Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Breaking Laces

why?
Ok, so Im curious when as a band we can have a wikipedia page. As far as the rules I can see, to be "notable" we must have met "1" of a list of "notable" criteria, and we have met 5 so far:

1) Has had a charted hit on any national music chart.

Because you have a hard time obtaining the CMJ charts from a year ago and three years ago doesn't mean we don't fit the criteria. We charted the CMJ Top 200 National charts twice. Its a fact.

2) Has gone on an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country, reported in reliable sources.

We toured the UK in October 2005 and are now booking a second UK tour for Newyears/january of 2008. The folks at CMEAS.com organized the tour and can forward you reliable sources that reported the tour.

3) Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable; note that it is often most appropriate to use redirects in place of articles on side projects, early bands and such. Drummer Seth Masarsky toured as a member of Melissa Ferrick's band. If she is not notable, then maybe you should remove her wiki as well.

4) Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g. a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a compilation album, etc...

We just landed a spot on the soundtrack for a new documentary coming out titled "Waiting For Hockney". It may not be a major release, but will hit the indie film circuit. The song they are using is "This World" off of our album Lemonade.

5) Has been placed in rotation nationally by any major radio network.

We have been in regular rotation on XMU (XM Channel 43) since 2003. Tobi, who runs the station, has given us the distinct pleasure of being the only band ever to come in and record a second live set there. Our first live set, and also songs from all our albums, have been played heavily on XMU since 2003. You can contact Tobi directly at XMU to get confirmation of this.

So please tell me, what other criteria must we fit to be included in Wikipedia. Wikipedia's rules say we must have met at least one of the criteria. We fit 5. Should we get 5 more?

Let me know when it's ok to rewrite what you deleted. Darbyrob 08:47, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
