NMS Artist on the Verge: 2014 Top 100

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not my field, but how can a list of "artists on the verge of breaking out" or of anything in that state of development be appropriate encyclopedic content. Very few of them will yet be notable.  DGG ( talk ) 21:34, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete as this list fails GNG. This is an article about a real world list that was created for subjective ranking purposes (akin to Rolling Stones 100 Greatest Guitarists), so we want sources discussing the list itself as a document. It is not an informational list, so the notability of the individuals named is not relevant nor whether it satisfies LISTN (unless we somehow take that as the same question as whether secondary sources have discussed this particular NMS list). Copying that list in its entirety is likely a copyvio, as inclusion is not factual but creatively determined. For those entries that are notable, however, it is quite possible that their inclusion in this list is a fact worth noting in their individual articles. postdlf (talk) 18:39, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect to New Music Seminar. A Google search on the title of this list does return hits to this list from the New Music Seminar, so it makes sense to redirect to the New Music Seminar article.--I am One of Many (talk) 16:32, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
