City University London

Thank for you edit to the above article, however to add some one to a list like that you need to show that they are notable and that they meet the criteria for the list - in this case they went to City University - please have a read of WP:NLIST for help.

I have undone your edit, however you should feel free to add him back if you can show that he is notable and that he went to City University with reliable sources - Thanks Codf1977 (talk) 16:58, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry someone's own website is not a reliable source to show someone is notable, have a read of WP:MUSIC and if you think he is notable, then you can create an article for him, while he has an article for the purpose of the university page, he will be assumed to be notable and he can be included.
