Deletion Sorting
Project

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Music. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
  1. Edit this page and add {{Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Music|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Music. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Misplaced Pages:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
Further information
For further information see Misplaced Pages's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Delete. This article was deleted by way of AFD before, and a DRV endorsed later endorsed that deletion. Time passed, and someone rewrote the article without bringing it up before deletion review first, which I find odd (db-repost?) -- in any event, I am not seeing the non-trivial coverage that we would require for this or any other software application, especially one that has been deleted by community consensus. JBsupreme (talk) 18:24, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Keep.When I wrote this article I did not know that there had previously been an article about Milkytracker on Misplaced Pages before. How does one find articles that have been deleted from Misplaced Pages? I do believe that this is notable software because it is the only AudioTracker for the PocketPC/WindowsMobile platform. Chipmusic, 8bit music etc. is a an emerging genre of electronic music, and at current, this is one of the premiere and most powerful programs for enabling this type of composition on various modern platforms. It has recently been included in many linux distributions. It is hard to think of any program of such significant capability for audio composition that will run on Windows, PocketPC, Mac OSX and Linux. I put the page up because there were dozens of links in other tracking articles referencing Milkytracker with no link. I have recreated some of the outside references, such as "Create Digital Music", I will add others as I find them. Obviously non-commercial software does not get the same kind of press that commercial and professionally promoted products do. Milkytracker has this in common with all open source software. Milkytracker is notable for several reasons: First it's the only tracking software for the PocketPC/Windows Mobile. Second, it's the most ported full fledged music creation application today. No other music creation application comes close to the software/platform support of Milkytracker. Third, it's the most accurate FastTracker experience one can experience outside of emulated environments without using legacy hardware. The demoscene/tracking scene may be underground, but it is legion. Milkytracker has been released, promoted, tested and used. It is actively developed and full featured. Youtube is filled with videos of songs and performances created with Milkytracker. It's a mature tracking environment with wide tracker community support. What is the benefit of removing useful information to penniless musicians from Misplaced Pages? I will be happy to make any suggested changes, I think it'd be a shame to delete an article referenced in so many others. Please give me some time and I will find more articles that reference it. Can someone tell me what kind of references Misplaced Pages is looking for? Every time I add a bunch of references they get deleted.DasKreestof (talk) 19:45, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Create Digital Music appears to qualify as WP:RS, even if barely ; it was noted by other computing publications, like PC World and PC Magazine and non-computing ones like Boing Boing and Popular Science. Pcap ping 19:57, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep. I have added additional academic paper references, and references from other magazines and sites. The references now total at 17. I read about Milkytracker first in a hard copy magazine, but I can't remember which one. This software is notable because it's the most widely ported music app, and no one here will be able to name another music application that has been ported to Windows, Linux, MacOS, PocketPC Amiga, and even sharp Zauros. In fact, I'll bet no one can name ANY app (not just music) that has been ported to so many platforms. It's true there aren't hundreds of articles in the Wall Street Journal about it, but that's true of all non-commercial software. It sets a bad precedent for wikipedia to deny coverage to anything that doesn't have significant commercial backing and press behind it, especially in an age where open source can become a source of liberation and innovation. This page has 17 references, a google search came back with 128,000 results; if you look at the page you'll see that it has a significant edit history (not including me) which means that it's clearly of interest to many individuals using wikipedia. It's also referenced in many other wikipedia articles. DasKreestof (talk) 14:19, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

  • Comment. I'm not that sure that Create Digital Music can be considered a reliable source. A somewhat glorified blog is still a blog, and being included into one of "the Top 100 Blogs We Love" and "the Top 100 Undiscovered Sites" by PC Magazine is hardly a dependable way of establishing reputation for fact-checking, accuracy and journalistic integrity. — Rankiri (talk) 16:44, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep I have managed to find an online review of this software at Orju.net, a site that is "geared towards electronic and computer based musicians". This software is special interest and finding mainstream media coverage is very difficult, however the software is widely known and is indeed notable in the Demoscene and is a popular application for creating music in the XM (file format). 82.69.1.239 (talk) 12:56, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

The consensus would seem to indicate that regardless of whether the software is notable or not, the author of that software is not, as there is insufficient evidence at reliable sources. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 23:47, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Delete. This is, in effect, an unsourced WP:BLP article. There are lots of links and such, but most of them do not even substantiate any of the claims being made, and the remainder aren't really what one would or should consider reliable third party sources.

While not ignoring the 3 keep !votes, I note that this is (from those very same !votes) a newly named instrument with no real references available. The issue is not whether it exists (no one doubts this), or whether it should be covered somewhere - it is whether it meets the notability criteria for inclusion here - as someone said, Misplaced Pages is not a directory of everything that exists (or has existed). The comments here (both keep and delete) indicate that information is not verifiable from reliable sources, as this information is not available for such a new instrument. This being the case, I do not see that this subject meets the criteria for inclusion at this time. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 15:48, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Contested prod. Evidently non-notable invention from a non-notable inventor. While a tiny number of websites discuss this, there are zero gnews hits and zero relevant google books hits. This doesn't mean it doesn't exist, but it isn't encyclopedic. tedder (talk) 05:19, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

  • Keep. I own two sonomes, both Axis-49s, and present information about them in my alternate-keyboard website MusicScienceGuy.vox.com (it's hosted on a blog for convenience, but don't be fooled) and was sufficiently motivated about their potential to contact the people involved and standardize names and start the ball rolling on these articles. I plan to expand this series of articles to cover all commonly used note-array keyboards, so people using Misplaced Pages can judge which is best for their needs. Note-array alternate keyboards are very new (the technology to make them has become affordable), but they offer profound advantages over standard keyboards and could become very popular. The reason the search hit rate is low is that we've just standardized on naming. MusicScienceGuy (talk) 06:31, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep as Xj said I own a Sonome keyboard myself: an Opal Chameleon invented by Peter Davies and built by him with electronics engineer Jim Wills. It's correct that these 'alternate keyboards are very new' but I don't think it's a good reason to delete this article from Misplaced Pages. —Iranief • contribs 07:37, 4 February 2010 — Iranief (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
  • Comment the issue here isn't that they exist. The issue is if they meet Misplaced Pages's notability guidelines. Specifically, are there reliable and verifiable third-party sources discussing it? tedder (talk) 07:48, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
  • Comment Note that I have added strong evidence of notability in the links to some users of the system and in the Taxonomy of Realtime Interfaces for Electronic Music Performance article. Also, This is a new musical instrument - owners are busy learning how to play them and use them in novel way. The scholarly articles will appear in 2-5 years. I have a article proposal in to New Scientist, but that will take time to get published. Ken. MusicScienceGuy (talk) 17:57, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
  • CommentRegarding the PROD: The reason the sonome is not mentioned much in the web because I just recently got all the users of the novel keyboard together and got them to agree on a standard: sonome for the instrument, and harmonic table for the note-array layout. Before this, the names were all over the map. Imagine the confusion in the early days of the guitar when it was also known as a tanbur, setar and sitar, among other names. This is early in this instrument's life-cycle. Interest is increasing now that an affordable commercial unit is available. MusicScienceGuy (talk 23:28, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
  • Comment As predicted, now that the sonome has become a standard, agreed upon term, the name is now popping up. Here is a link to a brand-new sonome, created in software. New mention. http://www.novation-launchpad.com/index.php/apps-software/launchpad-harmonic-table-controller/ - it is worth viewing. Is not a whole software application nontrivial? MusicScienceGuy (talk) 18:39, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
  • Comment In case it is not clear, the term Sonome is the general term describing the class of instruments made by different companies which includes the Axis-64, Axis-49 and Chamelon MIDI controllers. These themselves are a category of hexagonal array keyboard instruments. Various forms of hexagonal array keyboard instruments have been around for over 100 years. The Sonome design has a particular layout and configuration and specific key size and shape that is especially useful. There are other examples of hexagonal keyboards which are not Sonomes. The Sonome is one of the first to actually be a commercial success, being available and widely used by musicians. Saying that there is no reliable third party discussion of these instruments is completely false. The people stating there is no coverage have either not properly researched this by following provided links, or have an ulterior motive for censoring these articles. Well regarded print and web publications such as electronic musician have covered them. Here is a link to an e-m web video covering a Sonome at the NAMM show. http://emusician.com/videos/events/c_thru_axis/. Here's one at Synthtopia http://www.synthtopia.com/content/2008/05/12/the-c-thru-music-axis-64-control-keyboard/ Xj (talk) 02:04, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
  • Comment -- Whichever way this turns out, there are a whole set of related articles. Possibly a compromise would be to just add a small amount of this material on alternative keyboards to an established related article. Maurreen (talk) 06:33, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
  • Comment Thank you Maurreen. Perhaps a compromise can be arranged. The whole area of alternate keyboards needs a review, and perhaps a new classification of "Tonal-Array keyboards" needs to be set up (Isomorphic keyboards are a subset of this). Another would be to just postpone the deletion by 6 months to a year, to allow the print world to catch up. This would give us (particularly myself) strong incentive to write the New Scientist article that has been suggested. MusicScienceGuy (talk) 18:39, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
MSG, in that case, a good way to do it would be to (a) put the article in your userspace (see WP:UFY) and move it back 'live' when it's ready. In the meantime, having a small subsection in an existing article would be appropriate. tedder (talk) 18:51, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
  • Must Keep. This is a non-standard instrument that needs to be represented in an encyclopedia. Where else, if not here? I'm a composer, music professor and microtone aficionado, and while I don't own this instrument myself, I'm very tempted to buy one for my school, the Hamburg Hochschule für Musik und Theater. I'm organizing an international symposium in Boston (March 7 - 9, 2010), and one of the featured instruments will actually be a sonome!! Georghajdu (Georghajdu) 06:48, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
  • Comment The above is a live, realtime example of the value of these entries to Misplaced Pages users, especially researchers like Georg_Hajdu. The commercial sites are too focused on their own product to give background information and a good or unbyassed overview, just as the Stratocaster website doubtless does not have a decent overview of what a guitar is. A wikipedia entry supplies that vital information. Without the entry Dr. Hajdu would not have a way to know about the sonome class of instruments. MusicScienceGuy (talk) 00:47, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
  • Comment There is a note that Iranief is a "Single-purpose account". Iranief is actually the pen name of Carlo Serafini, a very prominent composer in the microtonal music world. Don't judge by the fact he does not do much in Misplaced Pages. I consider it fortunate that I got his support. MusicScienceGuy (talk) 01:03, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep. The sonome hasn't been around long enough for music academics to really take notice of it. There are no published theoretical stidies of it to source, and there are also no instructors of sonome playing. What there are is the websites of the companies that make the keyboards, and a handful of websites created by players and music students who have taken an interest in the harmonic table layout. A Google search of "sonome" will not turn up all of them, since the name was only recently settled-on by the playing community. The lack of sources available is because the sonome is new, not because it's unimportant or "unencyclopedic". I have been playing for 8 months and I wish they'd had these when I was younger! I think it's hypocritical to suggest "anyone can edit" Misplaced Pages if someone may be told they're wrong on the basis that their contribution isn't interesting enough. Complicated templates and nonsense words like "unencyclopedic" only serve to discourage non-academics from contributing perfectly good knowledge. Envergure (talk) 23:33, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
Anyone can edit Misplaced Pages, but Misplaced Pages is not a directory of everything that exists or has existed. tedder (talk) 00:06, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
  • Delete per User:Envergure. They may not have meant to, but they have persuasively argued for this item's non-notability: "The sonome hasn't been around long enough for music academics to really take notice of it. There are no published theoretical stidies of it to source, and there are also no instructors of sonome playing. What there are is the websites of the companies that make the keyboards, and a handful of websites created by players and music students who have taken an interest in the harmonic table layout." In other words, there are no reliable sources and no significance yet. Georghajdu's !vote only argues that the current article may be effective as spam. — Gwalla | Talk 00:24, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
  • Comment Another academic citation has come up. Formerly they used the term axis, as they did not have generic name, whence it was missed by searches. Having read this article, they have switched to sonome(and that will be the standard name, I gather, henchforth). Axis + "bohlen-pierce" gives 7,760 hits, "axis-64" keyboard: 2,090 "axis-49" keyboard: 5,710 The sonome has also been reviewed by Sound-on-Sound and Music Tech magazines, to name a few. MusicScienceGuy (talk) 00:32, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
    • Where's the citation? Are you confusing the term "google hits" with "academic citations"? See WP:RS for examples of reliable sources. tedder (talk) 00:36, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
    • The citation was added to the sonome article: about the upcoming Bohlen-Pierce Symposium. It is right after the Taxonony of Realtime Interfaces, and just before the list of researchers using the instrument. Google hits is, of course, not a substitute for academic citations. However, the google hit rate, given that we have just changed the name from Axis-something to the generic sonome was added as an indicator of the actual usage level of sonomes.

Only 75 hits for this genre on Google and many of them seem to be the same 2 or 3 sites mirrored over and over. It seems to be more a neologism rather then a genre. Totally unreferenced and basically unchanged since 2005. Ridernyc (talk) 01:45, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Unsourced BLP, previously prod'd. Extant externs and ref are not about the person, they are about the music (and one extern is 404). Delete as inappropriate for inclusion. Jack Merridew 22:24, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

  • Delete - as policy apparently sees this as a keep (see above), I'll go per WP:IAR. The albums this guy released aren't what I think the music policy cited above is about, they're not significant at all (cf. the lack of sources) even if released with a big label.

  • Delete. I've made a fair effort to find sources for this individual and cannot find much more than a track listing for an album he was involved in. That is not enough to substantiate a WP:BLP article by any means. Feel free to drop me a line if sources are somehow magically found. JBsupreme (talk) 23:22, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Entirely unsourced blp (i don't see a link to a primary source website as a reliable source at all) without an assertion of notability even on a video game musician. Part of an extensive walled garden of similiar unsourced blps. Was deprodded by an ip who couldn't demonstrate notability or reliably source it either.

  • I'm sorry. I never liked that criteria. Just releasing is weak. When you consider the number of "one hit wonders" out there, if you release 2 albums and still can't chart anything, that makes you look even less notable to me. Niteshift36 (talk) 14:42, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Unreferenced (the 4 references are promotional) BLP article in which the only claims to notability are "hosting parties" and "extensive radio airplay".

Delete. Here lies yet another indiscriminate list which clearly violates WP:NOT. I have a wheelbarrow here full of WP:TROUT for anyone who disagrees. JBsupreme (talk) 21:36, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

In using the word "indiscriminate", we aren't saying that the description is vague. Instead, it's a matter of whether there is information to between one musical artist from Japan and another musical artist from Japan. My feeling is that lists should be able to impart at least some information about the significance of a blue linked name; by analogy, List of Presidents of the United States would have clearly defined criteria for inclusion, but would be uninformative without some information to separate them (such as when they served in office). In this case, even a one word mention as to whether they're classical artists, pop music, etc. would be feasible. Mandsford (talk) 16:35, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
As far as I can tell, this is a pretty good example of an Index of articles as defined on WP:LIST, and comparable to others in the linked category. And as noted above, WP:CLN explicitly says that lists and categories are complementary (if I have the right spelling of that). —Quasirandom (talk) 16:25, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

  • Keep Definitely not indiscriminate. Qualifies as an index of articles under WP:LIST. --Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 01:17, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
    • Comment Of course, my argument relies on the need to remove those (very few) red links present in the list. I think musicians should only be listed here if they have an article currently. (The alternative fix is to make stubs for them after verifying they meet WP:ENT or similar.) --Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 01:20, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
  • DELETE I'm inclined to agree with JBsupreme on this one. It doesn't pass WP:LIST it has no lead section, doesn't provide any useable information regarding the artists on the list (only wikilinks to their articles). Here's a great test to see if a list is worthy of inclusion or not. Could it be replaced by a Category? If yes then the list doesn't pass WP:LIST and should be deleted. If it actually adds information and value above and beyond what creating a category then it potentially has a brighter future. Nefariousski (talk) 01:28, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
    • Comment There's an interesting point here: I would disagree that it can be replaced by a category for the simple reason that there's too many articles. It's still not indiscriminate but it is a lot. The list can (and does) show these entries in a way no category could: In a well-formatted manner all on one page. This is, in fact, another point at WP:LISTPURP. I do agree that there should be a lede section, but this is something that can be fixed. --Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 07:46, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep. Looks like a perfectly valid list. Again, categories, lists, and navigation templates are three different ways to group and organize articles. The grouping of articles by one method neither requires nor forbids the use of the other methods for the same informational grouping. — Rankiri (talk) 00:44, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
  • Keep and improve by including the type of music and perhaps some other useful information. This list is clearly acceptable per WP:LISTS. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 06:09, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete under WP:CSD#A7 as this list lacks any verifiable source to identify it as being suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages, let alone a verifiable defintion to demonstrate that this is, in some way, a culturally significant cross-categorization. This list fails the basic principle that Misplaced Pages is not a directory of everything that exists or has existed. --Gavin Collins (talk|contribs) 17:18, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
  • I'm sorry but your argument it preposterous. If you have doubts that Japanese musical professionals are culturally significant, try searching for their coverage on Google News and Google Books. You can also take a look at , as well as the inclusion guidelines of WP:SAL#Lists of people. — Rankiri (talk) 14:41, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
