Talk:The Badgeman

Untitled

Thanks for flagging up the weaknesses in my article - I wanted to start with something I know about but would not involve me making mistakes in front of lots of people! I have tried to make the subjects "notability" more clear by establishing at the top that The Badgeman released two albums for a "notable" independent label (Paperhouse/ Fire Records (uk)) with a "notable" roster (Teenage Fanclub, Phil Shoenfelt, Spacemen 3, etc) - this is an example listed in the criteria for notability. It is also worth noting that two other well established and notable independent labels (Imaginary Records and Ozit considered The Badgeman worthy of inclusion on compilation releases which also included such notable acts as Nirvana, Sonic Youth, Nico, and Echo and The Bunnymen. I note on re reading that I assert that The Badgeman were originaly signed to Glass Records - this has been reported by the band themselves in a history of music from Wiltshire, but because there were no releases as a result of that relationship this is difficult to verify (although I see no reason why this would not be true - the band did go onto release records for two more successful labels). Finally, I would like to believe that the unbiased and positive views placed on record by Julian Cope (an author of some note on the subject of rock and roll) would cement the "notability" of The Badgeman. I will attempt, as soon as possible, to master inline citations. Thanks agian for feedback - all help is appreciated. (Giant Christopher (talk) 13:52, 14 November 2011 (UTC))
