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:
- 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|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.

- Piano rock (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
As previously stated, piano rock is not a genre, so this can only mean a rock song with a piano. See previous nominations, too. Please note: previous AfDs were both delete.Richhoncho (talk) 21:02, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
- Delete The article is full of unreliable sources and the reliable sources it has are misused. Most importantly, none of them point to a genre that is called "piano rock".--SabreBD (talk) 21:16, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
- Keep The topic certainly exists and is notable as there are numerous books written about it including:
- Rock 'N' Roll Piano
- The Everything Rock & Blues Piano Book
- Rock Piano: For Beginning to Advanced Students
- Progressive Rock Piano
- The Best of Rock 'n' Roll Piano
- Discovering Rock Piano
- Rock Piano: Professional Know-how of Contemporary Keyboard-playing
- The Total Rock Keyboardist
- Improvising Rock Piano
- Rock Around the Piano
The topic therefore passes the general notability guide. It's obviously a popular form used by artists such as Jerry Lee lewis and Elton John and so seems as sensible a musical topic as jazz piano or the piano concerto. Andrew D. (talk) 21:41, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
- Comment. Of course pianos are used in rock music, and all of the books listed above are about the piano in rock music. Not the same as 'piano rock' as a genre - books about rock drumming wouldn't make 'drumming rock' a valid genre. My instinct is that there is a valid genre here (or perhaps a semi-coherent style of rock music), but I'm not sure that it's supported by sources. --Michig (talk) 07:35, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
- Keep Genres have often been defined by the instrumentation that is constituted therein. Take an example of piano blues that's bluesy music based around the piano, or EDM that's made up of electronically improvised instruments. There's instruments that have grown to be staples and almost inevitable in mainstream rock such as electric guitars, and so designating a rock sub-genre along that line would be logically useless! But pianos don't fall in that category. Another example is acoustic rock that's performed by acoustic instruments. It is a common valid way to distinguish a genre using the lead instrument.user:James Odisemoor (talk) 12:34, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
- Keep From the Rolling Stone magazine to Allmusic, there's a whole lot of evidence of "piano rock" being regarded as a genre in rock music. Bands like Coldplay and the like are referred to in that vein. The definitive melody of a genre is determined by the lead instrument and so the argument that it can't be a sufficient criterion to designate a name for the genre holds little water.user:James Diner (talk) 12:42, 28 October 2015 (UTC
- Comment. Piano rock, just like piano blues, just like raga rock, just like synth rock is a valid classification of a particular sphere of music on the pop scene. It's allover wikipedia in French, Spanish e.t.c.
Johnxxxxsp (talk) 12:49, 28 October 2015 (UTC
- I checked the Piano blues article, and saw a list of pianists, who were described as playing in the following genres; Boogie-woogie, stride, Chicago etc, so perhaps that article should be renamed List of blues pianists...? AS for other comments, there is acoustic music, but not acoustic guitar or guitar rock! There is a reason. As for what is in the French & Italian Wiki... WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS and WP:RS. --Richhoncho (talk) 09:54, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
- Delete as per nom and several of the above editors. In reviewing the past two AfD's, both of which resulted in delete, I find the most cogent comment to be Scottywong's, which said "A genre is a style of music, which is largely independent of the instrument on which it is played. This is why there is not one other subgenre of rock that is defined by a specific instrument. You can play rock songs on a ukulele, but that doesn't make it "Ukulele Rock". It's just rock played on a ukulele."Onel5969 TT me 13:38, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Spartaz Humbug! 22:21, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
- Keep per reasons above. Aria1561 (talk) 02:29, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
- Delete. I'm sympathetic to the notional genre but if the main sources are terribly weak ones such as unsigned Last.fm pages then the topic is not ready for prime time. The entire "Terminology" section is a violation of WP:SYNTH and WP:NOR. The part explaining how "piano rock" became a distinct rock genre hinges on a source that doesn't even mention piano rock! This patchwork article cannot represent the topic; rather, if there is a topic to present to the reader, then our text must be based on solid sources. Binksternet (talk) 07:18, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Sam Sailor Talk! 05:06, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
- Comment: Not surprised this got re-created, this will inevitably get recreated even if we salted the name, because it is a legitimate subject, just poorly written about and sourced.--Milowent • hasspoken 03:43, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Music-related deletion discussions. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:30, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
- Delete I don't think the reasons for deletion have been adequately addressed. Rainbow unicorn (talk) 23:11, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
- Delete If there's a genre here, the article doesn't make a good case for it, and neither do its sources or supporters. Fats Domino and Coldplay are the same subgenre of rock because both use pianos? Nah. There's certainly a category of piano-centered singer-songwriters à la Elton John and Billy Joel (both of whom owe a greater debt to Paul McCartney than to Jerry Lee Lewis) that extends through artists such as Ben Folds, Fiona Apple, Joe Jackson, and Vanessa Carlton; but, you can't rope in any band that sometimes uses piano (Coldplay) or any piano-playing rock artist (Keith Emerson) based on the instrument alone. And then, whither artists who switched between guitar and piano, such as Joni Mitchell or the aforementioned McCartney? Early rock & roll was piano-based because the electric guitar was still relatively new and a tradition for it had not yet been fully established; that doesn't mean Little Richard was in a separate genre from Chuck Berry. Rather, it seems to me that the singer-songwriter article could be greatly expanded to account for piano-based artists from Carole King to Regina Spektor.

- Delete. Reads more like an argumentative paper than an encyclopedia entry. This isn't the place. Fuzchia (talk) 17:07, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
- Delete This "idea" is more of a blurb of a thesis and draws a lot of conclusions without backing. I assume that there could be writing out there to make a claim for support, but would need to be revisited at a later point. Tangledupinbleu chs (talk) 04:40, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
- Delete Horrendous topic, article and execution. Editor does not seem to have a vested interest in the encyclopaedia and is perhaps venting some issues via this article. It is completely unsubstantiated and there's a complete lack of contemporary, critical or academic discussion on the subject. Rayman60 (talk) 02:12, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
- Delete. Like the not-quite-as-weak Representation of black women in hip hop, this was a student writing exercise, and is a good example of why teachers of English composition classes need to stop assigning "write a Wikipedia article" as homework. I outlined at Talk:Whiteness in hip hop#How to salvage something from this article? how to possibly make this a viable article, and drew WT:WikiProject Hip Hop's attention to both articles (here), but a month later nothing has happened. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼ 22:46, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

Fails WP:GNG. No independent reliable sources found for this musical subgenre. I don't usually do music articles, but as far as I can see musical genres don't fall under WP:NMUSIC. Appears to have been created to bolster the creator's latest attempt to create an article on musician G-Mo Skee (speedied all 4 times}. Fan page for the musician https://g-mo.bandcamp.com/ states that G-Mo Skee invented the genre, and his fans have named it FiLTH. Meters (talk) 04:45, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

- Kings And Comrades (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Reference #1: Authorless "JamBase" article, looks like it is probably a kind of press release Reference #2: LastFM, "Artist descriptions on Last.fm are editable by everyone."— band bio probably written by one of its members Reference #3: ReverbNation, only a track listing and short self-written bio Reference #4: Jambase again, here the band is mentioned only trivially in a lineup with a lot of other bands.
None of these references meet the criteria of being non-trivial, independent, reliable sources. If this is the best that the author(s) can come up with, then this band, which has no record label, fails to meet the guidelines at WP:NBAND as well as the requirements of WP:GNG. Also likely to apply here: WP:GARAGE. KDS4444Talk 14:03, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

- Have no idea where to comment this, since I'm European and not used to the English lang. version of Wikipedia and all boxes and places to discuss you use. I want to state following.
- 1) I, who created the article on Wikipedia about Kings and Comrades, am not a band member, have no connections to them and has never met them. I have never been to America. I was listening to them on Spotify and wanted to read about them and could hardly find anything on Internet. The little I found, I cleaned from advertising and band promotion, and what's left is only facts about the band and therefore an encyclopedic text. It's free from band promotion. Many articles about other bands on Wikipedia sounds like homages and adorations, but not this article.
- 2) Sanmare, who wrote the biography about Kings and Comrades on LastFM, has the same status: doesn't know the band, is not American, has never met or talked to any band members. He is from Sweden, a country quite far away from USA and Philadelphia, where the Kings and Comrades are based. Can't this be proved by checking the IP or something? I'm no computer expert.
- 3) Yes, the sources are poor and I wish there where better ones, and better sources may show up in the future. Most info is on the band's own Facebook page, and that source has been avoided. I have tried to only leave the facts about the band. Article is encyclopedic and not promotion. The band exists, the band has the named members and has made the mentioned albums and songs, they can be played on Spotify, YouTube and other places, and the band participated in the mentioned concerts. So the article should not be erased from Wikipedia. Have a great day, --Caspiax 10:36, 12 November 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Caspiax (talk • contribs)

- Delete Searches of the usual types produced some reviews ([1], [2], [3], [4]) in sources that are neither on Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Sources recommended sources list nor on their sources to avoid list. Like JamBase and ReverbNation, however, they do not exhibit the characteristics of reliable sources. Arguably the best of the bunch is the review in The Pier, which, for example is by a recent marketing graduate who works for a music venue and for Skunk Records and writes that he "wrote reviews and got into shows for free, a perfect trade-off." Further searches of the Philadelphia papers, reggaereport.com, and www.roots-archives.com turned up nothing more than gig listings. Therefore does not meet WP:BAND.

Biography of non-notable person. The "National Academy of Best-Selling Authors" is a vanity award [5] and absolutely not a claim to notability, and all sources except one are primary sources such as press releases or directory listings.

- Delete Nom has a point.

- On the fence for the moment. I'm definitely not loving the level of sourcing that's actually present here so far, but there are certainly notability claims being made here that would make for a valid keep if the sourcing were a bit better. ProQuest didn't help at all, but I wasn't really expecting that it would — this isn't a class of topic that mainstream daily newspapers would be likely to cover all that extensively. But the topic does seem to have the level of genre-specific prominence necessary — internet radio streams that actually succeed in getting wikinotable bands to perform live shows on the stream? internet radio streams that actually succeed in getting wikinotable bands to sign on to a branded compilation album? — that it's clearly something more than just your average non-notable internet stream. So music magazines, especially genre-specific ones, may very well come to its rescue nonetheless — I've already been able to add a fifth source just by searching Exclaim! alone. Sometime closer to November 9, I'll come back to reevaluate whether the sourcing has been improved enough — but at least in principle, the notability is there and it's just a question of referencing it better.

I disagree with the nominator's contention that the manufacturer is motivated in any way to maintain this information, they are interested in selling new instruments and generally do not maintain information on legacy models. This type of information is otherwise only available in very expensive specialty books. This is a fantastic compilation directory of legacy models/articles where a non Wikipedia geek can easily improve the topic.

- There is nothing in the article that requires a reference WP:MINREF. Unless someone challenges that one of the products is not by Fender, or challenges the opening sentence. I think if you just change the name to "List of Fender Musical Instruments Corporation products" you will have a list article. I'm not seeing how a glossary of products, by name only can be WP:SOAPBOX. Sadly, a lot of model-specific articles have already been AfD'd and redirected to a parent article. Specific model component information and the place to keep it has been lost, the information was helpful when restoring an instrument to factory specs, or inspecting specific models for authenticity. The number of guitar players in the US was estimated at 10 million in 2004 and Fender is well respected brand, this is not an obscure topic.

- Keep and rename to List of Fender Musical Instruments Products (or something else in line with Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Lists#Stand-alone_list_articles). I agree with 009o9's analysis of why references aren't essential for a list of this nature, and the fact that so many of the entries have stand-alone articles here makes this a valuable addition to the encyclopeia as a list. Invoke WP:IAR if needed. I also agree that this is useful and represents a lot of work which should not be thrown away; if it is felt that it's not appropriate for en.wikipedia for policy reasons, it would make sense to move this to some other venue where it could find a good home. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:54, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

- Keep The label is defunct, but that's ultimately immaterial to its notability. I think this label manages to meet the closest thing we have to a relevant guideline for record labels, which is the part in WP:MUSIC about what constitutes "one of the more important indie labels" - that it is "an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable." Skene released records from Green Day, Shades Apart, Lifter Puller, Trenchmouth, Jawbreaker, Actionslacks, and Crimpshrine, all of which are independently notable and most of which had lasting impacts on the 1990s alternative and punk scenes. There's some fluff and stories which ought to be excised from the article, but the basic skeleton - the factual information about its founding and location, and its roster of artists - is readily verifiable.

- Keep - Berliner Gramophone no longer exists either, but it is notable. Skene is important to the history of Green Day, and released records by several other notable bands. This can be confirmed by a cursory Google Books search. As such it is "one of the more important indie labels" under NMUSIC #5. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 14:55, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
- Delete: It helps to do more open searches, e.g. like Skene Records Minneapolis or Skene "Jeff Spiegel", and I have added what I could find: it's all passing mention. The comparison with another defunct label, Berliner Gramophone, whose notability has not been questioned is a WP:WAX argument. Both Keep votes assumably quote WP:MUSICBIO #5, but that criteria is for musicians and ensembles, not record labels; they fall under WP:CORP, and this one fails. Sam Sailor Talk! 05:07, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
- I'm surprised this argument keeps cropping up every once in a while. As I have long argued, it is inappropriate to judge labels according to business criteria; musicological and pop-cultural subject experts ought to decide their notability. Bands are businesses, too, but we do not judge them according to WP:CORP. Chubbles (talk) 18:18, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
- Empty Assertion of notability: "what matters is the existence of reliable, secondary sources that are entirely independent of the topic that have published detailed content about it, regardless of the present state of the article." Please add them. Sam Sailor Talk! 17:59, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- I respectfully disagree. The label has a proven impact upon musical culture by developing and distributing art, as proven by the multiple notable groups. The label existed pre-internet, or at best just to the very earliest days of the WWW.

WP:PAPERONLY is a possibility, but until any of the Keep !voters add them, claims like "proven impact upon musical culture" is based purely on a WP:MUST assumption, and that's just not good enough per WP:V. - Sam Sailor Talk! 15:49, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
- I respectfully disagree. The label has a proven impact upon musical culture by developing and distributing art, as proven by the multiple notable groups. The label existed pre-internet, or at best just to the very earliest days of the WWW. As such sources are likely offline, but are aslo likely to exist. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 18:19, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Empty Assertion of notability: "what matters is the existence of reliable, secondary sources that are entirely independent of the topic that have published detailed content about it, regardless of the present state of the article." Please add them. Sam Sailor Talk! 17:59, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

- Article about a brand of record player, citing exactly no reliable source coverage to make it a notable brand of record player — the only "sources" here are a YouTube video and two eBay auctions, thus igniting the suspicion that the real intention here was to boost the eBay sales. (If I could definitively prove that, then I'd speedy this as a blatant advertisement — but I can't, so AFD it is.) Delete unless real references can be located. Bearcat (talk) 19:21, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
- There are no real references because it's from 1940 and the only thing to show that it a real record player is to make ebay references. I do not know why you think it to boost ebay sales why would i want to do that? Its not advertisement cause it a real record player that not being made no more and the brand is Stewart Warner so it is notable. Jdogmad (talk) 03:26, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
- References on Wikipedia have to be to reliable sources. They cannot be to eBay auctions or YouTube videos — if you cannot find reliable source coverage, then the thing just doesn't get to have an article. Bearcat (talk) 19:56, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
- Delete. It's a record player, like hundreds or thousands of others. This particular model doesn't appear to be notable in any way; it doesn't even rate a mention in Stewart-Warner. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:17, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

Voices of van Gogh are a notable new musical ensemble. John Cate is a widely and regularly published (October 2015 CBS TV series NCIS and Zoo), Scarlet Rivera is a world-renowned violinist who recently performed at the United Nations and John Durrill is an internationally known songwriter (Cher's "Dark Lady", Merle Haggard's "Misery and Gin" among many others) and performer in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Because of these individual backgrounds, it is important to memorialize this new project created by the contributors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vangoghbrother (talk • contribs) 08:55, October 25, 2015
