I think I've fixed the problem can you please let me know, I don't want this page deleting.

thanks

The only references I see are a link to the BBC, and a link to the band's own website. The band's site doesn't work as a reference, since it's not independent of the subject - they're necessarily biased about themselves. As for the BBC interview - that might help, but it's not sufficient by itself. Are there news articles that discuss the group? Perhaps a stop at Google News might reveal something.

Here's a set of links that may be useful in finding sources. (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL) UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 13:36, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Right I have now put 45 references up, is this enough? thanks, Gareth

You have a lot of references, but many of them don't count as far as notability is concerned. Everything from a blog, for example, doesn't count as a reference - anyone can get a blog and talk about anything. See also our reliable sources policy. I haven't gone link-by-link, but I do see multiple blogspot links, and that was my first impression. There are also issues of format that may need work.

Ok....well blogs are mostly what is online, how can I point you in the direction of press clippings etc? Is there some where I can upload them or something?

Some of the links are also to our management company, we manage Madness, Clive Langer & Alan Winstanley (who have produced David Bowie, Bush, Elvis Costello etc), Owen Morris (who has produced Oasis, The Verve, Ash etc) to name but a few, the bands booking agent, Steve Strange (who also represents Coldplay, Eminem, Snow Patrol etc). Surely this holds some weight!? Steve is up for agent of the year tomorrow...(http://www.livemusicawards.co.uk/voting/). Neither us or Steve would be working with the band if we didn't think there where well on there way to being notable.

The page is not in imminent danger of deletion. I suggest you read WP:BFAQ. Chzz ► 21:45, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
