Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Greymatter (2nd nomination)
I'm afraid I'm not too up on how to post on this discussion (pointers welcome!), but I don't feel that they fail , though maybe are a bit close to the line.  I think that Greymatter are notable in their genre, i.e UK lesbian music.  They have received airplay across America (I'll try my best to get the reference up and a link to the media stream in the near future).  They have been independently reviewed and interviewed by the leading UK press in the lesbian market, and in europe while on their european tour they have been covered on Greek TV and in the Italian press.  They've also played 2 International Music events relevant to their genre and style, and a significant UK lesbian arts event, as well as some of the main (highest attendance) UK Prides, e.g. Brighton.  I understand this doesn't compare with the mainstream music scene, but are we saying that a band who operates in a minority genre can't be counted as notable?  As an aside, regarding CD production and sales, going it alone is becoming more widespread; the industry is changing.  There are bands who have sold less CDs via a record label than indie bands have sold off their own backs.  If the job of a record label is to make revenue from a band's music, then maybe the notability criteria should be measured on revenue and not who a band is signed to?  (I'm not saying this helps Greymatter's case - should I maybe take this discussion over to the  page
