Deletion

This article shouldn't be deleted - Mr Hudson and the Library are highly rated, already signed to Universal, and the members have been critically praised - the pianist especially. They have performed on Jools Holland, a highly-rated British television music programme (Music notability, point 1.12). GiantSnowman 16:02, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Do they meet the criteria here?: Wikipedia:Notability (music) GhostPirate 16:05, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes - point 1 is "It has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable" (they were in The Guardian newspaper and point 12 is "Has been the subject of a half hour or longer broadcast on a national radio or TV network" GiantSnowman 16:18, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

They're pretty well known and are doing a national tour in December - don't see why the article should be deleltedCavie78 11:07, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Band were added to the Xfm playlist on 15th December, this is another point of notability. Y control 08:53, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bad writing

What does this mean: "When he was 11 years old, his father bought some friends, then as a source of recovery, his brother recruited him as a drummer for their heavy metal band. By age 16, his favorite artists included Nirvana and the Shitheads. He was accepted into Youngstown State University to read American.

If you mean read (e.g. study) American lit etc. say so. If you mean his dad bought some friends, explain.99.240.139.189 (talk) 01:10, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Names

I am a bit confused about the name of the page. Is Mr Hudson an individual or is it the name of th band? Is "Mr Hudson & The Library" the old name for the band, or is it a band that no longer exists? Snowman (talk) 13:20, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It really isn't clear from the article. It talks of Mr Hudson being a solo artist but also talks of the band members in the present tense. It may be a similar story to A Rocket to the Moon which is a solo project but the singer is always accompanied by the same band members. I think someone who knows needs to go over the article and change the grammar etc. to make it clearer. Adam2201 (talk) 12:51, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Citations

I've fixed the text of the NME source to remove "Date Rape"! However I'm doubtful as to whether this is a relevant source at all for the point in question. In particular, the biography section of the NME page, which is mentioned in the source description, cites Wikipedia... BurningSnowman (talk) 22:14, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea about the mentions of his various influences - 'Rosster'. Please can somebody tell me who is this? I thought this must be misstyping at first. Sorry for asking this, but the references link of BBC news is not existing and there's no results about searching 'Rosster' in wikipedia too.. Maybe misstype of band Rooster or something? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gts2013 (talk • contribs) 10:24, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Date of birth

Sorry to say I can't find his date of birth (dob), tried to google it but nothing came up... If you know his dob please put it in the article, with a references please. — Mariah-Yulia • Talk to me! 15:22, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
