'''Very few musicians are suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia.''' <br />
<br />
There are millions of musicians in the world, but only a small percentage of them are appropriate for Wikipedia. There must be enough reliable, third-party information about a musician to demonstrate public interest in him or her or a band. If a musician meets at least one of the items below, they may merit their own Wikipedia article, as there is probably a lot of verifiable information available about them and a lot of public interest in them. This list shows examples of level of [[Wikipedia:Notability (summary)|notability]] required for Wikipedia:<br />
<br />

<br />
A '''musician or ensemble''' (note that this includes a ''band'', ''singer'', ''rapper'', ''orchestra'', ''hip hop crew'', ''DJ'', ''musical theatre group'', etc.) is notable if it meets any one of the following criteria:<br />
* Has been featured in multiple non-trivial published works in [[Wikipedia:Notability (summary)|reliable]] and reputable media (excludes school newspapers, personal blogs, download sites, YouTube, etc.).<br />
* Has had a hit on a national music chart in at least one large or medium-sized country.<ref name="note">There are, at present, no precise definitions of a "small", "medium" or "large" country in this context. However, a very limited definition of "small" will generally be used, excluding only a few of the world's smallest countries.</ref> <br />
* Has had a certified gold or platinum record in at least one large or medium-sized country.<br />
* Has released two or more albums on a ''major'' label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a list that includes several notable musicians).<br />
* Has won a major music award, such as a [[Choice Music Prize]], [[Grammy Award]], [[Juno Award]] or [[Mercury Prize]].<br />
<br />
<br />
A '''song or album''' is notable if it meets any of the following:<br />
* Has won a major award<br />
* Is an official anthem of a notable state, region, province or territory<br />
* Is a musical standard (e.g. a pop or jazz standard)<br />
* Is a folk song, hymn or Christmas carol with a documented history of more than fifty years<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Advertising:''' Wikipedia is not for advertising or promotion. <br />
*It is not for announcing upcoming records that have not been released. <br />
*It is not for announcing upcoming tours by music groups.<br />
*It is not for promoting a new band.<br />
Using Wikipedia for advertising is against official policy. If your article looks like promotion or an advertisement, it will probably be rejected and [[WP:CSD|speedily deleted]].<br />
