[edit] Delisted GA
There are no images, and I find it hard to believe that such a lengthy article could come from a single reference. slambo 17:39, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
- This sure needs some work, but where was it listed as GA in the first place? Marskell 17:01, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Karen Young
Who is the Karen Young mentioned in the "Other immigrant communities" section? Olessi 20:24, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Doug and the Slugs
I'm sure there are lots of bands that were intentially left off, but it seems like an oversight to me that Doug and the Slugs was not mentioned. I went to several of their concernts in the 80's and they drew a significant audience. They also got quite a bit of airplay, including on CFNY (I loved the mention of that great radio station). I now live in the USA and Dougs and the Slugs even got a bit of airplay down here.
- This is an overview article; artists named were chosen as a representative sample rather than an exhaustive list. Bearcat 18:58, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cleanup
I removed the February 2006 cleanup tag as there is no discussion here. Hyacinth 21:16, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
- The article is pretty unreadable. Jkelly 16:20, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
- Agreed, but it's going to take a seriously concerted cleanup effort; this is one of those cases where too many cooks have spoiled the broth. Bearcat 05:18, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
- I have a proposal... lets re-write the whole thing. This thing was obviously written by the folkies and then added to in an ad hoc fashion by everyone else.... I think the folk section needs to become a genre section, and we need to have a debate here on what standards we need to develop for what makes a band notable. I don't know why we would mention specific bands that sold less that GOLD records, or 50,000 copies, on this article, UNLESS it was on the regional section (ie: Kim Stockwood, who I just deleted).
- Lets have a meaningful discussion here about how to edit this garbage. WayeMason 00:09, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Punk & hardcore
There seems to be a gap around punk rock and hardcore punk in Canada. Propagandhi are the main band I am aware of, there is also a category:Canadian hardcore punk bands, can some mention be made? Paul foord 11:26, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
