 * Ah.. I understand the notability guidelines must have been rewritten recently. I wasn't aware that it is now sufficient to be listed in a number of independent sources... and be available on iTunes! __meco (talk) 20:53, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Fine, but you wrote listed, which is something altogether different, and less committing, than "non-trivial work". __meco (talk) 07:17, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
