After a good faith search for reliable sources and reviewing the notability guidelines for musical acts, I do not believe this band meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Per: WP:BAND --SarahStierch (talk) 04:27, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - Most of the external links and reference are from Edison's Children themselves. Fails WP:GNG. 11coolguy12 (talk) 04:22, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Notability - Please note that Edison's Children is the new "solo" effort (though featuring Eric Blackwood as his partner) by Pete Trewavas who has sold over 15 million records worldwide with Transatlantic, Kino and Marillion who are certified Platinum by RIAA. Though the sources may be limited at this time, much of this information will become public knowledge, in soon to be released worldwide interviews with many magazines and industry periodicals within the next few weeks. At that time, far more notes of sources will be immediately available. — Digitalballparks (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * Delete Transatlantic, Marillion, and Eric Blackwood are not sources independent of the subject matter as they have all worked with him previously. I also find it curious that "UK Web Magazine" is unavailable on the web.  Finally, you say that information is forthcoming.  Well, I think we can wait.  Wikipedia is not a crystal ball.  If you want, you can request that this page be put on your userpage.  When good sources are available that support the notability of the artist, it can then be rewritten on the article mainspace.

 * According to the latest publicity, the release of the album is scheduled for 18 November 2011. I suggest userfying this article until that happens and there is some independent coverage of the release. As a release involving an otherwise notable artist, some content about the new record will be appropriate either as a separate article or as a section of Pete Trewavas.  However, the current text of Edison's Children is terribly bloated and will need some serious cutting in either case.  Also, it should be noted that the wikilink to Eric Blackwood actually leads to a Canadian aviator by that name--as far as I could see, there is no article or other coverage in Wikipedia about the Eric Blackwood who's in this band.--Arxiloxos (talk) 16:41, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
