This article was previously deleted at AFD. There is no significant coverage in independent reliable sources to establish notability, and the reason for the first nomination still stands. Whpq (talk) 14:42, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Wiki, I tried to get in contact with some of the people who looked over this "Akello Light" submission maybe 3-4 weeks ago. I did not get any feedback. Akello Light has received two more coverage write-ups from establish sources. 1st: http://www.urb.com/2013/03/27/72-soul-fools-play-ep-download-limited-edition-vinyl-contest-inside/#more-86087 Quote- URB said, “the Akello Light produced track, Broken Hearts Club is easily one of our favorite tracks of the year, this track sounds like the Daptones, Lee Fields, ... This is a MAJOR magazine. 2nd: http://thefindmag.com/videos/video-72-soul-fool-is-blind-prod-luigi-of-monkeyrobot/ Quote-he was mention as a producer In total, there are three major established media outlets that have given coverage to "Akello Light", plus the enormous amount of coverage from websites with a Alexa Traffic Rank of more than 9,000-468,191 US Traffic (http://www.alexa.com/). Okayplayer.com, Dublab.com, URB Magazine All the sources are cited and website traffic can be checked for each (http://www.alexa.com/). If the information was to be compared to other indie artists, it is a no-brainer that "Akello Light" is actually gaining more coverage every 6 months (Many of the artists listed on Wiki only have one Pitchfork write up or really no constant internet coverage). Have a great day. Sirleak (talk) 17:33, 16 April 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sirleak (talk • contribs)

Comment - What is needed is significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Being ranked between 9,000-468,191 in alexa traffic listings does not make a web site a reliable source, and the referencing provides no significant coverage. -- Whpq (talk) 17:47, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I was the nominator of this article for it's previous AfD, and although I see that there has been some additional coverage, I still believe that Akello Light fails WP:MUSICBIO. At this point, there simply isn't enough in-depth coverage in reliable sources. Sorry. — sparklism ^hey! 10:11, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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