Non-notable standalone band member. Refs are passing mentions, 404's and social media. Fails WP:SIGCOV. scope_creep^Talk 07:24, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree about the non-notability claim. Balassiano is the lead singer and songwriter of the most popular female rock group in Israel today. Furthermore, she has recently launched her solo career with a debut solo album to her name. --Omer Toledano (talk) 08:43, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Omert33:She has launched a solo career. Were you paid to create the article per chance? scope_creep^Talk 09:20, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Scope creep: Pertaining your question, no I did not get paid. I've simply been following her career and see her as a person of interest. Why all this aggressive scrutiny? --Omer Toledano (talk) 13:07, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Lets examine the references as they stand:

Ref 1 [1] 404. Non-rs
Ref 2 [2] Details The Wolves. An analaysis of one of there songs. It is a passing mention.
Ref 3 [3] "The Wolves are the girl gang we all want". Is is another passing mention in the context of the band.
Ref 4 [4] This is an event listing. It is non-RS.
Ref 5 [5] Another 404
Ref 6 Facebook link. Non-RS

That is the first two ref blocks. The other ref block is more of the same. These are not real sources, a mix of 404, social media links and passing mentions for a WP:BLP. Fails WP:SIGCOV. scope_creep^Talk 09:20, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Haze'evot. Yawn! There is a heated notability discussion above, by references instead of sources, and this discussion is entirely beside the point because the article should be merged regardless of notability. Yifat Balassiano is a CURRENT member of Haze'vot. This band is undisputedly notable and has a too short article. Balassiano also did some solo recordings and obviously was born, went to school, and the like. All that, minus every track of her solo albums, can be included in Haze'evot without creating a situation of WP:UNDUE and without creating the need to rehash the entire Haze'evot history once again. Did I just say once again? Make that TWICE again because exactly the same problems at the article of yet another band member, Talia Ishai. Merge them all. Both are totally unjustified WP:SPINOFFs, creating a user experience from hell, where the user needs to chase after bits and pieces of information, while stuff is unnecessarily repeated. This is not respectful. As if our users can't hold onto information or be exposed to more information at once. gidonb (talk) 18:44, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Solo album constitutes the "demonstration of individual notability". --Omer Toledano (talk) 08:51, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Having a solo album doesn't constitute notability in this instance, particularly since the coverage proves the album has not been successful, and that is further reinforced by the complete lack of social media interest. There is nothing there. 69 subscribers on youtube. Nothing. This is the editor who moved the article from Afc without review. scope_creep^Talk 09:15, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Added references to album review. --Omer Toledano (talk) 04:21, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Comment The supposed album review is to a niche radio site that is not WP:RS nor independent. It is PR. This is a WP:BLP. Where is the WP:THREE sources that prove the person is notable per established best practice per consensus. Not passing mentions or event listings or interviews. scope_creep^Talk 09:01, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment So far no evidence has presented that this person is notable. scope_creep^Talk 14:00, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I don't see notability for this person. Making an album these days is as simple as uploading songs to the streaming platform of your choice, not really implying notability. Ok if it gets redirected to the band. Oaktree b (talk) 15:59, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Further to my conclusions in this debate, I have nominated Talia Ishai for merger into Haze'evot. Anyone who found interest in this discussion may find interest in that other discussion as well. gidonb (talk) 01:21, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No indication of notability. Jacona (talk) 00:59, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. How about redirecting as an ATD and compromise. This is what we did with Talia Ishai. Any objections to the same solution? gidonb (talk) 01:36, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
