 * Label has the same problem because there is no indication of release date
 * Producer should have the same formation as genre, for example

Lead
✅
 * After the demise → a bit exaggerated, no?
 * lead singer Greg Gilbert recruited his brother Aaron, a keyboardist, into the band after hearing him play a loop. → see below
 * was certified silver → was certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) + wikilink

 * "Nearer Than Heaven" was reissued in March 2004 → mentioned above that after this re-issue it attained its highest peak on the chart
 * in July that year → In July 2004
 * Should mention Snow Patrol as well

Background and recording

 * You failed to mention "Aaron Gilbert (keyboards)", per source
 * See further down. MusicforthePeople (talk) 14:55, 28 June 2022 (UTC)


 * AllMusic states "the two sets of siblings who would later form Delays -- Greg (vocals/guitar) and Aaron Gilbert (keyboards), and Rowley (drums) and Colin Fox (bass) -- tried to make ends meet as a Brit-pop act." → so Corky was just Aaron and Greg, correct?
 * I couldn't find any other source for the exact lineup of Corky, so I'm not sure if it was Greg and Aaron, or Greg, Rowly and Colin, or just Greg (and other unrelated people). MusicforthePeople (talk) 14:55, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
 * See below on the overall section. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 17:10, 28 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Delays created Compact Disc (CD) samplers → Delays made CD samplers, (otherwise sounds like they were the inventors of it)
 * in mid-2001 but this recording was later scrapped → in mid-2001 but it was later scrapped
 * was interested in techno music; he created a loop of what would → was interested in techno music. At this point, he created a loop of what would
 * which marked Aaron's introduction to the band → I'm failing to understand this, as it goes against what AllMusic states
 * See below. MusicforthePeople (talk)


 * The band slowly → They
 * by this point, → use another connecter
 * Aaron Gilbert had been a member of Delays for only a few months → so he was part of the initial band, Greg formed another band and he later joined, is that it?
 * The source for Aaron's introduction comes from an interview with Delays. So Delays formed with Greg, Rowly and Colin; Aaron only joined later when Greg heard the loop. Delays recorded the album a few months after Aaron joined. I think you might be correct, as you say "he was part of the initial band, Greg formed another band and he later joined", but none of the sources really make it clear.

 * The Smashing Pumpkins, The Waterboys → wikilink
 * Elizabeth Fraser.[21][22][23][24] → three sources will be more than enough
 * What are "walls of guitars"?
 * "Nearer Than Heaven]] → "Nearer Than Heaven"
 * "Satellites Lost" is about Gilbert's anxiety about traveling → which Gilbert
 * Brett Anderson from Suede because it copies the work of Big Star and Jeff Buckley → I don't understand the correlation here
 * I missed this; was the result of the copyeditor. Fixed. MusicforthePeople (talk) 14:55, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

Overall

 * Made the changes + comments above. MusicforthePeople (talk) 14:55, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Looks good to me. MusicforthePeople (talk) 16:28, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I believe I found a solution for the problem. You must state that Aaron Gilbert of was part of Corky (like AllMusic). Then, according to the interview, he later joined the band after creating the loop. What are your thoughts? We are sticking to the sources and no WP:OR.
