Talk:The Coalition of the Willing (band)

[edit] Hang on

"Hang on" please as existence of this page will result in an easy cross reference for a varied music listening audience that is derived from several different, active and prolific musicians each with multiple side projects.

I suspect the code "db-band" refers to "dead beat." This is a short sighted designation.Steve3849 06:25, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

The template {{db-band}} refers to "delete because". And as it indiciates it is a reference to a band that does not assert notability to be included in an encyclopedia. RichMac (Talk) 08:54, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

My apologies for assuming the meaning of this code {{db-band}}. Yet, the decision of deletion related to notability for the encyclopedia seems to me unfounded as several musicians involved with this project do have both notoriety and acclaim. Please reconsider my original statement above.Steve3849 09:17, 18 February 2007 (UTC)


Also, I have made an effort to make cross-linking more useful to interested users. PLEASE look at the "what links here" on the page in question.Steve3849 09:27, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

You can assert they have notoriety and acclaim, but this needs to be documented in reliable sources such as music magazines and cited in the article. ColourBurst 21:09, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
I'm thinking my assertion that several of the artists have "notoriety" would not need to be supported in this article because this is not an article about the musicians themselves, but a particular project to which they have contributed. Wouldn't reliable sources regarding those particular artists more appropriately be found by following the musician's wiki-links within this article?Steve3849 00:33, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
If the only thing that makes this band notable is the notoriety of the artists in the band (number 5 under the general criteria in the guideline), then, yes, you'll need to establish that here with reliable sources. If you can't find sufficient independent sources with meaningful coverage of this band, then the article will have to be deleted or turned into a redirect. Kafziel Talk 13:37, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Notoriety noted with source as allaboutjazz. -- Steve3849(talk) 07:19, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
