Draft talk:Luca Formentini

Notability and sourcing improvements for resubmission

I realized how the experimental/ambient music niche makes Wikipedia notability harder to prove, because even well-regarded artists in this space don't always get mainstream press. I've been checking other pages to understand what may be useful as a reliable and useful source to satisfy Wikipedia criteria. The first that comes to my mind is Piero Scaruffi's database, which is cited as a source for notability for other avant-garde and experimental musicians. 15questions.net has covered Luca's work in depth and for multiple times. It is an independent and internationally recognized music journalism site. Blow Up (Italy's most respected music magazine) has written multiple reviews and articles over the years. Exposé Online — Exposé reviewed Art Spaces Vol. 1 and analized the work in detail. Palazzo Grassi (one of Italy's most prestigious art institutions) invited him to perform one of his works. He was also invited by the Sound in Museums as a featured speaker at this international conference in Portugal in 2025. I think this kind of academic/institutional recognition also matters. Do you think these entries would be useful for showing his notability? Thank you!
