Talk:Escape the Fate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This band may seem not notable to the average wiki editor, but I assure you they are. Please do some research on the band before you decide to delete them. Their popularity has exploded within the last few months. I was very surprised to find that Wikipedia did not have a page on them yet. Recently they were singed to Epitaph Records and their EP is sellign extremely well as proved on the Smartpunk website. Avenged Evanfold 20:54, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Content

Perhaps you could provide some content for the article then, before someone trigger-happy slaps a speedy on it? Dweller 21:03, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Hey bring back my article, I want it back, I didnt even get a chance to defenc myself! Did i not just nake it clear that they are new, have very little work produced, btu are hugely popular? JUST a myspace? Is Tila Tequila JUST a myspace account? Dont mess aroudn when I ask you not to mess aroudn with things you dont understand! Avenged Evanfold 21:04, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Seriously, I dont even know who deleted it, bring it back right now and explain YOURSELF! Dont delete articles and then dissapear like a sneaky little... forget it, I'll just recreate it. Avenged Evanfold 21:07, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

? It's still there. As explained above, I didn't put a tag on it. Dweller 21:08, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

(it was recreated) AE: Work the process. Ask a sympathetic admin to restore it to your userspace and work on it, citing verifiable sources, to establish notability, and once you've had some non involved people look at it and say they think it would pass, de-userify it back to article space. Note, if you apologise to Allison and stop demanding undeletion I will happily userify it if asked politely on my talk page. OR... take it to DRV and make your case that it should be undeleted and taken through AfD. But storming around won't help you or your case. And whatever you do, don't recreate speedy deleted content without involving others, admins first. Work politely and civilly... you may achieve what you want. OR... continue storming around and get a block for your trouble. Your choice. ++Lar: t/c 21:50, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

forget about it, ill just rewrite it later, she doesnt care. im not gonna swear because you all want to pretend youre so smart and above that. so hee it is, delete this page if you have the authority and then i'll bring it back later.Avenged Evanfold 21:55, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Okay i made the article again, and you cant delete it because they have an allmusic entry, among other reasons for notability. Avenged Evanfold 16:56, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

I believe it was suggested that you work in your userspace. Please review our music notability guidelines. Having an allmusic entry is not necessarily evidence of notability. Which of the criteria does this band satisfy? I'll hold off on actually nominating this for deletion for a little bit, to give you time to put that info into the article, but I can't promise others won't. ++Lar: t/c 05:18, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kerrang! review

Escape The Fate, 'There's No Sympathy For The Dead' K (Cosmetic rubbish for the double-lobotomised) Few would have guessed that the dumbing-down and angling for votes from the 'Myspace generation' - that is, people whose brains liquefy if forced to listen to more than three songs at a time - should result in the spawning of this low a quality of detritus. Of course, Escape The fate sound fine. Totally innocuous, they even list the bands they rip off on a large sticker on the front of their debut EP, presumably to save you the trouble pf figuring out where you've heard all the riffs, synthetic harmonies and wanky mini guitar solos before. MC Lars created his own fake scenester band, Hearts That Hate, who were, worryingly, far better than this.

[edit] Genre

since when is etf metalcore? they're post hardcore, not metal at all Emopunk 20:24, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

well atreyu is metalcore and this band seems just like a bad ripoff of atreyu to me but post-hardcore might fit them more than emocore(which is what theyre put as now)

i really dont think their emocore.Dizzydark 20:39, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
