Talk:Becky Jean Williams

Contested deletion
This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... The page relates to a musician who is part of a published band, is a person of current interest (recent single released this week) and her contemporaries such as Haley Gibby and Kaskade both have Wikipedia pages that exist in good standing. It doesn't really seem to make sense to remove this page without culling a load of others as well. --PhilVeale (talk) 23:41, 5 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Other stuff exists. We're focusing on how Williams is notable, not other people. Members of bands are not inherently notable, unless they've done work outside of the band or in multiple notable bands.


 * Further, even if she were notable, the article would be subject to proposed deletion for failing to cite any reliable sources. —C.Fred (talk) 23:44, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

I accept lack of citations as problem but not one that's impossible to correct, if I had more time. I do not completely understand the notability requirements, wikipedia seems full of pages of Actors, Musicians and such, whose noteworthiness would seem only a function of their level of fame.

Does it basically come down to Solo Artist = meets required level, but Band Member does not? What if it's member of a very well known band?

If in the future there is a change in fame and thus perhaps noteworthiness, would it subseqeuntly become appropriate to recreate the article? --PhilVeale (talk) 23:50, 5 October 2012 (UTC)


 * It's easier for solo artists to meet the required level, because they're the performer on the charting singles. The band, effectively, is its own entity. Band members aren't notable as members of the band; they have to achieve notability in their own right. —C.Fred (talk) 00:17, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
