Significance?

edit

In response to your request for comment, I'd ask what makes this band significant? Did they place well on some music chart(s)? Are they associated with more well-known musicians in any way? Have they done something unique or significant?

To avoid being speedily deleted, an article about a band must specifically assert the band's significance or importance in some credible way (see WP:Criteria for speedy deletion). However, in order to avoid eventual (slow?) deletion, an article about music must satisfy the criteria in WP:Notability (music). You'll probably want to read and digest both of those if you intend to create more music-related articles. Good luck, and thanks for contributing! Eaglizard (talk) 01:56, 15 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Please bear in mind that I myself am not disputing their significance, I'm just telling you what others can (and will) say, based on my own experience. Remember, the article must assert their significance, not just assume it. :DEaglizard (talk) 20:02, 16 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable). Helvetia has released one album on indie label Up Records, which has released other high profile acts. They have released three other albums on indie label The Static Cult, which has also released well-regarded music acts. thanks for your help.

Has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician or ensemble itself and reliable. The references to reviews and interviews seem non-trivial and independent; I'm willing to stipulate the websites are reliable. Petershank (talk) 19:59, 16 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
