[edit] T3's Notability

I noticed that the page for T3's "Big Shot in the Dark" album calls into question its notability. From what I read about musical notability, if an artist is "notable", then a page for a regular studio album by that artist would be pretty much automatically notable. (Note: I'm not thrilled by the content of that album's page by other criteria - the opening paragraph's overfocus on the two new band members is a problem, for example, and it could use some meat on its bones - but that's a different matter.)

As far as Timbuk3's notability goes, I can't see how they aren't qualified. They were Grammy-nominated, had an iconic Top 20 song, and released several albums, including several under I.R.S., a clearly significant (if not major) record label. Two of their albums charted in America. They have toured extensively, including internationally, and have an (official, not bootleg) live album to show for it. Plus a greatest hits album. Untold numbers of articles have been written about them over the past 20+ years.

Noting the "notability" page's insistence that the band's article must insist the notable items (and feeling like the initial band intro could use some improvement anyway), I've added an intro paragraph which (I feel) establishes T3's notability, hopefully once and for all.

[edit] Stockholm Training Grounds

T3 spent several years honing their skills and talent on the streets of Stockholm where they were already performing 'Future'. Somehow this would be good if it were worked into the article.90.5.142.102 23:25, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
