Notability confirmation[edit]

This page has a deletion log for past iterations of this page, but I want to make sure that the same does not happen with this page without prior discussion. One of the deletions is for copyright infringement, which I believe doesn't play a part in my article. The second deletion is for notability, so here are the criteria as per WP:MUSBIO I believe I've established that Tommy Lee meets:

1. Subject of multiple published news articles by many of the biggest newspapers in Jamaica (Jamaica Observer, Jamaica Gleaner, Jamaica Star). Also received coverage by American music magazines Fader and Vice. (Criteria 1)
2. Jamaica has no official music charts, but "Some Bwoy" hit number one on several unofficial charts, including but not limited to ER, Pree Dis, and Hype TV (Criteria 2)
3. Songs from Tommy Lee were included on compilations such as Strictly The Best vol. 47, which is at least notable enough for a wiki article in someone's eyes, as well as various other possibly notable albums such as Ragga Ragga Ragga 2012 from Greensleeves Records or various riddim mixes (Criteria 10)
4. Gets significant radio play from dancehall shows, for example the one on BBC Radio 1Xtra, KMEL, etc, and arguably enough to justify calling it part of the stations' rotation. Also I'm sure it gets even more play on local Jamaican stations, though I can't be bothered to find examples at the moment. (Criteria 11)
5. 15 July 2012 Interview with Young Lion on BBC 1xtra. Interviews on local TV shows OnStage, Up and Live, Entertainment Report (ER), etc. (Criteria 12)

Just being careful! But please — notify me first here or on my userpage if any issues arise. —Strachkvas (talk) 22:47, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
