[edit] SleepResearch_Facility
I see you are the admin who deleted the article on SleepResearch_Facility (SR_F). I wish to contest this speedy deletion. It was deleted due to CSD A7 (not notable). Here is my evidence for the notability of the artist, using two criteria.
"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)."
SR_F has released two albums on Manifold Records, and one album on Cold Spring Records.
Cold Spring is an independent label with a history of more than a few years (began in 1990 [1]) with a roster of performers (45 artists [2]), many of which are notable. Cold Spring artists with Wikipedia entries, in rough order of notability: Psychic TV, Genesis P-Orridge, Merzbow, Z'EV, Sol Invictus, Laibach, Masonna, C.C.C.C., Werkraum, Shinjuku Thief, The Grey Wolves, Von Thronstahl, A Challenge of Honour, Zos Kia, Kreuzweg Ost, Crash Worship, Sutcliffe Jugend.
Manifold Records is an independent label with a history of more than a few years (began in 1993 [3]) with a roster of performers (31 artists [4]), many of which are notable. Manifold Records artists with Wikipedia entries, in rough order of notability: Steve Roach (Manifold release [5]), Maeror Tri, Robert Rich, DJ Spooky, Maurizio Bianchi, Arto Lindsay, Aube, Paul Schütze, Lull, Rapoon, Final, Alan Licht, Beequeen.
"Has been featured in multiple non-trivial published works in reliable and reputable media (excludes things like school newspapers (although university newspapers are usually fine), personal blogs, etc.)."
Steve Roach, one of the biggest names in ambient music, has written a very positive review [6] of SR_F's albums Dead Weather Machine and Dead Weather Machine_Re:Heat on his official website [7], and even sold the album from his mail order online store [8] while stocks lasted.
Between 1997 and 2003, AmbiEntrance (at Internet Archive [9]) was one of the definitive websites for ambient, electronic and experimental music. It individually reviewed approximately 900 albums, and interviewed over 50 artists, including big names such as Steve Roach, Terre Thaemlitz, In The Nursery, Richard Bone, Taylor Deupree, Robert Rich, Muslimgauze, Paul Haslinger and Lustmord. It reviewed SR_F's album Nostromo, and gave it a high rating (8.9 out of 10) [10].
SR_F's work has also been broadcast on Dutch Radio 4FM, very positively reviewed [11] [12] at Aural Pressure, and is sold [13] [14] at the famous Hypnos Online Store.
I consider that to be sufficient evidence for SR_F to be "notable"! -- Slowspace 18:28, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
