[edit] Notability and encyclopedic worth

Notability: Music

1. Articles on music-related topics should have all of the following qualities:
   1. content—significant and useful information;
   2. encyclopedic tone—written in an informative, precise and well organized fashion;
   3. historical awareness—informs the reader of the historical and cultural context of the topic;
   4. notability—exhibits, documents and explains encyclopedic significance; and
   5. objectivity—neutral in depth and breadth of coverage, in choice of content, and in presentation and phrasing.
2. Articles on musicians, bands and other performers in the modern era should meet the criteria at WP:MUSIC.
   1. Albums and songs do not have any generally accepted specific criteria. This does not mean that all albums or songs are inherently notable, but rather that each should be decided on a case-by-case basis.
   2. There are proposed guidelines for songs as well. There may be discussion or proposals for record labels, albums and genres in the future.
