[edit] Stolen Mix Tape

Stolen Mix Tape (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

The way this is described, it's kind of a precursor to itunes for the independent musician. This is good, but what I see out there in a quick google test is that there's a lot of usage - but no notability. Article seems a bit on the spammy side. Created a month and a half ago, no recent changes to bring it up to standard have been taken on. Shall we discuss? --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 06:23, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. Reading this article, I find little evidence that it's actually notable. Being primarily a music download site, it should fall under the same notability guidelines as websites and companies, and I see no evidence of this. The contributors to this page have listed some features of this site they claim are unique (not independently sourced, though), but fancy features do not a notable entity make. Further, I'm suspicious of any article in which an editor actually wrote "The Stolen Mix Tape download store is notable because..." Further, carrying music from notable artists and bands does not make one notable. I wouldn't consider notable every store that ever sold a Beatles album, nor would I consider notable even those stores that an actual Beatle walked into. It's not terribly hard to establish notability for a company that is actually notable, so without independent claims of such I must endorse deletion. Someguy1221 06:58, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - WP:NOT and it reads like an advertisement. No claims of notability. Ibanix 21:21, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
