prod for this article

hi, I can work on this article. he was an important figure in the early 80s Melbourne music community and is an Australian composer still. trove search has books & journals (I need to take a look at these more closely) : http://trove.nla.gov.au/result?q=%22ernie+althoff%22 - there's also some 80s Australian music magazines archived and he would be mentioned in those (or surrounding articles which I can search from these) http://spill-label.org/FastForward eg issue 6 has David Chesworth from Essendon Airport talking about the Clifton Hill Music Community Centre (http://spill-label.org/FastForward/ff06/ff06.php) Kathodonnell (talk) 01:01, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've added some references. was a bit busy today so didn't get them all done, but there's still more on trove. books & journals. I'll try add more detail to the article also from the bio & articles. NMA was an important experimental label & publication (magazine) from 1970s/80s Australia - it's not on WP, though I think this is a gap which needs to be filled rather than not being notable. hopefully this is enough to start with so the article doesn't get deleted? I'm not sure of the prod process. thanks Kathodonnell (talk) 16:56, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
