having gained national radio in the UK (BBC Radio 6) - in conjunction with having musicians already cited within Wikipedia as being worthy of noteworthy inclusion - I can see no valid reason to delete this entry. I also rather disagree with a comment made previously in this debate that the entry has been made to promote the band - there are far better areas of promotion should that be the case - and as far as I can ascertain this entry has been made on valid grounds of authenticity. thank you for reading.

I heard this band on radio 6, a popular radio show in the UK, and liked them, in my research I found two of their members are notable musicians, which is one of the requirements on wiki - it doesn't matter if you like the band or not, the fact it has notable musicians, that are listed means they should not be deleted - Magrat Garlik  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.162.80.62 (talk) 19:03, 16 December 2013 (UTC) In regard to veracity of claims in regard to musicians on the Big Chief Mkuja page I quote from Wiki page Akrylykz Other members of the group were Steve Pears (vocals, tenor saxophone), Stevie "B" Robottom (vocals, alto saxophone, keyboards), Wojciech "Piotr" Swiderski (drums), Michael "Fred" Reynolds (bass), and Nik "Akrylyk" Townend (guitar).[1]Fred Reynolds toured with Roland Gifts Fine Young Cannibals in 2002 Discography from same page;Black and Dekker (with Desmond Dekker) - Stiff, SEEZ 26, 1980 Clive Thomas is mentioned on Wiki page for the 'Room' The Room formed in 1979 with an initial line-up of Dave Jackson (vocals), Robyn Odlum (guitar), Becky Stringer (bass), and Clive Thomas (drums, percussion).[1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kahouna Dreaming (talk • contribs) 00:26, 17 December 2013 (UTC) SEE REVIEW OF THIS BANDS ALBUM AT WWW.PINKUSHION.COM ONLINE MUSIC SITE — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.86.247.90 (talk) 17:19, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
