Shokolat

Only vauge assertions of notability given, and the references are only partially specified. I've been unable to verify the notability claims independently. --fvw *  18:40, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

 * I tried searching Google News archives, and also tried a library database of newspaper and magazine articles, but have not found any sources that would help to establish WP:N notability. Delete unless sources appear before the end of this deletion discussion. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 23:31, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: article fails to establish notability, as per WP:MUSIC. JamesBurns (talk) 05:13, 17 December 2008 (UTC)


 * It is without question that notability criteria 11 has been met WP:MUSIC. The artist features on rotation on a major national radio station as pointed out by Sararigby below (www.classicfm.nl - playlist search for shokolat, under "zoek naar"). It would be in the spirit of wikipedia fairness if JamesBurns and Graymornings took the trouble to confirm this and withdraw their delete recommendation on this basis, and to confirm the validity of this. One wonders what the point of notability guidelines is if wikipedians ignore them! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Classicalmusiclover (talk • contribs) 16:06, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

"This artist should not be deleted due to the "notabaility Criteria" for musicians number 11: This artist is on rotation on Classic FM Netherlands, THE major national FM radio broadcaster in Holland for classical music. This can be verified on a search at http://www.classicfm.nl under playlist / zoeken searching for "shokolat" in the box "zoek naar". This artist also often appears on rotation on national classical radio station in germany (http://www.klassikradio-shop.de/playlist/?suche=shokolat) amongst others. Also in Holland he often receives radio airplay on Concertzender National radio e.g. http://www.concertzender.eu/programmagids.php?date=2008-04-23&month=-8&detail=28777 or http://www.concertzender.eu/programmagids.php?date=2008-04-02&month=-8&detail=28774 as examples, one of which lasted more than 30 minutes, which is again NOTABLE under BOTH wikipedia musician criteria numbers 11 and 12. The assertions that "fails WP:music" is therefore incorrect - although the verification of these claims has been impeded by language barriers (german, dutch), and furthermore these links do provide verification. In general terms wp:music states: "in a nutshell Notability is met if the musician has been the subject of a broadcast by a media network". The verifiable information provided confirms at least 3 media networks in at least 2 countries, at least one of which is a weekly broadcast. Deletion would be contrary to wikipedia guidelines." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sararigby (talk • contribs) 12:58, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
