We've removed the line about elitism that probably triggered the advertisement flag. That should be reconsidered now. The rest is factual.

As far as notability, the site is now a featured publication on Metacritic. Is that not significant enough? Doesn't that fill criteria #1 of web notability? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(web)

Beats Per Minute (website)Beats Per Minute (music blog) – Generally speaking, the (website) disambiguator is generic and uninformative, and should be avoided. Its also misleading because the subject here isn't simply a "website", but an enterprise. Multiple sources describe BPM as a music blog, and the operator a music blogger. -- Netoholic @ 07:44, 18 May 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. >>> Extorc.talk 17:16, 25 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

  • Oppose (as proposed): The term in the parentheses is for disambiguation, not explanation. Wikipedia prefers simple commonly used disambiguation terms rather than more specific ones – e.g., "politician" and "musician" rather than "mayor" or "cellist". The proposed name is also less WP:CONCISE – using two words where one is sufficient. There are no other articles on Wikipedia that use "music blog" as a disambiguation term. In fact there are no other articles on Wikipedia that use anything like "blah blog" as a title disambiguation term. (Three weeks ago, someone created one at Oryx (OSINT blog), but I just renamed that, so now there aren't any.) Perhaps it could be "(blog)" rather than "(website)", but there are currently about 10 times as many articles on Wikipedia use "(website)" (224) than "(blog)" (only 23). —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 21:28, 25 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose. The (website) tag is perfectly fine, as seen with Pitchfork (website), The Ringer (website), Vox (website), and myriad others. 162 etc. (talk) 21:36, 25 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
