Shattered Skies
I have grave concerns about your newly created article, Shattered Skies. As it stands now, if it were nominated for deletion at Articles for deletion the result would be delete because
 * other than winning a competition, it has not done much to achieve the level of notability required by WP:BAND, and
 * the bulk of the sources are entirely unsuitable for Wikipedia and need to be replaced with sources which Wikipedia considers reliable.

Please read WP:BAND and WP:Reliable sources and decide if this band meets Wikipedia's notability criteria. If it does not, then stop and work on something else instead.

If it does, please also read WP:My first article and WP:References for beginners and make the necessary improvements to the article so that it will survive any nomination to delete it. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  00:16, 14 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Hey davidwr. Thanks for your very useful info! Regarding your second point, I have replaced the majority of the unsuitable sources in the article with suitable sources and added even more sources where needed. I will continue to update those sources as I find them. Regarding your first point, I believe the band fits under the "Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself." They have created a significant buzz in the progressive metal world and there are quite a few big publications writing about them.If you have any more advice to give regarding this, please do post it! I'm always happy to learn and improve! Jimjohns323 (talk) 14:05, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
