Annie Locke

Can't find any suitable net references as to notability, no reviews, no write ups from reputable sources, no indication of sales Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 05:25, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

The work by Annie Locke, that has been listed, is what she produced before the Web began so it should come as no great surprise that you haven't been able to find much about her on that basis. There were no New Age charts to speak of back in the 80s. I know Hearts of Space did play her music but we don't have data as to how often. There are one or two hard-copy write-ups kicking around from the 80s that I may be able to find if I dig around.

As I stated in the article, she has sold in the region of 100,000 albums across her three titles. Inner Harmonies Music, UK; Serenity Music, USA; Fonix Musik, Denmark; Aquamarin Verlag, Germany; New Age Media, Australia; all distributed her music back in the 80s to early 90s. She appeared on a number of radio shows - Michael Van Straten, LBC, comes to mind, also Tina Baker on Radio Leicester - I can dig around for more.

After a 20 year or so break she is relaunching her music career this year - with a new piano album.

Questions:

* It would help me to know how much evidence you consider would be enough to substantiate the article. * Should you decide to delete the item, Annie Locke, can I ask what rights I have to claim back her photo.

I hope we can work something out.

Thanks for your feedback.

 * Comment A good guide to notability for musical artists can be at WP:BAND. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 02:10, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Comment Thanks for your advice. I've taken a look at the page - very useful.

If I read it correctly, I have 5 days from notification before this article is deleted. Also that I can continue to edit to bring up to requirements. However I anticipate it will take me a little longer than what remains of the 5 days to acquire the info I need for this.

I'm anticipating it might be better to rewrite/resubmit this article at a later time. Can you confirm that one can resubmit, given that the updated item meets requirements? Also will it still live in my personal area after being deleted from the public area?

 * You can resubmit an article that has been deleted. However, it is likely to get immediate scrutiny so you should be careful to make the article neutral in tone, cite independent sources for any material that may be challenged, and give evidence of notability. The content in your personal area will not be deleted. Aymatth2 (talk) 16:03, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep - This musician's listing at Allmusic.com |LOCKE&sql=11:hzfoxqq5ldje~T2 includes a discography of three released albums. They have all been widely distributed, therefore she meets the criteria for notability. Untick (talk) 03:56, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The albums do not meet the criteria at WP:MUSIC: Serenity is not a major label, and the albums do seem to have been on any national music chart. If there were non-trivial independent sources, that would do it, but I can't find any. Aymatth2 (talk) 19:16, 4 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Weak Delete We have 12 criteria for listing musicians, meeting any single one is criteria for inclusion. Serenity might be considered in important indie label, as they have been around since 1984, (more than a few years), and they have a roster of 12 musicians, but most of the musicians are genre-specific, and may not be considered notable.
