I think I've fixed the problem can you please let me know, I don't want this page deleting.

thanks


 * The only references I see are a link to the BBC, and a link to the band's own website. The band's site doesn't work as a reference, since it's not independent of the subject - they're necessarily biased about themselves. As for the BBC interview - that might help, but it's not sufficient by itself. Are there news articles that discuss the group? Perhaps a stop at Google News might reveal something. Good Luck, UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 13:36, 5 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Here's a set of links that may be useful in finding sources. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 13:36, 5 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Right I have now put 45 references up, is this enough? thanks, Gareth


 * You have a lot of references, but many of them don't count as far as notability is concerned. Everything from a blog, for example, doesn't count as a reference - anyone can get a blog and talk about anything. See also our reliable sources policy. I haven't gone link-by-link, but I do see multiple blogspot links, and that was my first impression. There are also issues of format that may need work.

 * Ok....well blogs are mostly what is online, how can I point you in the direction of press clippings etc? Is there some where I can upload them or something?

Some of the links are also to our management company, we manage Madness, Clive Langer & Alan Winstanley (who have produced David Bowie, Bush, Elvis Costello etc), Owen Morris (who has produced Oasis, The Verve, Ash etc) to name but a few, the bands booking agent, Steve Strange (who also represents Coldplay, Eminem, Snow Patrol etc). Surely this holds some weight!? Steve is up for agent of the year tomorrow...(http://www.livemusicawards.co.uk/voting/). Neither us or Steve would be working with the band if we didn't think there where well on there way to being notable.

 * The page is not in imminent danger of deletion. I suggest you read WP:BFAQ.  Chzz  ► 21:45, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
