Sound of Boston

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable local music blog that fails WP:ORG. Of the 11 sources in the article, only one (a college newspaper) is even a non-trivial mention by a third-party source. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 04:52, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete, sources fail WP:GNG:
 * Sources #1, #3, #14, #17, #19 are part of the subject's website(s). FAIL.
 * Sources #2, #7, #8, #10, #13 only give trivial mentions. FAIL.
 * Sources #4, #5 appear to be the newspapers of the college of the founders of Sound of Boston, not independent. BORDERLINE.
 * Sources #6 is not reliable, probably is non-informational poll. FAIL.
 * Sources #11, #15 are promotional material. FAIL.
 * Source #16 seems to be routine and trivial coverage promoting an event. FAIL.
 * Source #18 is the subject's YouTube channel. FAIL.

I don't know about #9 because a subscriber paywall popped up, but it appears to be similar to #8. Does not pass GNG or ORG. UnnamedUser (open talk page) 03:20, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
