[edit] NPOV

This article got tagged for NPOV... What should be changed, what should be kept?--Adrift* 23:35, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

As a massive fan of the band, and being well aware of their past history, I don't see anything really wrong with it at all. Perhaps an omission is some discussion of the influence they had on the whole then-burgeoning goth scene, as well as the massive help they gave to other struggling bands at the time? Otherwise the article is fine.

I'm a fan of the band as well, but i think the main problem is that the article comes off looking a bit too much like a fan page or a promo for the band.--Adrift* 23:07, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
Here's a few specific reasons why the article merits the POV tag at the moment:
  • "both effervescent waltzes of dark intent" - it may be in quotes, but as it doesn't say who said this (if anyone?) it looks biased.
  • "UK Decay’s splendid debut album" is obviously POV
  • "The influence UK Decay had on the emerging ‘Post punk’ and ‘Goth’ movements is well documented and cannot be underestimated." - If it's so well documented, a reference for this statement would be nice.
  • section titles like "When it all goes well, we go home ..." are not very suitable for encylopedic content.
