Regarding the claims above that they meet the NMUSIC criteria, note that:(1) the references here are not |reliable sources for the purposes of getting the band over NMUSIC #1, but are almost entirely blogs and podcasts and social networking posts;(2) ''earshot'' is ''not'' a notability-making record chart for the purposes of NMUSIC #2, a status which only attaches to IFPI-certified charts on the order of ''Billboard'' and not just to any record chart that exists;(3) they have not released two albums on a major record label for the purposes of NMUSIC #5: they released ''one'' album ''independently'', and then reissued an expanded version of the ''same'' album once they signed to a ''minor'' record label;(4) passage of NMUSIC #7 is not being demonstrated by the substance or sourcing on offer here; it's a criterion that ''any'' artist who exists ''at all'' can simply ''claim'' to pass it if all they have to do is ''say'' they pass it, so it requires a ''much'' high burden of sourcing and substance to actually pass than you've shown, and is not on the table just because you say it is; and(5) getting into the Searchlight competition is not the same thing as getting placed into ''rotation'' on CBC Music. If you want to show ''rotation'' for the purposes of NMUSIC #11, what you need to show is that Raina, Tom, Rich, Odario and/or Angeline actually played Paragon Cause in the ''regular'' daily playlist ''multiple times'', not just that the song was a Searchlight entry — and even then, the only ''surefire'' way that ''actually'' exists to demonstrate that the song had been played enough to be considered "in rotation", and not just "played once or twice", is to show that the song charted in the ''CBC Music Top 20''. Fact of the matter is, even most actual Searchlight ''winners'' don't actually have Wikipedia articles yet — only one actually does, and even she didn't get it ''because'' Searchlight per se, but because she did other notability-building stuff ''after'' Searchlight. So merely being a Searchlight ''entrant'' is not a notability clincher, when even ''winning'' Searchlight isn't enough.So no, neither the substance nor the sourcing here are cutting it yet
