[edit] Mingo ambient musician

I can find no indication of notability, and these websites hardly constitute reliable sources. The article does not assert notability, and Ghits are virtually non-existent. At any rate would seem to fail WP:MUSIC. Moreschi 18:52, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete Fails WP:MUSIC. —ShadowHalo 22:58, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

  • When I do a google search for this article title, I find several pages of hits. In addition to the websites listed, there are reliable print publications cited. The New age reporter and Hearts of space websites are definitive sources on this subject.— Urbanaaron (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
You do? That's funny, since I don't. --ElaragirlTalk|Count 18:52, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Has charted in top 10 and top 40 on national music charts, including the US and other countries, Has been placed in rotation nationally by major radio network, in this case NPR, both syndicated programs and NPR affiliate programs of notability, eg. hos and starsend. Keep Passes WP:MUSIC. Jorgetribe 21:00, 15 December 2006 (UTC) — Jorgetribe (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
  • Very Weak Keep There IS no story at WCF Courier, according to their archives. Self-published albums are not notable and are specifically said to fail WP:MUSIC. I can't find any link to any national music chart that is a real music chart and not someone's website who's listing his favorite artists. Artist is in rotation at NPR, source here. Artist is listed at Billboard.com but has no top 10 or top 40 mentions that I can find. This needs more solid sourcing and his album label is skirting the thin rim of non-notability. --ElaragirlTalk|Count 18:48, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
  • I'm on the fence. Ambient music has been around awhile, but it's still pretty obscure. It would be hard to prove even more well known musicians. Example, i just did a search for steve roach and it comes up with the same references cited in this article. But roach has been at it for 30 years and has several cd's. So, I'd say keep in maybe in a few years if this person is still around, but maybe not now. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.211.247.112 (talk) 20:48, 18 December 2006 (UTC).
  • Delete non-notable, self-published musician in a obscure subgenre of music that also fails WP:MUSIC. Junk. NeoFreak 13:17, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
  • That's a bad argument to say the genre fails, because if that were true then there would be a lot of cleaning up to do. Examples ambient music hearts of space, steve roach, robert rich —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.211.165.114 (talk) 20:21, 19 December 2006 (UTC).
    • Because a subject or genre is notable enough to have a page does not mean that anyone involved with that subject is notable. I am a Marine, the Marine Corps is notable, should I get a page as well? NeoFreak 21:42, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
  • I think the article fails, but you stated the genre also fails. I don't agree with that. This should have nothing to do with the genre. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.211.165.114 (talk) 21:54, 19 December 2006 (UTC).
    • I said that it was an obscure subgenre, it didn't say it wasn't notable. As a matter of fact if anything I implied it was notable with my last post so please don't put words in my mouth. NeoFreak 22:15, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
