Eschatology [MurkyouP]
Hi,
A few days ago, I submitted a new album 'Eschatology', a self-published album by composer MuryokuP. However, the album was rejected. Quote:

You have 1-2 anime songs, 3-4 fan arranged touhou songs and one song on a commercial game album. That isn't a notable artist. As I said in my earlier discussion with roxfan (Vocatrio album), to add completely original works album for artists such as MuryokuP is very questionable and I'm more strict about these original albums which have no game/animation connection.

Ok, I understand.
It might help if there were explicit guidelines on what constitutes a 'notable' artist, though. That might help avoid bad submissions.

Well, let's see... for instance nobody would ever say a word if you submit an album that is in no way related to any game/animation but it happened to have a single track (which is also not related to game/animation) by Nobuo Uematsu... and rest of the tracks can be done by the people you never even heard of. That entry would stay. Because Uematsu is a major vgm artist. It would also stay if it was from major animation artist. That is the case when we'll accept ANYTHING. When you leave the 'major' level every other original works album is questionable so depending on the artist involved, album can be kept or not. I remember TheTwinsCompositions & their original works albums activated the radar right away (radar aka Myrkul ). And it was a correct thing to do. If the vgmdb relevance (of an original works album) is on a such a low level at the moment of submission, it is likely to be rejected. This isn't a general type database like Discogs. Users should be more careful when they submit things. You can take a look at the discussion I mentioned here (so I don't repeat myself too much).

If you're not sure if the artist is notable, then it probably isn't. Simple as that

Sorry to necro this, but MuryokuP is definitely quite notable now, with tons of albums he has contributed in on his page http://vgmdb.net/artist/13459. Other artists with far less notability (and general irrelevance to gaming/animation) have had albums featured on vgmdb. At this point, wouldn't it be fair to reconsider OP's request and have this album on the website?
