Hi, I deleted your recent article because it did not provide independent verifiable sources that it meets the notability guidelines. I think that is arguable whether 25,000 listeners meets those criteria, but there are no references to enable the figure to be verified anyway.

Although it was not a reason for deletion, the article also reads as if it was a review or bio taken from somewhere else. If you recreate this article, and you think that it meets the notability criteria, you need to make sure that it has verifiable references so that the content of the article can be sourced. Note that the article must be written in a neutral, non-advertising style, and must not be copyright. If it is taken from a website, the website must say say that its content is available under the GFDL licence or is in the public domain. Hope this helps.

 * It's not a matter of convincing me, its more that the article has to have references so that anyone can check. I have to say that user generated sources like myspace and soundclick are not usually considered to be adequate, ideally you need something a bit more credible and independent such as an on-line newspaper or similar, or a reference to the radio show you mentioned.


 * I'm not suggesting that you are advertising the performer, but articles written by fans do not always use a neutral tone expected in an encyclopaedia article.


 * You also need to reference the biographical facts you have put in, again so that readers can check them (and also check that the text is new and not just copied from a copyright source like a website). As I said before, you can recreate the article at any time, but unless it has checkable references both for notability and factual content, it is bound to be deleted by a passing admin. Have a look at Obie Trice to see how it should be done.  Jimfbleak . Talk to me . 06:52, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
