Knút Háberg Eysturstein

A self-promotional bio that I think has failed to meet WP:VERIFY and WP:NN. Ships at a Distance (talk) 17:17, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The language used might be discussed but there are now several different references posted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Knytil (talk • contribs) 23:45, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not much happening here huh? How long are these debates usually taking? --Knytil (talk) 02:24, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Problem is, none of these references are from things other than blogs, or myspace pages, or other user-contributed sites. Is there no coverage from newspapers and magazines at all? Did he play at Summarfestivalurin? And what about the record company, Tutl? Is that notable? (I'm asking editors to please weigh in on this one.) Drmies (talk) 15:54, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Geiger.dk and Rambles.net are not user contributed. They are online music magazines. I also just included a review from Gaffa.dk, the biggest music magazine in Denmark. NOT user contributed. Did not play at Summarfestivalurin but did play at G! Festival in 2005 and again in 2008. Summarfestivalurin and G! Festival are the two biggest festivals in the Faroe Islands. Summarfestivalurin is family oriented and mainstream, while G! is youth oriented and progressive in musical choice (which should explain why). Artists that have played at G! Festival are listed here http://www.gfestival.com/index.php?id=23 am listed both as performing band (Knút Háberg Eysturstein) and as performing DJ (Knýtil). I also have to say that I find it a bit weird that this particular article is subject to such scrutiny and "strict protocol" while so many of my peers have articles with similar or even much fever references, but those articles remain untouched and without comment. Is this something new? Has Wikipedia article control increased greatly recently? Or is it just a matter of chance?--Knytil (talk) 18:05, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

the link to the review at G! Mini 2008 is not working in the article (don't know why), so here it is again; http://www.gfestival.com/index.php?id=31&tx_ttnews[pointer]=2&tx_ttnews[tt_news]=505&tx_ttnews[backPid]=29&cHash=36a8d5dc05 --Knytil (talk) 18:13, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. WP:N and lack of WP:RS. The attempts to create notability in the article (his album is for sale on the web! he won a contest giving him studio time!) pretty much demonstrate the lack of it. THF (talk) 00:58, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep for me, despite Knytil's ad hominem comments here. I imagine it's not easy to get a lot of press coverage as an indie/folk/electronic artist from way over yonder, and I'm willing to see the glass as half full. I've added a source or two to the article and cleaned it up some; two of the reviews of the album are from US sources that, while perhaps barely notable, indicate some appreciation in this niche market. BTW, Knytil, I fixed that link that didn't work. Drmies (talk) 05:21, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
