(need to be aware of WP:MUSIC) Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:41, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Chiswick Chap, thanks for the comments and help, hadn't seen the Band criteria specifics bfore and haven't put a new entry for a band on before either. So here's some further info : Firstly, I have no connection with the artist, but in my capacity as a professional writer I am exposed to a lot of breaking artists and I feel this is a bigone, and wanted to start the wiki ball rolling for my own kudos as much as anything else! ;)

1 Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself*

'DJ Mag' is an established, important market-leading international publication with it's own wiki entry, and the single review referenced was prominent and glowing. There were many other reviews of the single which I was awre of at the time but do not have reference copies/publication details. 'Sound Revolution Magazine' is a less known but established publication which is a 'free magazine' in some of what remains of uk record shops. This was a more exntesive feature on the band.

7.Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability*

The DJ MAg review cites them as having their own mini-genre, I've amended the quote to reflect this.

11.Has been placed in rotation nationally by any major radio or music television network.*

The debut single received airplay support from the UK 'indie' slanted network XFM, eqauting to 'light roatation' in the wiki definition. I've amended the entry to reflect this.

hope this answers the points raised, please let me know what you think as becoming more involved in wiki is one of my new year resolutions! all the best User:Paul thescribe
