A SALUTE TO GREATNESS Anonymous
Wikipedia deleted the page for DJ Sharpnel, citing a lack of notability.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DJ_Sharpnel

Notability? HA! Indeed, what is notability? Is it the look on a small child's face he first hears "Blue Army"? Is it the joy a young man feels when he blasts "LONLY LONLY" from the stereo of his 1994 Honda Civic as he drives around a strange neighborhood at 3 AM? Is notability to be found in the sweat that forms on the brow of the stoned college student as he plays "Exciting Hyper Highspeed Star" on Audiosurf?

No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man’s and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns, they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water.

You guys cannot begin to imagine what we editors have to deal with every single day, the things we see people put up. . . Which is why there's a perfectly valid reason why you can't put just about anything on Wikipedia. Allow people to do so and they would turn the site into another free ads Facebook in a matter of hours.
I could name you at least eight self published, popular, NOTABLE musicians whose career, spanning over 20 years, earns them their keep, and they cannot have a wiki article.

Besides, nobody really listens to this DJshrapnel crap.

They think they actually represent the public SO if they havent heard of something or they dont find it interesting then there must be a "lack of notability".
Are they like lacking on server space? GTFO.

You either follow the same standards for all articles or dont.
I know other DJs who have articles on wikipedia and pretty much have the same exposure than Sharpnel.

A SALUTE TO MODERN ELEVATOR MUSIC (or is it MUZAK)?

Be real with thy uncreative self and realize that the shit put out by these "artists" is nothing more than pap for the masses.

It is akin to "The magical Flute" which was written for the masses by Mozart for a few florins. Thou art capable of sucking a bowling ball through 30 feet of garden house. Truly say I that that is a mighty sucketh indeed!
>> Anonymous
>>270544
My fiend, I note that you use the term "garden house" did you not mean "garden hose"?

Yes, what you say about the posers and "mixeurs" (amateur mixers) of today's pathetic music scene are most astute and the reference to Mozart is accurate. But do permit these poor plebes the life chance of evolving to the plane of existence upon which you so readily claim to aspire.

Wikipedia is ALREADY facebook. Like people are saying there are scores of far less notable articles that nobody has bothered to do anything about. In the face of that deleting the page of a popular artist who really probably DOES fit the criteria* if you weren't too lazy to do actual research is insulting. And calling it a "hobby" in spite of the fact that these guys are highly successful, been around for a while, and make a living off of their music is bigoted. Especially for the simple reason that they don't belong to a major label.

OP:
Start a SharpnelSound page, one that centers around the production company, so any debates can argue with sales figures, something they'll lose to. From there, the source-dependent pages(artists, discography, etc.) will have an established article to form a base from, keeping them from deletion.

Also, Sharpnel did Komiket '08. How's that for noteworthy?

Wikipedia has a broom up their ass and sand in their cunts, but they have to. "Notability" is not a concept of "LOL I LISTEN 2 IT, STFU FAGS!" Their standard of it is laid out pretty damn clearly there. Don't read the nutshell - read the detail.

Point taken. Both sides have valid arguments. Either somebody make a new one and provide proof of notability that meets the guidelines or lurk DJ Sharpnel's entry in the electronic music wiki. Either way-

It IS published under a label. Just because the two guys that make up DJ Sharpnel are also the owners of Sharpnel Sound doesn't mean Sharpnel Sound isn't a real label.

They publish a few other artists' work as well, for instance m1dy and killingscum.

LONLY LONLY is the best. I love it. I loooove it. Mainly because I also love LONELY LONELY LONELY LOLIs

"DATA DRAIN" and "PANTS" are the "We Will Rock You" and "We are the Champions" of Sharpnel. Even though they don't really have anything to do with each other (apart from the fact that they appear together on the album), they must be listened to together.

"Torinouta [The Speedfreak's Noise Rave Remix]" is incredibly balanced and fun to listen to. One of the few Sharpnel songs I would feel proud to share with people who don't necessarily like gabber. Excellent driving music.

"Policy in the Sky" is very funny for an old weeaboo like myself, who grew up pirating the Japanese Sailor Moon soundtracks through a 56 kbps modem.

I like "Hot Pepperz" for some reason.

"20031023" is great, if only for the fucking hilarious choice in sampling. Listen to it and see what I mean.

I had "SF-R" as my ringtone for the longest time. Cool song.

"Powerpuff Gabberz" is very funny.

Uhh... "Puriny Squad" is cool.

"The Bird Song (Luftinfektion mix)" is nice.

That's all that comes to mind right now. I'm sure there are others that have slipped my mind. Enjoy.

Oh, and SRPC-0015 is a "best of"album of sorts, so I guess you can't go wrong listening to the whole thing.

Shrapnel is pure win. Wikipedia is made of epic fail if they can't understand keeping him in. But don't worry. There's always Deleteopedia. "Buh?," you say? Well, let me fill you in:
>Deletionpedia is an archive of about 63,504 pages which have been deleted from the English-language Wikipedia.

Yeah, these criteria suck. Essentially if it isn't top 40 crap, then chances are the artist or singer can be pulled. This rewards mediocrity.

What about nerdly objectives of popularity? The number of rapidshares or megauploads? The number of torrents, their permanence, and the number of MB/day of transfers?

Or the number of Otaku references per song? Something. Anything.

Doujin artists aren't notable by anyone's criteria. Most of them, anyway. Don't get it wrong, Sharpnel is the rare exception, not the rule.
>> Anonymous
>>271051
that is a bit harsh, if non where notable then the whole comiket and other doujin-markets wouldn't exist. I'm not implying that doujin artists are all noteworthy, there is of course a lot of mediocre or even bad stuff out there. I was more referring to the mode of doujin: fan created (fan) contend. Even if a very good/popular artist created and product through self publication and becomes bigger than any other artist which wiki finds noteworthy, as long as the artist doesn't involve in the "commercial" market by wiki criteria the artist isn't noteworthy.

Notability has nothing to do with how good something is though, you can have really bad stuff that's well-known and thus, notable. Or really good stuff that few people know about which is not notable.

The issue isn't whether or not it's good, but how popular it is. Most indie/doujin artists aren't notable even if they're very good because so few of them are as popular as the mainstream artists.

SOME of them are though, Sharpnel is one of them, in my opinion.

The tracks are a lot closer to each other in terms of the style, maybe some might say that's boring, but there's not as much unlistenable /dev/urandom as with his previous albums.

It's awesome.

Yes, I wasn't making any issues about quality, even popularity isn't the dictating criteria by wiki's standards. If you would follow the wiki criteria, and to illustrate, for example an artist which has had local success in a relatively small country would be considered notable while an artist distributing his work globally through self publishing or the use of internet would be not. Even if the number of listeners of the former artist surpasses that of the first one.
