Notability is met if the musician has been the subject of a broadcast by a media network. Tap Tap were the subject of Marc Riley's National BBC 6 Music radio show today and you can listen on the lovely iplayer (if you are in the UK): http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/b00c72y1/Tuesday/console/
Or if you are looking at this after 7 days here is the website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/shows/marc_riley/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tommo 87 (talk • contribs) 21:53, 27 October 2009
- The criteria in WP:BAND appears to be "Has been the subject of a half hour or longer broadcast across a national radio or TV network." I scanned through the audio clip you provided (incidentally, being in the UK doesn't seem to be a requirement to play it); the clip is about two hours long - but only a small fraction of that involves Tom Sanders, and those bits seem split between talking about both "Tap Tap" and "Pete and the Pirates" ... so I can see where there might be roughly enough total to help strengthen the notability of Tom Sanders; but since notability isn't inherited, in my opinion I would say that it does not establish notability for Tap Tap. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 22:34, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
- The program was trailed (as you no doubt saw from the website) as featuring tap tap. Tom Sanders, being tap tap, can then surely talk about what he (or the interviewer) likes and it still counts. Otherwise you are going to systematically discriminate in notability terms against artists with side projects and that not what the criteria intend to do.--Tommo 87 (talk) 23:18, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
