Non-notable musician. Competed on a TV show. (No indication if he won, or even did very well. Actually, no verification from independent sources that he even appeared.) Played with this artist. Toured with that artist. Notability is not inherited. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:24, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

I think you misunderstood the point of this entry. This is not a faceless, nameless musician who entered a talent contest (not sure where you got that from) - this is one of the most established and in-demand session musicians on the scene in the UK and a globally respected musician. The reference to artists Skins has collaborated with were merely to fulfil the wikipedia requirement for references and a comment made previously that he had to be seen to be 'noteworthy'. Please explain what I can do to improve this entry and to avoid this ambiguity in future as I am very new to Wikipedia.— Preceding unsigned comment added by TheMusicMan123 (talkcontribs)

  • Comment I will admit to misreading the text of the article. It says "He completed an MTV special." I thought it said "He competed in an MTV special." The difference is immaterial. There is still no significant independent coverage of this artist to be found. (If there is, please provide.) YouTube videos of his performances are not reliable sources to establish notability.
