was playing on their station on a regular national basis at any point in time, his name would be in their website somewhere and it isn't. A redirect to the A-List article might be good, although there's two seasons, but I imagine that the first season would be the best one to redirect to. James doesn't pass the strict notability guidelines at this point in time, purely because there's no reliable sources to back it up and the theme song alone isn't enough to warrant an article. (Even in the artist notability guidelines it recommends that if this is all they're known for or can be verified, that they're just redirected to the TV show article.)

is kind of tricky in that if this is the only thing that can be verified in any way, it doesn't exactly give notability enough for an article unless there's other things to show notability. I will say that if we do manage to find sources for this, the article needs to be almost completely rewritten

I cleaned up the blatantly promotional text. To be honest, that might've been a wasted effort since the notability scale is tipped against him. I'll see what sources I can find.

Considering that I just discovered that the entire block of text was copied directly from James' blog and a press release, editing it saved this from being a copyvio.

Well, I can vouch that "A Boy Like Me" is the theme song for The A-List. I was able to verify that via a streaming video of the series. However, that part of the
