Talk:Wicked hemlocks

As the creator of this page, I realize that it may seem a bit ridiculous due to the huge amount of little known bands attempting to get a page on Wikipedia. However, the Wicked Hemlocks have been around for over a year now, featured on NPR, reviewed by blogs and magazines, and have had their music played at the World Series and other major sporting events.

Please refer to WP:BAND for the right kind of sources and notability requirements. Blogs sadly do not count because of the amount of user added content, that can not be verified.

Magazines are ok if they have an online reference source for that magazine article. As for the world series bit, sadly that doesnt count.. anyone can have their music playing at any sporting event, now if you guys went up on stage that would be a different story at the world series.

please try to satisfy the requirements i would love to see this article stay and get expanded.

Thanks so much for your help, this is my first article in a while (and my first under this name), and the first for a band, so I definitely need to brush up. I will attempt to meet the requirements more successfully so that the article can expand.

Does it help that the band is mentioned in a Wikipedia article about the Pointer Sisters? That's the main reason for creating the article, to direct people to the band's site and the label's site (which does exist) so that if they are interested they can find out more. If this, the article from NPR and the review from H-Monthly are not enough to establish notability, then I will consent to deletion and let the band know that they are just not professional seeming enough. This also reflects a serious problem with the label. Incidentally, there is a show coming up on July 14th at the Cake Shop in Manhattan, which should be listed on the band's Myspace. Thanks again for your help, I shall return with more notability!!!!!
