Pell (musician)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

non-notable musician. Page appears to be a promotional vehicle. No mentions in any WP:RS that I could find. Just music blogs. Releases are on a non-notable indie label. Rockypedia (talk) 14:31, 27 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Pell is a global touring artist. He has performed at Lollapalooza, Reading + Leeds, Hangout, and other festivals. His videos have been featured on MTV, Fuse, etc. He has over 40 million streams on Spotify alone. He's a verified artist on all social platforms. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Familyarcade (talk • contribs) 23:10, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, none of those things qualify a subject for an article on Wikipedia. See WP:NOTE for the requirements, and more specifically, WP:NMUSIC Rockypedia (talk) 02:24, 28 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep - Several reliable secondary sources are cited in the article. Not just one-line mentions either.  The article may need some cleanup, but the sources are there.  Magnolia677 (talk) 23:59, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete as also an actual advertisement, what's listed is nothing of actual convincing for independent notability and substance, and the listed sources also show this, therefore with both questionability of advertising and notability, delete. SwisterTwister   talk  23:35, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. In theory, he passes WP:MUSICBIO due to his national touring. However, there are many spots in the BLP article that are lacking decent sources for some of the claims and assertions. I trimmed the worst cruft. Bearian (talk) 18:55, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - Getting coverage by the likes of huffingtonpost.com and bestofneworleans.com as well as others makes him different than multiple other artists that have their pages justly deleted for lack of sourcing. I do see, though, that the article needs work and that he seems pretty close to the notability line in either direction. I feel like retaining this to work on it further.
