Wikipedia:Not all Vocaloid songs deserve their own article
This is an essay on notability. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article or a Wikipedia policy, as it has not been reviewed by the community and may reflect various opinions. |
| This page in a nutshell: Just because a Vocaloid song exists, that doesn't guarantee that there will be a Wikipedia article for it. |
Vocaloid is a singing voice synthesizer software product that was created over 2 decades ago. Just because some Vocaloid songs[a] like "Mesmerizer", "Rabbit Hole", and "Dune" have Wikipedia articles, that doesn’t mean that there can be articles created for other popular Vocaloid songs such as "Young Girl A", "Monitoring", and "Tetoris".[b] These types of content count as fancruft.
But why?
[edit]Any information that is related to Vocaloid and other singing synthesizer softwares are required to be accompanied by a reliable source. Also, for that matter, any pages that are related to Vocaloid and/or other singing synthesizer softwares are required to meet the general notability guideline. Although many Vocaloid synthesizer software applications and some Vocaloid songs have their own articles because they meet these guidelines, many of these specific songs do not. Some people believe that just because some Vocaloid songs have their own articles, they can write whatever they want like it’s Fandom, but there are policies and rules that decide what should and should not be on Wikipedia. Unfortunately, these rules state that (as of late December 2025) many Vocaloid songs don't need any more articles. However, articles on Vocaloid songs tend to get more coverage on the Japanese and Chinese Wikipedias, but they have their own notability guidelines.
