Therefore Edgerton fulfills the following: A musician or ensemble is notable if it has had some sort of recognition by professional organizations, such as music charts. Notability is met if the musician has been the subject of a broadcast by a media network. Al2ffresco2008 (talk) 20:17, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
