Article issues[edit]

This 2011 BLP article has survived with multiple severe issues. There is one primary reference, content not found in that reference, and unless the band is no longer around (historical) content is outdated. The article listed music genre "IDM, World music, Electronica, Reggae, Dub, Post-Rock, hip-hop, DnB and jaz" is not in the source just indicating "Impossible to pigeonhole" mentioning "guitar/indie/ rock band-dominated" and "Scottish jazz".

Poppy Ackroyd is listed in the article as being "the band's regular live members" and names are listed in the reference such as "Aim, Bonobo, Gilles Peterson, Jaga Jazzist, Craig Armstrong, The Bays (…and, ahem, Coolio)" but not Ackroyd. The article states the band "performed over 250 live shows in over 30 countries" which is not in the reference.

I didn't look at the three "External links", but it is not acceptable to reference an article through External links. If this is so then that is an issue and if not the unsourced content is considered original research.

One primary source (hiddenorchestra.com) is not sufficient really for any article and certainly not a BLP related article. I am placing needed tags on the article. Otr500 (talk) 08:54, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
