[edit] Dan Papirany Trio

I am unsure this article meets it's burden re: WP:NOTABILITY. It's certainly not asserted well. It's also unencyclopaedic and I worry if this material was removed whether there would be much left of this bio. MidgleyDJ 11:37, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete/Move The article appears to be written by the subject of the article. According to the linked website the Dan Papirany Trio were nominated for a prize, not the artist himself, so this does not seem to qualify as notable for the artist? The Radio New Zealand website has no mention of Dan Papirany that I can find. The Trio would appear to have made a number of albums and may meet WP:MUSIC, perhaps the article should become one on the Trio? Rich257 12:39, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
• This article has a new focus (the trio rather than the artist), it has a reference to the radio interview mentioned above, and also a music sample of the trio, can the article title change to "Dan Papirany Trio"? if it's possible, how do you change it? And would this change satisfy the notability issue?Papdt 21:57, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
• In my view, yes, I think the WP:MUSIC criteria have been met for the Trio.

  You can rename a page using the move tab at the top of the page, see also Help:Moving a page. However I would probably suggest that this AfD process comes to a conclusion first as it might get a bit confusing otherwise? What do others think?

  Papdt, please sign your comments, using ~~~~, see also "Sign your name:" below the editing box, thank you! Rich257 21:35, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:MUSIC. The JPS^{talk to me} 09:51, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
• I've renamed the article, and the AFD discussion, for you. Uncle G 12:11, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, notability (via albums released, awards nominated for and interviews) seem to me to establish notability. Akradecki 19:14, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep The canonical website allmusic.com has an entry for Dan Papirany. If he shows up there, he's atleast made a blip (however small) on the music scene. That proves he's atleast has an album in widespread release. His notability is marginal, but it can be verified. The writing is crap, but the subject meets baseline notability standards. A rewrite (with citations) would help quality. --Jayron32 20:40, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
