I came across an enquiry at the help desk

"Hello, fairly new here and have come across an article whose subject I think is insufficiently notable. It's this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gayatri_Nair. How can I mark it up as such? Thanks UKCW — User:UKComedyWikis (talk • contribs) 14:53, 15 March 2018 (UTC)"

I concur this page is promotional without really showing WP:NMUSIC for the artist yet. Legacypac (talk) 15:33, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep per nom. Criteria for musicians and ensembles (section 1) are met with the person - Nair is currently a participant in ITV - The Voice competition, though the article is not updated with the links. The person (Nair) is in Knockout stages and if she progresses through next round - there will be just one round before the finals. According to print and online media, she is a potential finalist. With respect to Section 1 of Criteria for musicians and ensembles - all the national news media has stories/articles on Nair and ITV has featured her twice already and constantly posts about her on ITV social channels.

 * Comment,, did either of you do a WP:BEFORE search? Neither of you mention having done one. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 15:09, 16 March 2018 (UTC)


 * I will point out that being a finalist in the Voice does not meet WP:NMUSIC and unless she reaches the final and wins first, second or third place, that is not an indication of notability. Prince of Thieves (talk) 19:18, 19 March 2018 (UTC) Being one of the last four (apparently there are four finalists) is in my view a claim to notability.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment, I'm not citing just The Sun, but multiple independent sources for articles. Regarding following the rules I understand your concern - Section 9 of Criteria for musicians and ensembles - Winning, runnerup or 3rd place. I agree to that, but I'm referring to Section 1 - Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician, Section 10 - Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g., a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show and Section 12 - Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network Simonekent (talk) 20:12, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep as per . There are is quite sufficient coverage from multiple reliable news sources, not all of it in connection with her appearances on The Voice to pass WP:NMUSIC criterion 1. Fairly clear-cut, in my view. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 00:04, 21 March 2018 (UTC)  DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 00:06, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Spartaz Humbug! 06:09, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep passes WP:NMUSIC criteria 1 and 10 and has significant coverage in reliable sources to pass WP:GNG Atlantic306 (talk) 15:32, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Article sourcing has been improved greatly and I went through and removed the fluff. This person has received plenty of significant coverage from secondary sources as a semifinalist in a popular competition, and she also received some significant coverage about her musical talents when she was younger. Easily satisfies WP:GNG. Lonehexagon (talk) 03:06, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
