List of albums awarded Best New Music by Pitchfork Media

There is no signficant coverage by third-party sources of this topic (these few paragraphs by The L Magazine appear to be it, and this article is made up of nothing else but 549 citations to Pitchfork Media reviews). While Pitchfork itself is notable, WP:NOTINHERIT applies here. This isn't notable outside of the publication. The existence of other articles with similar issues of third-party coverage (as brought up in the first AfD) is irrelevant per WP:OTHERSTUFF. Simply put, to be considered significant coverage in reliable sources, it really needs coverage outside of just Pitchfork Media. If the Pitchfork list is being mentioned elsewhere, then the list concept is notable; if not, no.

The past discussion resulted in no consensus; two editors voted delete per the above reasons, one editor voted to keep this article because they were not familiar with WP:NOTINHERIT, and another who voted to keep the article was the main contributor to the article who only offered this student research paper from Brown University as a response. Another editor then erroneously claimed it was an academic source and Wikipedia accepts such sources. WP:SCHOLARSHIP is clear about academic sources being reliable and scholarly only when they have been peer-reviewed, and that student paper for some economics class has not been vetted.

Nothing in the way of reliable third-party coverage has been added to this article since the first AfD. Dan56 (talk) 03:54, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. The article doesn't establish that being awarded "Best New Music" by Pitchfork is a notable distinction. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:48, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
