[edit] Andorra the band

Page seems to be about a non-notable band in Australia, from what I can tell from the article and their website, they fail WP:MUSIC. Article was original proposed for deletion. Delete Yanksox 23:23, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. -- Mwanner | Talk 23:30, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

re Andorra the band Wikipedia is not US centric. Because an entrant isnt immediately familar to an editor with their own musical knowledge and tastes doesnt preclude an entrant. Go through the weblinks to see the activity and relevance of the band in the Asia-Pacific. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 61.68.41.79 (talk • contribs).

• • speaking as someone who has worked extensively in music in the Asia-Pacific region, delete. BL Lacertae - kiss the lizard 06:09, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Fails WP:MUSIC. Not listed on Allmusic. Cited links are primarily from forums and blogs. Fan1967 00:15, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per everyone above. No assertion of sufficient notability. -- Kicking222 01:06, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete with prejudice - blog links and a few performances in Sydney's south are not notable enough for an encyclopaedia. SM247 01:31, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete this page along with Andorramusic and Andorra-the-band.

Who are you to say what is note-worthy and what is not?

You see we do a lot of work for social justice here. What difference does it make in your life if this little bit of cyber-space helps us promote our cause peace and progress for our humanity community? None of course, but it will help us. So, let it go by the by and we'll all be happy. No-one is contradicting anyone, vandalising or slandering, we're just detailing several years of political progress through music and our ongoing efforts to bring peace.

Joel we are in the business of building an encylopedia not "[helping to] promote our cause peace and progress for our humanity community". Promote your band somewhere else. Theresa Knott | Taste the Korn 22:10, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

the business of building an encylopedia

A 'encyclopedia' is a store-house of knowledge covering all topics, just as a dictionary is. That includes individuals, organisations, objects and interests. To the communities of Australia our work is of current and historical relevance, as it is world-wide as an example of art, freedom fighting and social justice. A true 'encyclopedia' is one that is compiled objectively, outside of the ethno-centric value systems of an elite (in this case the millioneth of a % who own a computer and have access to the internet.) If you regard your monitoring and contributions here to be of significance then it will encompass that and accomodate the value of our accomplishments. Look through the links for the events and actions we have facilitated and read the responses and impetus they have generated and then ask: 'What have I created and accomplished and, bearing that in mind, what power do I have to eradicate information about others who are inspired to create history?'

Comment: It never ceases to amaze me how people who want to use Wikipedia to promote their cause, their group or themselves suddenly show up and try to tell us how we should do things. User:Zoe|^(talk) 15:25, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Comment Doesn't surprise me in the slightest anymore. If the standards of Wikipedia say this article doesn't belong, then there are two choices: remove the article or attack the standards. Fan1967 15:45, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

• An IP left this comment at the top: Re: It never ceases to amaze me how people who want to use Wikipedia to promote their cause, their group or themselves suddenly show up and try to tell us how we should do things.

History, til this point has purely been a record endorsing the self-serving interests of the rich elite. One potential benefit of the internet (when it becomes accessible to the poor) will be the opportunity to break that standard. Instead of remaining an account which justifies the excesses of a few who reserve the tools that preserve information for themselves, the stranglehold may be broken. Let's hope that accounts, such as the music of social justice, illuminate a pathway to this.

• Comment Add Andorra the rock band, Andorra rock, and Andorra (band) to the ever increasing list. This guy doesn't seem to get it. That being said, WP:MUSIC says that two albums by a major or "more important" indie label establishes notability. Has anyone looked into what labels these were released under? --Kchase02 T 07:07, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Add Oz-andorra to the list, too. Would advise grumpy page-creator to read WP:POINT and provide better-attributed sources for one sole article, to give the project any chance of survivial. IMHO. AlexTiefling 08:42, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - and check what links here for the final list of redirects! Blackspiderhead's childish behaviour means they do not deserve an article here. -- RHaworth 08:51, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment, Childish behavior on the part of a contributor is not a valid reason for deletion - it is cause for disciplinary action against the user. --Dystopos 16:10, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
• And for Pete's sake quit blanking bits of this AfD! AlexTiefling 11:34, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete them all - and block the irritating child who's vandalising. Dweller 11:36, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
