Severed Fifth

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

"Music project" announced within the past couple weeks which fulfills no criteria of WP:MUSIC. 142 Google hits in the blogosphere, but no reliable sources turn up. Since this album has not entered production, let alone released yet, it fails WP:CRYSTAL as well. Article written by a SPA, prod removed with the comment "it's a relevant article" by a second SPA.

Would this radio interview, Ars Technica article and the notablity of the person behind the project (Jono Bacon) satisfy the notability requiermnts of the article? Also I'm not an SPA ;) --Ali Davoodifar (talk) 13:18, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't think so, no. Bacon is no more than barely notable (and could stand some scrunity, as to that).  The Ars Technica citation is a blogpost, and the radio site is nothing more than Wolverhampton's local FM station, presuming anyone can get that link to work.  Certainly you have to get pretty overwhelming to bypass WP:CRYSTAL, and this isn't remotely it.  (As far as being a SPA goes, this article represents all your edits within the last year, and you only have had a half dozen other edits total.  I'd likewise be curious as to who User:Erky38 is, whose removal of the prod tag represents his sole Wikipedia edit.)    RGTraynor  14:10, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

I've also done edits without loging in. The point is I've not created an account just to make this entry. I've been around for while simply because I like wikipedia and what it stands for.

I would think if having a musical entry in his own page is a notable addition so should a project that relates to that. (Radio link fixed) --Ali Davoodifar (talk) 14:21, 26 June 2008 (UTC) Suggestion: As the chap's own project, perhaps Severed Fifth could be merged with Jono Bacon under the Music header, at least for the time being? --Dave the Rave (DTR) talk 15:38, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Notability is not inherited. Russian Textiles (talk) 16:52, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong delete, massively non-notable project, not to mention unexceptional as an artist independent of the record industry trying to distribute himself has been done a million times already anyway. The only reason it's getting treated as novel, i suspect, is because of this man Bacon's crowd aren't particularly familiar with the topic and because he's decided to write a future article about it.  tomasz.  13:03, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: Beyond that, there's a basic premise involved: that new creative works, no matter how prominent the artist, just don't qualify per WP:MUSIC unless there are confirmed release dates in the "near future" and backed by multiple reliable sources.   RGTraynor  18:03, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
