Anyone who releases commercially distributed material can get on Spotify, since all(?) distributors include Spotify in their portfolio. As long as they've released material I don't see the problem with calling them an "artist."

I will refer you to the Notability Guidelines, which speak to this better than I can.

I was replying to this comment by admin Gchiaren:

We're moving towards utilizing MusicBrainz, Spotify, and Wikidata to help us better structure our artist data.

We're considering making it a requirement that an artist has to have a presence on one of those 3 services in order to be added as a community-editable artist page.

Is it perfect? No. I think anyone can put themselves on Spotify. But at least we would be making it more difficult to bend the rules...

I don't even have the energy to call people out anymore, whatever. If they knew how they looked they would stop.... I don't think we're the only people side-eyeing this behavior, its goofy.

At this point I’m just compiling. The new artist submission system prevents this from happening anymore.
