Please help edit the Jamendo article so it doesn't get deleted due to notability issues: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamendo
- laurelrusswurm and Kuro Sawai repeated this.

#Jamendo and #Wikipedia notability has been going on for almost a year. More WP deletionist nonsense http://ur1.ca/9qx27

yeah, I saw the date for the notability flag. Since I know a lot of fellow music podcasters, I thought they might have …

I'd cite to my podcast, but you aren't supposed to do that. Here's one that might help: http://www.musicmanumit.com/2012/07/new-jamendo-120703-music-manumit-podcast.html

@douglasawh @bobjonkman There is a "WikiProject Record Labels" which would cover the mainstream 4 (buying print adds gets press/notability)

It's one thing to contribute to #wikipedia, but the tipping point for many is unwillingness to spend life defending #subjective notability

@tekk my suspicion is "notability" is a way to give power to volunteer editors that costs #wikipedia nothing #superpower
-
fair enough, on both points, which is why I want to get the notability flags removed for the things I care about.

Wikipedia = NSA-owned, CIA operated...
-
what do the NSA and CIA have against Jamendo?
-
@douglasawh @strangelove Wha? Nah, I don't think so.
-
@douglasawh understood. I'll try to lend a hand for the !jamendo article, because Jamendo is hugely important to me
