Proposed deletion of Izzy Miller


The article Izzy Miller has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Seemingly a vanity page for a very minor independent artist. Was already proposed for deletion once before and was deleted but has been remade. I have proposed that much larger independent artists than Mr. Miller be deleted for lacking relevance or notoriety and have to apply the same standard here; a few hundred Spotify streams/month, barely over 100 Twitter/X followers, under 2000 Instagram followers, the citations used throughout the article include sites Mr. Miller made himself (e.g. CDBaby), seemingly the artists local newspaper mentioning him, and a torrent site for downloading one of his albums among other low quality sources. The artist has seemingly only been signed to record labels they themselves have created (a quick Google reveals that the artist's current label, Turtle Mountain Records, is a 'label' the artist themselves created and are seemingly the only act 'signed' to. Lots of odd, irrelevant information included in the article, as well; is it relevant or interesting that Mr. Miller is single? Or that a tornado hit his house and damaged one of his guitars? This seems like material meant to inflate the wordcount of the article to make the artist seem more relevant than he is. Finally, many of the edits seem to have been made by Mr. Miller himself (and he protested the original article deletion) lending credence to this being a vanity page. In short, I just do not see this artist as having met any kind of reasonable standard for the sort of cultural relevance or notoriety that would warrant a page dedicated to them. If this is the standard for relevance/notoriety we adhere to when allowing the creation of pages for bands or artists, I don't see how this wouldn't mean 10's of thousands of local bands making pages for themselves."
