Hypofixx

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested 2x prod. Page was created in 2005. Editor who removed the prod did so claiming that artist is notable for having a page on the MTV website. Does this constitute a valid claim for #11 or #12 of the WP:MUSIC points? § FreeRangeFrog 01:59, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Videos were in rotation on Canadian channel MuchMusic at one point. I believe that satisfies #11.Sovex (talk) 02:08, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Do you have a verifiable source for that? JamesBurns (talk) 06:06, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * http://www.thegauntlet.com/bio/446/Hypofixx.html - "With his video in rotation on MuchMusic's Uranium, OvenFresh Keepers and Loud, HypoFixx was catapulted into an international spotlight and introduced as a new leader in industrial music." - That was just from a quick google search.  Do you need more than that? Sovex (talk) 21:11, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * No, but the fact that their album is on Amazon released through The Orchard is. Why not add that to the article in the first place? § FreeRangeFrog 21:36, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, then I think the requirements for notability are covered. Thanks, internet! Sovex (talk) 22:04, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * No, sorry. The guidelines state that the artist must release two albums on a notable label. I can't find information on any of the others. Can you provide it? § FreeRangeFrog 22:30, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The guidelines at WP:Music state "A musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, DJ, musical theatre group, etc.) is notable if it meets any ONE of the following criteria:" We've already discussed that this band meets several of these points.  Am I missing something? Sovex (talk) 15:48, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I brought this to AfD to test whether or not the claim about having the video played meets #11 specifically (not so much #12). I was pretty sure it wouldn't be able to pass #5. § FreeRangeFrog 18:39, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, so it does meet #11, but doesn't meet #5 or #12. So as long as the guidelines say that the band is notable if it meets ONE of the guidelines, then where is the problem? I don't see anything about meeting "All" or "Several" of the points, just "One".  Sovex (talk) 18:50, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I never said it met #11, I said I brought it to AfD to test whether or not it did, because I didn't think it met any of the others, especially #5. § FreeRangeFrog 19:13, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 * As far as I can tell, I've proven notability WITHIN THE GUIDELINES GIVEN. If that's not good enough, then I don't know what else I'm supposed to do.  You're the decider, so decide away. Sovex (talk) 19:33, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 * AfD is a consensus, so we'll wait and see if one develops. § FreeRangeFrog
 * Alright. I've added my vote below.  Sovex (talk) 20:50, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 * If there is consensus, I will gladly close the AfD. § FreeRangeFrog 02:29, 19 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete The notable body of work does not appear to be there. --Stormbay (talk) 23:06, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Notability proven within WP:Music Guidelines, as outlined above. Sovex (talk) 20:50, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete The reference above claiming rotation on MuchMusic is not a reliable source. It's not an article—it's a band bio on a music website that appears to be take from a press release. Without verifiable references from a reliable source regarding the MuchMusic claim, this artist does not meet any of WP:MUSIC. 173.48.82.191 (talk) 04:57, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Additionally, to address a comment above, digital distribution is not one of the criteria at WP:MUSIC. 173.48.82.191 (talk) 14:30, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Bands and musicians-related deletion discussions.  —173.48.82.191 (talk) 04:58, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: insufficient independent 3rd party sources WP:BAND. JamesBurns (talk) 23:56, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - Hypofixx's notability within WP:Music Guidelines is demonstrated by Billboard.com link that I have added to the main article. Esasus (talk) 00:37, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * That Billboard link is merely a mirror of the All Music Guide. It shows he released one album and one single (neither of which charted), and in no way indicates notability. 173.48.82.191 (talk) 00:58, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
