. Searching on the net finds few mentions of Ahora: only on the web sites of stations that carried it.

Redirect until such a time as better sources can be found. There just doesn't seem to be much point in deleting, as it'll probably be recreated or should simply be kept to point to a discography page as the recording exists. Ss11210:03, 27 December 2016 (UTC)reply

I did some Googling and could not find many sources on this band, which is probably the reason as to why the article is under-referenced. There is another band with the same name with more coverage and notability that I plan to create an article on, and I think would better suit this article space than the Oklahoma band with not much reliable source coverage.

Delete Newly created band consisting of apparently non-notable individual members. And...I'm sorry but this is a clear
WP:IAR situation where the effective burden of proof rests largely on the article creator. No one is going to look through scores or hundreds of articles to try to assess whether a band named Shoe or And is notable.
TimothyJosephWood15:31, 4 January 2017 (UTC)reply
@
Andise1:, if the more notable band you're talking about is a Canadian one, then you should be aware that this article actually was about that band from 2009 until 2015, at which point it was hijacked and overwritten to be about the Oklahoma band instead of the original topic — followed by a revert back to the Canadian band again, and then by a second rehijacking in summer 2016. (If anybody's wondering, I learned all this by investigating why a band from Oklahoma was flagged on its talk page as belonging to WikiProject Canada.) So if that's the band you mean, then we can restore the pre-hijacking version rather than you actually having to start over from scratch (and if the one you actually have in mind is an Austrlian band of the 1970s instead, then they already have an article at
The Sports too.) That said, the old article wasn't great, and would also be potentially deletable under current
WP:NMUSIC standards if not significantly improved. Accordingly, my vote is to revert back to the Canadian band, albeit without prejudice against also renominating it for AFD in the future if the sources don't pan out update: see my reply to Andise1 below — even if the American band can be properly sourced over NMUSIC, they would have to be given a disambiguated title and would not be entitled to just overwrite an existing article about a different topic.

Mine is about a Philadelphia band. I am creating the article now and will link it here when I am finished. I didn't think about the disambiguated title before but that sounds like the best idea here.

18:36, 4 January 2017 (UTC)reply
Ah, okay. I'm switching to a straight delete on this one, then, because if your sources aren't about the Canadian band and I can't find any solid ones about them either, then what's left in the original pre-hijack article isn't good enough to restore them without improvement.

Comment - @
Bearcat:, I created an article on the other band named Sports under the title
Sports (2012 band), so if any other more notable band is suitable to have the title Sports (band) they can be moved here, assuming the current article is deleted.

I did not make a determination as to whether the subject passes
WP:NMUSIC or not. I agree a number of sources in the article are not that great, but a search of Google and High Beam produce a number of independant, reliable sources concerning the subject to pass
WP:GNG. Additionally, The Australian Recording Industry Association certified that her recording "Flip It" achieved Platinum status in 2016 which would indicate subject passes
WP:NMUSIC as well.
[44]CBS527Talk19:24, 11 January 2017 (UTC)reply
Keep easily per
WP:NMUSIC, various categories. I don't know what is the play here. The subject is required to qualify on only one criteria of NMUSIC, but qualifies on various, as listed:
NMUSIC#2: "Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart." – Devaney charted in the official ARIA charts and topped at #12.[45][46] This is of course apart from cracking the top 10 on iTunes Australian charts.[47]
NMUSIC#3: "Has had a record certified gold or higher in at least one country." – Devaney's record was certified Gold after multiple weeks on the charts.[48]
NMUSIC#12: "Has been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network." –
BBC,
ABC... there are just too many such national networks playing her on rotation; you can expect that of chart toppers.
Like I said, all NMUSIC requires is for the subject to qualify on one criterion to be kept. Here, the subject qualifies on multiple criteria. This is an investment of time of editors on a deletion discussion that should not have been done.

Keep The subject meets
WP:BLPCRIME as their charges have been documented by BBC News and The Independent; combine with the minor
WP:NMUSIC accomplishments, it means they meet our guidelines for an article. Let's hope whoever tried passing it through AfC doesn't have a conflict of interest, as they'll have now got their client documented as a kidnapper all over the internet.
Ritchie333(talk)(cont)13:55, 12 January 2017 (UTC)reply
Ok
Ritchie333. I've seen BLPCRIME applied as an exclusion criterion and not inclusion (for example, Chaz has not been convicted, therefore, per BLPCRIME, if she weren't well known, we should remove the accusations from her BLP). That's why mentioned it. No worries either way.
