Article needs complete re-write

The sources in the article include:

One piece of in-depth coverage from a reliable source
Not actually about Empire: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
Affiliated: (dead link) (also fails WP:USERG) [7] (dead link)
Dead link that doesn't appear to be about Empire
Passing mention (fails "in-depth coverage"): [8] [9] [10] [11]
This source appears as a 404 in all archived forms: [12] [13] [14]. We have no way of knowing if this citation was ever legitimate.

As it is, it fails the general notability guideline. Looking for other sources, I found: [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22]. So, the subject is notable, but the article doesn't reflect it at all. In fact, we have one of the CEOs editing the article, and I'm guessing he's not the only one turning this into a poorly-managed fluff piece.

I'll try to take a sledgehammer to this and rebuild it with the sources I've listed in a bit. Ian.thomson (talk) 14:20, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Five years later, needs another rewrite

Different reasons, but still. It's out of date, incomplete, and inefficiently organized. Not taking a sledgehammer but working on rewrite. JSFarman (talk) 20:30, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of notable artists, singles, selected discoraphy

Seems like a lot of info to include on this page. Should we move any of it to a separate article? (And anyone up for finding the references if so?) JSFarman (talk) 06:03, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
