Majai

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Cannot find any sources that substantiate any claims of notability in this article, or any other criteria for notability. Fails WP:BAND. Rogermx (talk) 16:34, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Majai should not be deleted. Majai has had at least two releases on important independent labels. Toll Says no More was released on Big Fish Recordings and Phoria was released on Armada music. Meets requirement of WP:BAND. Trancer5007 (talk) 14:56, 18 September 2017

 * Comment Delete: Big Fish Recordings isn't notable, so that leaves one song on one notable label, Armada Music - and that wasn't the original release label anyway... "Phoria" was released on Tetsuo before the remixes were released on Armada's digital music platform. And the requirement to pass WP:BAND is for two albums released on notable labels, not two songs, so they don't meet that notability requirement. Richard3120 (talk) 02:58, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

"Don't Delete Close AFD": Big Fish Recordings is an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable. Lazy Rich, Porter Robinson among others are notable. In addition, Phoria release with Armada was an original which featured an exclusive release of Phoria which was the Big Room Mix a remix reworked from the ground up and NOT released on any other label. The Big Room Remix was on several of Markus Schulz mix albums as well. Phoria was also released on Paul Van Dyk's label Vandit and his year double cd mix. Also Phoria was released on Tetsuo as well as the song Strange. Tetsuo is another notable independent label with a roster of performers as well which are all notable. Another release Lightwave was released on Monster Tunes which is another independent label with notable artists. We can go on and on. I'm not sure why you are trying to split hairs here as Majai releases were widely supported and played in the trance scene. I have no more time to waste on this fruitless argument. Close this or I will report this to Wikipedia. Trancer5007 (T) 19:01, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
 * This has nothing to do with "splitting hairs" – you haven't demonstrated the notability of any of the artists or labels simply because you say they are notable. In order to pass Wikipedia's ntoability guidelines they need to have had coverage in multiple independent reliable sources, such as newspapers, music magazines, or credible online music websites... not blogs. Neither you nor I decides when this AfD is closed, that is up to the administrator. Richard3120 (talk) 14:09, 21 September 2017 (UTC)


 * I agree completely with Richard. If you have any independent reliable sources that prove the notability of Majai, please list them here.  I will let the administrator decide this afd. Rogermx (talk) 15:29, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

"Don't Delete Close AFD": The releases listed above are the reliable sources. You should do your homework before you make an opinion on whether you believe a record label is notable or not. The fact remains those labels are notable and they have multiple notable artists on those labels. The argument has already been presented. And yes you are splitting hairs.

 * Suggest you read WP:RS. We need to see something tangible that proves A) that a particular record label is notable, and B) that Majai released an album (not a single) at that record label.  Or show some other proof of notability.  Rogermx (talk) 20:39, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I've done my homework, and it's not my opinion – neither those labels nor those artists are notable by Wikipedia guidelines for WP:ORG and WP:BAND. I also notice that your only edits on Wikipedia are the creation of this article in 2008, and then nine years of silence until this AfD crops up? Richard3120 (talk) 18:08, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
 * You have not done your homework. It is strictly opinion you are forming your comments on. The labels listed are notable according to Wikipedia guidelines. Just because you are not familiar with electronic dance music does not justify your statement. Refer to guidelines again WP:BAND. Regardless whether I edit or not does not have anything to do with validity. I could contribute further but that is a separate issue. Trancer5007 (talk) 13:46, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm very familiar with electronic music thanks, I spent fifteen years of my life going clubbing, and I am familiar with the labels you mention and some of the bands on those labels. That doesn't mean any of them pass Wikipedia notability guidelines. And Majai most definitely do not pass WP:BAND. You say they pass point five of the guideline, but as has already been pointed out above, the guideline states that they should have released two albums, not singles, on notable labels. And the labels are not notable, because they don't pass WP:ORG, even though you and I are familiar with them. Majai certainly don't come anywhere near passing any other criterion of WP:BAND.
