Dubmood[edit]

Article fails to meet WP:MUSIC and WP:V. I couldn't find any significant independent news coverage. Labels published are very minor: one was created by Dubmood himself, and the other, Fyllecell Records, was "destroyed in a car accident" according to http://www.discogs.com/label/Fyllecell+Records.

Rescinding nomination After reviewing HaeB's comments, I agree this meets the notability threshold and the references he added support WP:V.Sashaman (talk) 21:29, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The article does not cite reliable sources and as such does not comply with the verifiability policy. Stifle (talk) 21:05, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep:
- The coverage in the 2007 arte TV programme was definitely non-trivial - he was interviewed at length as an important representative of this music genre; while the part about him lasted shorter than the 30 minutes named in WP:MUSIC, this is a nationwide TV network in two countries, and I'm adding another independent source to the article - The Wire - a well-known magazine which carries a lot of weight regarding musical notability. His "Atari-Ska" release has also been featured in de:Bug, one of the largest German electronic music magazines.
- While it is true that there are no references yet for the statement that Data Airlines has a "distribution and licencing deal from a major record company", the nominator's remark about the labels is not quite accurate: Dubmood also has releases on Jahtari and on Bad Taste Records (as remixer [1], also available on Amazon.com), both of which are notable labels. It has also to be remarked that chiptune music differs markedly from most other musical genres in that it usually reaches its audience not via releases on record labels, but via demoscene and release groups such as Razor 1911, which is definitely one of the most well-known names in that area and where Dubmood had numerous releases over many years.
- Article names notable collaborators (Svenska Akademien, Massilia Sound System, IAM) and an appearance at a notable festival (Printemps de Bourges).

- As marked on the official webpage of Oai Star (www.oaistar.fr) dubmood is producing their next album and will tour with them in 2009. Oai Star is a big established group on a major label.
- Dubmood has been reviewd, interviewd and mentioned in big french music-mags like Trax and Tsugi, interviewd by major french daily newspapers like La Provance and La Marseillais, and also featuerd with wholepage-arcticles in big journals like L'Hebdo, Ventilo, Comming up etc. He has also been interviewd on french TV (France 3, France4 & M6).

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.
