The Uglysuit

Hello. I see you posted a comment on the tlk page of The Uglysuit. I have made a reply there, but I thought there was a danger that it might be deleted before you see it, so I am copying both your comment and my reply here. JamesBWatson (talk) 12:39, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Uglysuit are a signed band on Quarterstick Records. They have gotten attention from credible sources such as Rolling Stone Magazine. They are a professional band and are deserving of a wikipedia page. With and EP out, a highly rated album, and a third album on the way, this band even has songs available for purchase on itunes. This proves they are a band deserving of a web page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mtjacobson564 (talk • contribs) 03:55, 9 March 2010

You say they have "gotten attention" from Rolling Stone Magazine, but all you have provided in the article relating to this is a post on the Rolling Stone blog. The article also contains a link to a promotional page of a record company, but no other evidence at all of coverage anywhere. "A band deserving of a web page" is not the same as "a band deserving of a Wikipedia article": Wikipedia is not a free web host. Finally, the fact that the band has a couple of records out and songs available on itunes does not show that it is notable: thousands of non-notable bands get at least that far.
