Janette Geri[edit]

Article was deleted in January 2007 and recreated a week or so later with some additional content. Main editor User:Halftonerecords appears to have a conflict of interest through username [1] and states he is Geri's husband. Article was proded today on the basis of it not meeting WP:MUSIC and contested by Halftonerecords. I believe that the subject is a non-notable singer songwriter according to our notability inclusion criteria. —Moondyne 08:15, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It seems to me that [2] satisfies #11 on the list at WP:MUSIC. Xiong Chiamiov ::contact:: ^help! 09:42, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete seems to fail WP:MUSIC and a web search doesn't bring up much to support her being notable or "internationally acclaimed" despite the record company's claims. Mostly being promoted by their own sites, article is a promo/ad piece from husband/company. If kept, smack the creator with a COI tag or something and see if a neutral editor, maybe from the music project, will "adopt" to clean up and keep an eye on it.Collectonian (talk) 12:07, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Nn music artist, seems to also fail WP:MUSIC. STORMTRACKER 94 12:30, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Quite notable according to Google hits. Music is featured on Rhapsody.com which is Real Audio's music sales portal similar to iTunes and you don't just say "Hey! I want to sell my music on Rhapsody!" and it's done. Several other notable hits including the Australian government, numerous radio and TV stations, and several colleges/universities. While I got into issue with User:Halftonerecords over the spam links and promotional statements of the article, we eventually cleared that up and he knows what Wikipedia is not. The subject herself however, is notable. -- ALLSTARecho 17:04, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per ALLSTAR. Dr.K. (talk) 17:53, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, meets criteria 11 of WP:MUSIC through rotation on ABC Radio National. The lack of Google sources is probably explained by the fact that she was big before the Internet came around, and also occupies a rather niche sub-genre. Lankiveil (talk) 03:23, 22 December 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Comment No one said "lack" of Google hits. I said "quite notable according to Google hits". That means I found lots of Google hits for her. ;) -- ALLSTARecho 04:02, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
