Hello and thank you for helping me work on this article. Mike Sawitzke appears to qualify as a notable musician based on his prominent membership in 2 notable bands, Eels and Dispatch. In Eels he is a songwriter having written songs on multiple charting albums and he has produced the last 3 Dispatch records along with other notable co-producer, John Dragonetti.

Sawitzke is also notable in the world of film and television and I intended to add to the article on this topic. The Eels song Today Is The Day, which he co-wrote, from the Eels record The Deconstruction was featured in the HBO television show Titans. His song We Are All Together Now was featured on the SYFY channel show Resident Alien. He appeared as an actor/performer in the Judd Apatow produced Netflix TV show Love. He performed on Late Night With David Letterman with Eels. I can include film composing credits as well via IMDB showing he has written music for the FX documentary Hysterial and television shows such as Teen Titans Go!

This all seems, to me, to meet the Wikipedia guidelines for notability. All of the above can be cited via other wikipedia entries mentioning his name, IMDB, Allmusic, Discogs, and various articles published on the internet in the form of interviews, album reviews, etc. I'll work on collecting more citable sources.

Thanks for any help you can offer. Diggida (talk) 18:15, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Thank you, Johannes. The record credits I cited are physically printed on the albums and show up on Spotify, TIDAL, etc. Allmusic and discogs reflect this, but I know they're not considered reliable because they're group source. I tried using direct link to ASCAP to show songwriting credits, which seems like an excellent source.

The articles on Relix.com, magnetmagazine.com, and guitarsexchange.com are articles written on the topics and seem like good sources to me and seem to corroborate the other data. The bio was referenced from a music school the subject taught at so that seems good too. Can you help me parse what needs work?
