Has twice been to AfD as N/C in 2016 and 2017, but given the significant changes in notability since then, it's time to revisit it. I am unable to find anywhere near the depth of sourcing required for N:ORG which appears to be the best barometer for this database. Star Mississippi 23:47, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the nom doesn't make sense, notability does not degrade over time. microbiologyMarcus ^{(petri dish·growths)} 16:51, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Added some sources. A simple Google search of "Database of Recorded American Music" brings up oodles of university sites that provide access to this database. There's no doubt this is notable. The link I added from The Recording Industry Association of America® (RIAA) has a pretty impressive graph of 1973-2022 sales. — Maile (talk) 01:16, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
