Is an ensemble that contains two or more independently notable musicians, or is a musician who has been a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles.Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable).Has received non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country.

#Notability online verification#
Thus, notability is not determined by what the article says, it is determined by how well the article does or does not support the things it says by referencing them to independent verification in reliable sources. It is extremely common for aspiring musicians who want a Wikipedia article for the publicity to make inflated or false notability claims, such as charting hits that did not really chart (or which charted only on a non-notable WP:BADCHART) or nominations for awards that are not prominent enough to pass criterion number 8 (below). Note that 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. Musicians or ensembles (this category includes bands, singers, rappers, orchestras, DJs, musical theatre groups, instrumentalists, etc.) may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria. For the WikiProject on Minnesota, see WP:WPMN. See also WP:NBIO for notability guidelines for biography articles in general. It is not enough to make unsourced or poorly sourced claims in the article, or to assert a band's importance on a talk page or AfD page – the article itself must document notability through the use of reliable sources, and no criterion listed in this page confers an exemption from having to reliably source the article just because passage of the criterion has been claimed. To meet Wikipedia's standards for verifiability and notability, the article in question must actually document that the criterion is true.
Rather, these are rules of thumb used by some editors when deciding whether or not to keep an article that is listed at articles for deletion. Please note that the failure to meet any of these criteria does not mean an article must be deleted conversely, meeting any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept. Many who spend significant time improving Wikipedia's musical coverage feel that notability is required for a musical topic (such as a band or musical theatre group) to deserve an encyclopedia article.
#Notability online full#
A mere claim of significance, even if contested, may avoid speedy deletion under A7, requiring a full proposed deletion or articles for deletion process to determine if the article should be included in Wikipedia. However, an article on an artist or band that does not indicate that the subject of the article is important or significant can be speedily deleted under criterion A7. Failing to satisfy the notability guidelines is not a criterion for speedy deletion. This page provides a guideline for editors in applying the concept of notability to topics related to music, including artists, bands, albums, and songs.
