Said "sizeable bio" on Billboard (mentioned by Neon white below) is a mirror of AMG, as they usually are. :) Hence, they should not both be considered. But the AMG listing seems significant, and both the BBC listing & "About" review are persuasive, although I'm confused by the licensing at BBC (it almost looks like a wiki, but it doesn't seem to be). I've been combing through google news; in addition to the promising but uncertain suggestion I referenced above, I've found quite a bit more, (http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=%22John+Dahlback%22&btnG=Search&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&um=1 here). Some of it is tucked behind a paywall, but it gives a tantalizing suggestion of widespread coverage. (For instance, "A lot of the new buzz names - Booka Shade, John Dahlback and Marc Romboy - are in here too, giving the album a lot of kudos" is hidden somewhere in http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-155260711.html here); "check uber-sexy remix of Sharam Jey's Push Your Body by John Dahlback" is in http://www.newstext.com.au/docs/BUL/2006/get.jsp?docid=BUL-20060623-1-032-1087316V7@QLD-METRO-2006-2005 here; somebody listed "Best album: John Dahlback - Man from the Fall." in http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-140079717.html this article, but I don't know who.) I don't see anything that would likely be regarded as ''substantial'' in and of itself, but it looks slightly more than trivial. It's also widespread--as in internationally. Certainly, it seems like it ought to help sustain a reading of widespread coverage. Coupled with the stronger sources Neon white located (excluding redundancy), it may be enough for me. I don't think a reliable source has yet been presented for criterion #12, but I believe there could be sufficient for #1 and, again, possibly #11. (Re: the discography: currently it is sourced to discogs, which seems to be a wiki of sorts according to http://www.discogs.com/help/contributing.html this. Are the albums released on "major labels" or "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)"? I know that the label that has released most of his music is his own. To secure criterion #5, we'd need to verify that his label or the other two ''are'' notable themselves. It always comes back to
