Summary:  For any Galois extension K/k of number fields, we show that every Artin L-function for Gal(K/k) is holomorphic at s = s0 ≠ 1 whenever the quotient ζK(s)/ζ k(s) of Dedekind zeta functions has a zero of order at most max {2, p2 -2} at s = s0 (here p2 stands for the second smallest prime divisor of [K:k]). This result gives a refinement of the previous work of Foote and V. K. Murty.
