The Blues Orphans
Thanks for your contributions to this article. I've had a look and I'm not sure if I can pass it, as while the band has released several albums, I don't think they're on significant record labels (ie: a major or widely recognised independent). That combined with a lack of chart success would make it difficult to meet the guidelines in WP:NMUSIC. The good news is, that having said all of that, my personal opinion is I quite like the band! If they ever tour on the same continent as the one I live in, somebody let me know. Ritchie333 (talk)  (cont)   21:08, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Hey Ritchie333,. Thank you for the prompt response. If you don't mind me asking, what might make a band like The Boilermaker Jazz Band stand out in WP:NMUSIC? (Kevin.wirth (talk) 21:20, 15 January 2013 (UTC))


 * That article doesn't look too good. It doesn't cite any reliable sources and a search on the web doesn't turn up anything. I've tagged it for attention. The trouble is, there are a lot of bands at this level, and none of them are that notable in the grand scheme of things - such as the band I play in, for example, which doesn't have a Wikipedia article and I think would get speedy deleted fairly quickly if it did.

Question: I am very concerned that this band does not meet Wikipedia's notability requirements for musical groups. I couldn't find enough information on the Internet that showed it met these requirements, but I wouldn't expect to see much from the 20th century online. Can you help me find print or other references that can show that at least at one point in its history this band met Wikipedia's notability requirements? If I were to approve the article without such information, it would likely be nominated for deletion later. Also, please provide the name of at least one song that has been covered by a national group along with a citation to back it up. Information from a national group's album's or concert's track listing crediting The Blues Orphans will do, but an independent source such as a newspaper would be better. If you do not have a song name and a citation, please change the article to remove the claim for the time being. You can always add it back later once you have the information to back up the claim. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  03:50, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
