The fundamental problem with your draft is that it lacks any reliable secondary references or sources that verify the statements made in the article. It is highly likely based on the information that it satisfies WP: NMUSICIAN, however you need inline citations which confirm that the band was nominated for a Grammy, that they went on international tours, that they released albums on notable labels etc. if you provide those I’d be happy to reassess the draft.

 * I have just finished searching for reliable published references confirming that they received Grammy nominations in 2009 and 2016 but I cant find anything ... which is a bit concerning. I have checked the Grammy website, press releases from that time and the Wikipedia articles. Can you see if you can find what categories they were nominated in/for., as that would greatly assist. In the meantime I'll keep looking. Dan arndt (talk) 05:37, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
 * What I have uncovered from the research I've done is that they never received a Grammy nomination rather according to Russell 'Hitman' Alexander they almost were nominated for a Grammy. Unfortunately almost is not good enough and the only source seems to be from the band themselves. There are no collaborating published sources that support this only Alexander's comments, which is essentially a primary source and not acceptable. The albums that the band released were all on Alexander's own label, Nerus Records, which is not a notable or mainstream record label. Also it doesn't appear that any of the albums charted anywhere or that there are any mainstream published reviews of the albums (blogsites etc don't count). The best I can rely on is evidence of the tours of the UK but I need published secondary sources that specifically mention/review those performances. Once again I'll keep trying.

 * Again, I appreciate the swift response. I said (numerous times) they didn't get Grammy nominations - they were in the running.  They have the official Grammy ballots to prove it, but you can't look that up online.  So I removed any reference to it from the article.


 * There are numerous reviews of the albums online. I will update it to show that.  They also charted on a some recognized sites, so I will reference those as well.  I will also add links to online journals that aren't blogs with reviews of the albums and live performances.


 * Please check back in a couple of days, as it will take a little bit to put it together! Thanks for your help. Savearainbow (talk) 00:38, 6 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Ok, if you need any help let me know, or if you get the draft to a standard that you are happy with and want to resubmit it then let me know & I'll review it for you. Dan arndt (talk) 06:04, 6 September 2018 (UTC)


 * I've provided the sources as inline citations. I was unable to access the Blues Matters reference so was unable to work out where that should be slotted in. If you can add anymore references/sources it would certainly help, particularly reviews of overseas performances and / or CD reviews in reputable sources. References in hardcopy material, if properly cited, is fine. Let me know if you need any more assistance. Dan arndt (talk) 03:15, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
