Jimmy Robbins is an artist signed by Universal Motown and in fact exists on the Universal Motown page in wikipedia. So i would strongly press that he is notable.
universal motown page on wikipedia itself puts him under "Notable artists under the Universal Motown/Universal Republic Group".
This is from the WP:MUSIC guidelines: "Notability is met if the musician has been the subject of a broadcast by a media network.". I suggest you follow this link [radio.disney.go.com/artists/incubator/jimmyrobbins/bio.html]. Somewhere in the "J's" are "Jimmy Robbins of Too Sorry for Apologies- Step One. Obviously notable enough for Radio Disney
iTunes also has him on there, another media source
Jimmy almost has 5 million plays and he has 79,000 friends on myspace. He actually has two songs on radio disney, 'Step One' is just the more popular one. He has a Street Team page, and many fansites dedicated to him. He has also gone on tour with noteable artists like The Scene Aesthetic and he is working with the very famous producer Bryan Todd
here are two more articles that we found on jimmy robbins [1] [2]
Alternative Press Magazine featured Jimmy in it as well, back when he was still TSFA. Isn't a spot in a major music magazine considered "notable" ?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jabszx (talk • contribs) 09:34, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- I'm sorry, but I don't understand what being inherited has to do with Jimmy Robbins. His popularity was not inherited; his previous band name was Too Sorry For Apologies. His name simply changed. It wasn't a previous project. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.117.139.133 (talk) 13:34, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The songs have to be on rotation, not on a request list as the Radio Disney songs are. Myspace popularity is not considered a notability requirement or even source, and yes, he has an iTunes artist selection, but considering his record label signed a deal with iTunes to make every song in their catalogue available that isn't really suprising. Lastly, as I explained on the talk page, being signed to a major record label does not make an artist notable; two or more releases on said label is required.

The artist has had music in rotation at Radio Disney. Currently his music has not charted but according to Mediabase and BDS he is getting 4 spins a week. Furthermore, his Radio Disney interview was broadcast throughout the RD network in July of 2007 as part of their incubator program. His website feature was added to supplement his radio feature.
Additionally, you mention that the artist needs two or more releases on said label to be considered notable. Would you like me to list the plethora of artists on Wikipedia that are currently supporting only one release? --Adamlarue (talk) 19:31, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Fine, add away. You'll find those that have will have fulfilled the notability criteria in other ways. Ironholds 22:56, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
He was one of the youngest performers on warped tour when he was with Ashwin. And as said before he was featured in AP magazine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jabszx (talk • contribs) 10:03, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
