Advertisement tone, notability and verification comments[edit]

We've removed the line about elitism that probably triggered the advertisement flag. That should be reconsidered now. The rest is factual.

As far as notability, the site is now a featured publication on Metacritic. Is that not significant enough? Doesn't that fill criteria #1 of web notability? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(web)

Additional citations for verification have been added and the unnecessary self-published sources have been removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulkeebler (talk • contribs) 06:53, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Beats Per Minute (website) → Beats per Minute (website) – Per MOS:5. 7szz (talk) 19:36, 24 April 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 14:58, 7 May 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. 晚安 (トークページ) 16:12, 15 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, upper case P is used throughout the article and in the refs. Suonii180 (talk) 15:43, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:TITLETM. The independent sources cited in the article consistently capitalize the P, so TITLETM states that we follow suit. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 17:09, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support: There are few, if any, WP:independent reliable sources that discuss the topic in detail, so we should just apply Wikipedia's own ordinary styling conventions for the name of the site. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 17:07, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:Verifiability. Wikipedia should not be imposing a style that is in conflict with the preponderance of reliable sources. -- Netoholic @ 04:56, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The capital P is not just used by Beats Per Minute but also predominates in the references. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 21:52, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Beats Per Minute (website) → Beats Per Minute (music blog) – Generally speaking, the (website) disambiguator is generic and uninformative, and should be avoided. Its also misleading because the subject here isn't simply a "website", but an enterprise. Multiple sources describe BPM as a music blog, and the operator a music blogger. -- Netoholic @ 07:44, 18 May 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. >>> Extorc.talk 17:16, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose (as proposed): The term in the parentheses is for disambiguation, not explanation. Wikipedia prefers simple commonly used disambiguation terms rather than more specific ones – e.g., "politician" and "musician" rather than "mayor" or "cellist". The proposed name is also less WP:CONCISE – using two words where one is sufficient. There are no other articles on Wikipedia that use "music blog" as a disambiguation term. In fact there are no other articles on Wikipedia that use anything like "blah blog" as a title disambiguation term. (Three weeks ago, someone created one at Oryx (OSINT blog), but I just renamed that, so now there aren't any.) Perhaps it could be "(blog)" rather than "(website)", but there are currently about 10 times as many articles on Wikipedia use "(website)" (224) than "(blog)" (only 23). —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 21:28, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The (website) tag is perfectly fine, as seen with Pitchfork (website), The Ringer (website), Vox (website), and myriad others. 162 etc. (talk) 21:36, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
