Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 04:53, 11 October 2006

Andrew Jackson Jihad

Previously deleted following discussion at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Andrew Jackson Jihad, but despite the new claims of notability, the band still does not meet WP:MUSIC. Where are their albums? What spots have they reached on notable charts? What national or international tours have they been on? Basements don't qualify, sorry. User:Zoe|(talk) 23:50, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

• Strong, speedy keep- The article has been rewritten (it is not a "re-creation of previously deleted material" because of the new content), because it meets OTHER criteria of WP:MUSIC besides the album releases and charting requriements, which if you'd bothered to read the article and the talk page, you would have discovered. The band has received more media coverage and awards since the last AfD, which I have cited in the new article. I have notified other editors about this article and its AfD as to gather more input for a clear consensus. PT 00:03, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
• I don't see reliable sources meeting WP:MUSIC. A Phoenix weekly paper (note: article link doesn't work) supporting an unreleased album isn't enough for me, sorry. I'm holding off on voting for the moment, but this looks distinctly non-notable to me, though I wish them the best. bikeable (talk) 00:34, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
  • The ASU article link doesn't work, but the rest do. Check the talk page, look at the article. It meets plenty of WP:MUSIC requirements. PT 00:37, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
    • I can't get to the New Times article, sorry. Note that the ASU page (user: nopass, password: nopass, courtesy BugMeNot) is a university newspaper. From my point of view, a weekly article and a university article fall far short of the other criteria -- particularly, two albums. I think WP:MUSIC is a little uneven that way. Almost any local band has been featured in a local weekly at some point. bikeable (talk) 00:43, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
      • Arizona State University is one of the most prominent universities of the Southwest. Phoenix New Times is the company that owns the Village Voice. We are the fourth largest metropolitan city in the United States. I am sorry that you cannot get to the articles cited, but they are there, they are cited, and the information puts this clearly over the WP:MUSIC line. PT 00:46, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
        • WP:MUSIC says "non-trivial". The PNT is not the VV; they own a weekly in almost every city, mine included. Three sentences describing an upcoming gig appears very trivial to me, and I read the guidelines as excluding school papers. I'm not trying to be difficult, but I still don't see notability. bikeable (talk) 00:54, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
      • For the New Times article, I had to click on "Print Article" to be able to read it. Maybe we should change the link to the "Print Article" page. - Lex 00:48, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
        • Ah -- thanks. bikeable (talk) 00:54, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Sorry, PT, but how is this a "Strong, speedy keep"? What criterion of Misplaced Pages:Speedy keep does this fit? -- Kicking222 02:14, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
    • I feel it is a bad faith nomination. It was placed on AfD three minutes after I put it up, and I did have all the citations and an explanation on the talk page at the first edit. PT 17:10, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Seems like the article shows the media mentions, so it meets WP:MUSIC. --badlydrawnjeff talk 00:38, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per PT. I looked over the article and all the sources. This article seems to meet the requirements in WP:MUSIC. - Lex 00:44, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Which of these sources are notable and verifiable, a requirement for WP:MUSIC? (See WP:RS.) Dmcdevit·t 07:31, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
    • All of them. Did you read the article? PT 19:40, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
      • Since I've given clear reasoning, and since you've responded to it, we already know both that I have indeed read the article, and theat you know that. Please remain civil. Dmcdevit·t 20:12, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
        • I civily ask you, then, to please stop wrecking things on Misplaced Pages, because I don't feel you are acting in good faith, nor do you know much about the topics you're nominating, and you are outright ignoring sources being provided. PT 20:27, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. I am holding my vote too. This article is well referenced and written, but I am unsure about their notablity. Although there's no result of the band on All Music, but from the band's official website, they seemingly do go on national tours in a sense which should meet WP:MUSIC. AQu01rius (User | Talk | Websites)  00:48, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
• Strong delete I still see nothing that passes WP:MUSIC. Every newspaper mention is from that of some college where they played with the exception of the Phoenix New Times, which doesn't appear to be the most reliable of sources. -- Kicking222 02:14, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
  • There seems to be some dispute over whether or not the ASU paper, the Arizona Republic, or the Phoenix New Times are reliable sources (they are), but what cannot be disputed are the awards, nor the talk of the band in HeartAttaCk, a very notable zine. PT 17:10, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. The claims to notability are unsourced with reliable sources, and therefore don't satisfy WP:MUSIC. Citing New Times as reliable is laughable, especially for a Phoenix native. I've been mentioned in the New Times for nothing much, and the story misquoted the other interviewee, too. The New Times is not a good measure of anything, and it's certainly not reliable. That and a blog and a student-written college paper (and it's an interview where they mention themselves offhandedly that they went on a tour): none of these are reliable. And after reading the article, I still don't know if they're even signed to a label. They're not even on allmusic. Nothing here meets WP:MUSIC, and Parsssseltongue's been spamming this AfD to boot. Dmcdevit·t 07:31, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
  • It would be spamming if I went to a bunch of editors and said "PLEASE COME VOTE KEEP ON THIS AFD!" As I mentioned above (does anyone on Misplaced Pages actually bother to READ anything or anymore, or do they just work off assumptions?), I alerted editors to the article and the AfD to get their opinion, I didn't try to sway it one way or another. You claim to be a Phoenix native, one that has been in Phoenix New Times even, so you should know who AJJ is. And it doesn't matter that they're on a label or not, that is not the end-all be-all of WP:MUSIC. What too many editors on here are clearly missing is that other WP:MUSIC criteria has been met, as noted in the article and on the talk pages, with reliable verifiable sources (whether Dmcdevit has a grudge against them or not). PT 17:01, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Dmcdevit does not have a grudge, but actually his opinion is based on sound reasoning. But thanks anyway for your insinuations. (Oh, and I "claim to be a Phoenix native". Nice.) The bottom line is that you have no reliable sources here, so no inclusion guidelines can be met. Dmcdevit·t 20:12, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
      • I am just curious why someone who claims to be from Phoenix and implies they are well-versed in music and media in the area would refute New Times as a legitimate publication, as well as refuting AJJ as a legitimate band. PT 20:27, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - User:Parsssseltongue sent me a message, probably due to my opinions on the Rival Schools AFD. Sorry, but this is completely different situation - I haven't heard of them, their biggest gig was supporting Flogging Molly, hardly a huge band in themselves, there doesn't seem to be anything supporting a national or international tour (individual shows in different states IMO don't really count), nothing non-trivial, and they don't have CDs for sale on Amazon or anywhere in my country. 172 hits on Google, 126 listeners on last.fm, they don't seem to pass WP:MUSIC, so this is nn and probably vanity - albiet a well written vanity page. Halo 12:18, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
  • It would be vanity if I were a member of the band. This is not the first time I have been accused of being the subject I wrote about, nor will it be the last (I also am accused of being certain banned editors, from time to time). Nevertheless, while there are WP:MUSIC criteria this article DOESN'T fit (radio play, album releases), the talk page will direct you to the criteria it DOES fit, and the sources are cited within the article. PT 17:10, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
    • I did state probable vanity - I didn't say it /was/ vanity. I checked the talk page. Specifically, I don't think they've done a full national tour, I wouldn't describe the competition as major, I don't think the articles are in major publications and the band doesn't establish a new notable style for a city (well, one that's /itself/ established enough to itself be notable and varifiable). -Halo 18:56, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom, Dmcdevit, and Halo. Even with recent revisions, there are still no assertions of notability that both meet WP:MUSIC and are supported by WP:Reliable sources. --Satori Son 13:31, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
  • There are PLENTY of assertions of notability within the article and on the talk page, and they are all cited with reliable sources. PT 17:10, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
    • I respectfully disagree for the reasons clearly stated above by Dmcdevit and Halo. --Satori Son 18:22, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
      • But those reasons, while clearly stated, are totally wrong. PT 18:35, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, potential but not up with WP:MUSIC. Deizio talk 13:52, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
• Comment - OK, this is REALLY weird... there was an article about HeartAttaCk on Misplaced Pages for a long time, and yesterday was the last time I saw it. What has happened to it in the last 24 hours? PT 17:13, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Yet another G11 casualty. Who'da thunk you could advertise an out-of-business 'zine on Misplaced Pages. --badlydrawnjeff talk 17:45, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
    • A zine that you could get for free, no less (or at the very most have to pay 50 cents for). I assume you're being facetious about the idea of a defunct zine using Misplaced Pages space to advertise? I have requested a deletion overturn at the WP:DRV. Seems there is a war between the music fans and non-music fans. PT 17:51, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
      • I agree with you on this particular CSD, but I don't think you should assume that those of us arguing about sources are not music fans. bikeable (talk) 18:02, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
        • Not all, but a lot of these AfDs seem to be put up by people who don't really "get it." PT 18:04, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per User:Zoe; fails WP:MUSIC Eusebeus 18:01, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
  • But how does it fail WP:MUSIC? The article was written with WP:MUSIC in mind, and all assertions of notability that meet that criteria have been backed up by reliable sources. PT 18:04, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - "I haven't heard of them" is NOT an acceptable reason for deletion. PT 18:09, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment: If someone considers them well informed on the subject, then IMO "I haven't heard of them" is quite acceptable initial criteria. IMO, this article goes against the general jist and spirit of WP:Music. I admit that you put up a compelling argument, but it still doesn't quite fully establish any of the criteria. Halo 18:56, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: PT has asked me to look into this. I voted keep in a previous round at AfD, but I'm not clear on what "new information" has been added that should overide the weak consensus from that debate. The article is well-written and well-sourced, but the band at best treads just on the edges of our notability criteria. Vote withheld (for now at least). -MrFizyx 18:33, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
  • My friend/guardian angel... the new information has to do with the Best of Phoenix award and the controversy in HeartAttaCk over AJJ's lyrics. PT 18:37, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Sorry old friend, I'm staying out of this--I see you've sent invitations to all the "keep" votes in our last debate, but none of the "delete" voters. Still, may the better argument win. -MrFizyx 04:53, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Fizyx has also provided a great link regarding AJJ's connection to audioconfusion. PT 18:52, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - per arguements above, cite information, notable group, media coverage. While the coverage is college papers, which i dont think are RS, others have repeatedly told em they are including the people at WP:RS. --NuclearZer0 19:35, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. No released albums, the "awards" are extremely minor, the coverage seems to be in local rags. Read the intent of WP:MUSIC, not the strict legalistic wording, as it was hardly written to legal rigor. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 20:10, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. College newspapers and community newspapers are reliable when they do their job properly, as most of them do. "Local rags" are perfectly acceptable as sources. The rule is that a band is notable if it meets any one of the criteria, and this band does. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 21:41, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete a local band having news mentions is completely normal. Any proof the band has sold 5000 records per WP:BAND? That would have this. Arbusto 01:21, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
  • It doesn't need to have sold 5000 records. It already meets WP:MUSIC, as stated on the talk page. PT 02:06, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
    • 1) You created the article. 2) You posted comments on the talk claiming it meets WP:MUSIC, but no one else agreed. 3) The only sources that meet WP:V are local papers. Even then there is only three articles; none meet WP:MUSIC. 4) Taking all that into account and the policy at WP:MUSIC, this should be deleted. Arbusto 04:31, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
