Notability

Upon reading the wiki page for 5ive Style (not a considered a stub), I discovered the authors had left out 1/4 of the band,namely Keyboard player, Jeremy Jacobsen. After editing his name and role into that page, I then created a link to his current project The Lonesome Organist and created this page. The Lonesome Organist is a current, active music act which is also a quick reference for those interested in Post-rock, Psychobilly, and One-man band genres, all of which are subjects included in Wikipedia's collection of music pages.

I would take a look at WP:MUSIC for more information regaring notability requirements -- this band does not seem to satisfy the criteria based on the article. (Hint: when you leave a comment, you can sign it by including: ~~~~). --CrashingWave 05:10, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The first thing I noticed in doing so is that a lack of notability is supposedly NOT grounds for deletion. Further, it seems the requirement of a simple "claim" of noteworthiness seems a trivial technicality. A user could present evidence of the notability of a subject simply to satisfy A7, but it seems silly to do so without further discussion, which would seemingly compromise the neutrality of the article. The way I see it, this is a subject noteworthy in its reference to the above mentioned topics. Anyone who is interested in 5ive Style should know about ALL of the members(nobody thanked me for fixing that enormous error), and should know what each individual currently has to offer. Of the 4 members, Jacobsen is the one whose most recent recording is the most timely. ~~~~

Still, the burden is on you to substantiate the noteworthiness of the article. I would recommend looking through the criteria again and then supplying some supporting materials to the article, if they are available. (As for no one thanking you for fixing the error, unfortunately, contributing to Wikipedia is sometimes a thankless job. There is an inherent "thank you" to all contributors though and you can take solace in the fact that you are expanding a record of human knowledge.) CrashingWave 06:20, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
