Contested 2x prod. Page was created in 2005. Editor who removed the prod did so claiming that artist is notable for having a page on the MTV website. Does this constitute a valid claim for #11 or #12 of the WP:MUSIC points? §FreeRangeFrog 01:59, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Videos were in rotation on Canadian channel MuchMusic at one point. I believe that satisfies #11.Sovex (talk) 02:08, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have a verifiable source for that? JamesBurns (talk) 06:06, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
http://www.thegauntlet.com/bio/446/Hypofixx.html - "With his video in rotation on MuchMusic's Uranium, OvenFresh Keepers and Loud, HypoFixx was catapulted into an international spotlight and introduced as a new leader in industrial music." - That was just from a quick google search. Do you need more than that? Sovex (talk) 21:11, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No, but the fact that their album is on Amazon released through The Orchard is. Why not add that to the article in the first place? §FreeRangeFrog 21:36, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Well, then I think the requirements for notability are covered. Thanks, internet! Sovex (talk) 22:04, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No, sorry. The guidelines state that the artist must release two albums on a notable label. I can't find information on any of the others. Can you provide it? §FreeRangeFrog 22:30, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The guidelines at WP:Music state "A musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, DJ, musical theatre group, etc.) is notable if it meets any ONE of the following criteria:" We've already discussed that this band meets several of these points. Am I missing something? Sovex (talk) 15:48, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I brought this to AfD to test whether or not the claim about having the video played meets #11 specifically (not so much #12). I was pretty sure it wouldn't be able to pass #5. §FreeRangeFrog 18:39, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
OK, so it does meet #11, but doesn't meet #5 or #12. So as long as the guidelines say that the band is notable if it meets ONE of the guidelines, then where is the problem? I don't see anything about meeting "All" or "Several" of the points, just "One". Sovex (talk) 18:50, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I never said it met #11, I said I brought it to AfD to test whether or not it did, because I didn't think it met any of the others, especially #5. §FreeRangeFrog 19:13, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I can tell, I've proven notability WITHIN THE GUIDELINES GIVEN. If that's not good enough, then I don't know what else I'm supposed to do. You're the decider, so decide away. Sovex (talk) 19:33, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
AfD is a consensus, so we'll wait and see if one develops. §FreeRangeFrog
Alright. I've added my vote below. Sovex (talk) 20:50, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
If there is consensus, I will gladly close the AfD. §FreeRangeFrog 02:29, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
