Massimo Pericolo

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

BLP of a musician, not properly referenced as notable per WP:NMUSIC. The closest thing to a strong notability claim here is the fact that he's toured — but to make a musician notable for touring, you have to reference the tour to media coverage about the tour (actual concert reviews, etc.) which contextualizes its importance, and just showing a self-published tour calendar on a primary source promotional platform is not enough. The only other notability claim even being attempted here is the number of views his videos have collected on YouTube, which does not satisfy any part of our notability criteria for musicians at all. And four of the five references here are primary sources (the PR concert listing, two YouTube videos and his self-published profile on another PR platform) -- there's only one footnote that's actually a reliable source, and one reference is not enough to get him over WP:GNG all by itself in lieu of actually having to accomplish anything that passes NMUSIC's achievement-based tests. Furthermore, this has been salted on the Italian Wikipedia, because it's been recreated and redeleted as blatant advertising nine times this year alone — and for an Italian musician, it doesn't bode well for his ability to pass our notability criteria if even Italians, who by definition are going to be much more familiar with the Italian music media landscape than most of the rest of the world, still can't find the necessary depth and range of reliable source media coverage either.

 * Delete as with the notability guidelines for politicians, musicians who merely pass GNG but do not meet the music notablity guidelines should also see their articles deleted. However in their case, the article does not even pass GNG, so it should be deleted.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:58, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
