[edit] Notability

I'm going to remove the notability tag, for the following reasons, taken from Wikipedia: Notability (music):

1. It has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable.^[1][2][3]
2. Has had a charted hit on any national music chart.^[4]
4. Has gone on an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one large or medium-sized country, reported in reliable sources.^[5][4]
5. 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). ^[1][2]

There's probably several more notability requirements that he meets as well, but I would think that meeting several is sufficient. When I get time I'll expand the article and cite the sources, but this notability mention is somewhat absurd. Just clicking the link to see that he's a member of Caedmon's Call should be plenty to see that he is a notable artist. -- Pepsi2786 06:18, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
