[edit] Anakrid

Anakrid (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Appears to be a non-notable artist. The creation's edit summary says "created by artist" so I smell a conflict of interest here. As the article stands, he fails WP:MUSIC by a long shot -- despite a myriad of albums he's released them all himself.

  • Delete both Anakrid per nom. Fails WP:BAND and appears to be PR spam. "Official website" is a myspace page. --Evb-wiki 02:03, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
    • The article re Chris Bickel may be notable for his other work and probably deserves a weak keep. --Evb-wiki 19:13, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as COI. --Lenin and McCarthy | (Complain here) 02:49, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete both for no assertion of notability using reliable third-party sources. COI and NPOV are also concerns here.-- aBSuRDiST -T J C- 04:58, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete The most "notable" link I could find was from discogs, but it still doesn't make the cut. There has to be multiple, reputable sources that recognise this band. Spellcast 13:35, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
  • I am the author of the article and I get the picture guys. I'll try again in a few years when I'm more "notable". Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.63.240.80 (talk) — 70.63.240.80 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
Well, I wish you all the best in your endeavours and maybe editors will be editing an article about you in the future. ;) Spellcast 13:57, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Another note here from the author. In my defense, I'll say that I entered this article merely for informational/documentational purposes. I'm not trying to use Wikipedia for PR or self-promotion. If I were interested in popularity, I'd definitely be operating in a different field of music! I tried to avoid any kind of language in the article that was promotional or self-serving. I do understand the points made here though, and there will be no hard feelings if the editors find my entry not notable enough for inclusion. Thanks to user Spellcast for at least being very polite in this discussion.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.63.240.80 (talk)
  • Chris Bickel has a long and respected career in music, notably in the hardcore bands In/Humanity and Guyana Punchline. His experimental music project Anakrid records for Beta-lactam Ring Records, which is a reputable label for experimental music. While the audience for such music is admittedly small, it should not be treated as insignificant. As a professional editor (and former music editor), I believe the Anakrid entry should stand.

  • Another note from the author. Thanks to Dan Cook, editor of the Free Times (www.free-times.com) for coming to my defense. Both In/Humanity and Guyana Punch Line are well-documented on the internet. Allmusic Guide (www.allmusic.com) even gives the In/Humanity discography four and a half stars. So, I don't know if that will be a testament to "notability" for the editors or not, but I'm glad Dan threw that out there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Smashism (talk • contribs)
