Hilda Lamas

[edit]

Fails inclusion criteria at WP:MUSIC. Has no significant coverage that I can find, but she was nominated twice for awards by the Tejano Music Industry Awards, which don't count as major music awards though.
Is at the moment a copyright violation and a blatant advertising. The author, a new Wikipedian, asserted to be this Mindy Marroquin (automatic conflict of interest).
It could be speedily deleted for those issues, but I want to discuss the notability of the topic, not the article in its current form, since she might pass Wikipedia:MUSIC#Criteria_for_musicians_and_ensembles criterion 5. Amalthea^Talk 16:11, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No, i don't think she would pass that if the nom. couldn't find any references for the article. Completely nn, article is not written correctly (slightly less relevant), but anyway, subject has no "claim to fame." --Lord ₪Sunday 17:11, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - will probably be notable at some point, but not yet. Début CD (album?) set for release in late 2008 so doesn't meet criterion 5 of WP:MUSIC. I can't see any significant coverage in reliable sources either, and doesn't seem to be mentioned on AllMusic. I would say delete, allowing for recreation after début release, if there is significant coverage then.--Beloved Freak 17:40, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete nothing to discuss with a blatant G12 violation; also even if rewritten, still speedy under A7 - unremarkable person/band. Nothing notable about the person at all to warrant an attempt to salvage the article. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 17:25, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I did a search for Hilda Lamas and I am showing some newspaper articles about her. I do not believe that this is advertising, but I did call the Tejano Music Awards office to confirm that she had indeed been nominated for the awards. The conclusion, is that she has been nominated and lost out only to a Latin Grammy Award Winner, Kacy Zavala. She is signed with a legit record company that has spawned hits not to mention they did have Freddy Fender on the label at the time of death. I wish there was a 6 month probation period to really research this young lady...here are a few sites to search for her...www.haciendarecords.com, www.haciendaradio.com, www.caller.com...got these sites from a search engine...Nathan(Thanwilliams (talk) 19:04, 27 August 2008 (UTC)) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thanwilliams (talk • contribs)

If you have reliable newspaper articles that cover her in detail (and not just mention her appearances), please add them to the article. The Tejano Music Awards can't be considered a major music award, and none of her hits have charted or placed in rotation by a major national radio network. In short, I don't think that she passes any of the criteria in WP:MUSIC, which is at the moment the notability guideline. --Amalthea^Talk 20:11, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

An option for you (Thanwilliams) would be to copy the article to your userspace, making a subpage of your user page, and work on it there. Then, if and when Hilda Lamas becomes notable enough for an article (possibly after her album is released), you can move it back to the main article space. You don't need a 6 month probation period because there's no deadline for creating articles. If it's deleted now, there is no reason it cannot be recreated in the future if notability guidelines are met.--Beloved Freak 20:24, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per belovedfreak. In addition, I don't consider Tejano Music Award to be a major award . Morbidthoughts (talk) 04:14, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
