1. WARD music label is not 'major record label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable)" Rather, "an independent electronica and post rock record label". Searches for LOCA records revealed no links other than the wikipedia page itself. Further, one of the members of WARD, David Meme (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Meme) appears to co-own the label. The label appears to only publish Meme's music and his band's, WARD.

2. Page references no links to any sources of reliable 3rd party coverage. Google searches for additional coverage found no alternate sources

3. As well, Google searches revealed no awards, nominations, no performances in television shows or notable films, or inclusion on any compilation album, etc.

4. Broken links with no alternate sources. Wikipedia is the main source material for both WARD and Loca Records.

- WARD's Label is referenced as Loca Records. The link included (http://www.locarecords.com/) appears to point to x-rated site Ran Google search. Found no alternate website for Loca Records

- WARD's referenced band website (http://www.wearericharddavid.com/) does not exist: Ran Google search. Found no alternate homepage website for WARD

- Only source exterior to Wikipedia for WARD is four songs listed on one Myspace page. https://myspace.com/wearericharddavid/music/songs
