Article Grading: The following comments were left by the quality and importance raters: (edit · refresh) Considered outside scope and AFDable... I feel we as a Project don't have to take 'ownership' of this one. It's not a Beatles article, it's an article about an 'amusing' covers album. I've tagged it with {{importance}}; save for a badly worded IP edit saying it was played at parties in "rural Florida" and once got played on a student radio station, there's no assertion of notability. 0 incoming links from mainspace. Probably shouldn't be in category and I think it's a strong AFD candidate too (but I haven't Googled for it yet; waiting for others' comments first). -- Steve (6 March 2006) Update 22 Mar 06, result of AfD was keep. Suppose we have to take it under our wing? If so, what to do? It's a start class article at best. ++Lar: t/c 17:38, 22 March 2006 (UTC) We might need a new category to put the Beatles-related stuff into (see discussion below at Beatlemania (musical)). For now, just regrade it as stub or start class or I guess. --kingboyk 18:10, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Importance

Google: [1] doesn't seem to turn up much notability. Amazon doesn't have it, and they have a lot of obscure stuff... Neither of those are definitive but I'd say give it a week or two, maybe contact some of the folk on this list to ask for info, if nothing pops up, AfD it... that usually gets people to improve articles if they're improvable. Agree it does not belong in the main Beatles category. ++Lar: t/c 05:15, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

I'll start by leaving a message for the article creator, Longhair. --kingboyk 16:57, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Replied on your talk page. -- Longhair 17:23, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

I don't agree with the removal of the importance tag. It's an album by dogs not by The Beatles :-) I'm sure it's fun - I'd like a copy myself - but is it notable? --kingboyk 17:26, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

I don't have any sales information handy, and I'm looking about to see what else this group released. All Music Guide has a listing, though it's rather blank on information :( . I'm not too fussed about the removal from the Beatles category. It's not Beatles material afterall. -- Longhair 17:36, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

If it stays, we can look at moving it into a subcategory. It doesn't belong in the parent category, subcat is fine. --kingboyk 17:46, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
