Hiya!
Hi! I noticed that you're pretty new here, so I thought I'd give you a little info on stuff. It's incredibly easy to go without noticing some of the policies here and very easy to get confused on all of this. I've recommended that one of the articles you've written get userfied (WP:USERFY). This means that while the page itself will be deleted off of the mainspace, you'll get to keep a copy of it in your userspace (it's sort of like a sandbox that isn't on the mainspace) to work on until it's ready.

One of the biggies here is reliable sourcing per WP:RS. Reliable sources are considered to be articles about the subject that's written by third parties that aren't involved with the subject at all. For example, if MTV did a review of TLB it would be considered to be reliable since MTV isn't actually involved in the production of the group. However listings such as a Last Fm page that merely shows that a TLB band exists or shows that their albums exist is not considered to be a reliable source. It's trivial at best, and generally the links to sites along those lines should be left off of the articles. Last Fm is more of a "buy this album/band" type of page, so those don't show notability and aren't really good to add to articles. It's about the equivalent of listing an Amazon page. Also, be aware that fan sites aren't considered to be reliable sources except in very, very rare circumstances. Basically the fan site would have to be so big and so notable that it's listed as a source in books, articles, and tv news spots, which generally doesn't happen much. For example, the The Leaky Cauldron fansite became so notable that it ended up becoming a leading authority on the Harry Potter series. When in doubt, ask someone to check it out to see if it's something that should be linked.

Of course anything put out by the group, their representatives, or anyone with a vested interest in the group (press releases, web sites, commercials, etc) is not considered to be a reliable source because they have something to gain from putting the group in the best light possible. Sometimes they can be listed as a source, but generally it's better to stick to third party sources. Be aware that linking to many websites doesn't show notability in and of itself. You can show many sources but it's the reliable sources that really count. The same thing applies to external links. See WP:LINKSTOAVOID to see what is to be linked and what shouldn't be linked.

Another thing I want to point out is WP:CITE. I noticed that you linked everything down in external links, so I wanted to point you towards the page that showed you how to cite sources and references. It's a pretty handy page. Finally, I highly recommend that you look into WikiProject Music. It's a group that's devoted to expanding articles about music on Wikipedia. They would be an invaluable source of help as far as finding ways to properly source the article to where it could meet notability guidelines.

This is a pretty long entry, but it covers the most basic stuff. I hope this helps you out as far as explaining some of the stuff here on Wikipedia.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 10:44, 18 December 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79
