:({{Find sources AFD|title=ALAIZ collective}})

Article about a music production collective, not properly sourced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. The main notability claim being attempted here is that they and artists they have worked with exist, which is not automatically notable enough to guarantee a Wikipedia article in and of itself -- but the article is referenced almost entirely to directly affiliated primary sources and glancing namechecks of ALAIZ in coverage of the individual artists, with little to no evidence of any WP:GNG-worthy coverage about ALAIZ in its own right.
The article was, further, heavily weighed down with entirely inappropriate offsite links to the self-published webpages of individual artists named in the body text, as well as quoteboxes highlighting cherry-picked promotional quotes for PR purposes, all of which I've already had to remove as WP:ELNO violations.
Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt them from having to have a stronger notability claim than just existing, and better sourcing for it than has been provided. Bearcat (talk) 17:55, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

::Update: Article has been expanded (by, unsurprisingly, the same editor who's attempting to bludgeon this discussion below), but they're still not getting it: the writing tone is now much more heavily advertorialized than the initial "this is a thing that exists, the end" that I described at the time of nomination, and the sourcing is still depending entirely on a mix of primary sources that aren't support for notability at all and glancing namechecks of ALAIZ's existence in sources that are not about ALAIZ — both of which mean that they've made the article worse, not better.

Delete: unencyclopedic tone with lots of trivial, irrelevant, and trite information, inadequate references independent of the subject, notability not established. Fails to meet WP:GNG, Wikipedia:Notability (music). Ira Leviton (talk) 14:14, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

Keep Going to reply based on Notability_(music) requirements - please excuse poor formatting, I am pressed for time but will come back to edit, didn't want to lose out on replying. The page is about the collective which is very notable across international borders in the hip-hop community.They inspired future Artists & producers.

Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself.

• This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, online versions of print media, and television documentaries except for the following:

• Any reprints of press releases, other publications where the musician or ensemble talks about themselves, and all advertising that mentions the musician or ensemble, including manufacturers' advertising.
• Articles in a school or university newspaper (or similar), in most cases.

• Is an ensemble that contains two or more independently notable musicians, or is a musician who has been a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles.
• This should be adapted appropriately for musical genre; for example, having performed two lead roles at major opera houses. Note that this criterion needs to be interpreted with caution, as there have been instances where this criterion was cited in a circular manner to create a self-fulfilling notability loop (e.g., musicians who were "notable" only for having been in two bands, of which one or both were "notable" only because those musicians had been in them.)

YES.

• Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability.

::Notability is not a question of the things the article says, it's a question of the quality of the sources that the article uses to support the things it says. Primary sourcing self-published by people directly affiliated with the claims doesn't cut it, blogs don't cut it, and sources that briefly mention ALAIZ without being about ALAIZ don't cut it. We need to see coverage about ALAIZ (not about artists who've worked with ALAIZ, but about ALAIZ qua ALAIZ) in reliable sources, which means real, established media, not just any webpage you can find with the word "ALAIZ" in it.
