[edit] Antediluvian Rocking Horse

Antediluvian Rocking Horse (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Speedy nominee but some claim of notability; no personal opinion. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 11:56, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi there. I'm the user who initiated the page. As a novice editor, I'd appreciate your advice in fashioning this article to merit inclusion. As one with an interest in (a) the artist mentioned and (b) contributing further articles, I'd be most grateful.--Hrazer 12:37, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Notability. Google lists 2,050 returns for this exact phrase search. Several citations are now listed within the text with information acquired from major publications the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age. The wikipedia page describing Australian avante-garde composer Ollie Olsen lists Antediluvian Rocking Horse as a collaborator. Connections are established and verified through external links with Damo Suzuki, Snog and Negativland. --Hrazer 16:42, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Here's the absolute minimum for inclusion in Wikipedia: verifiability and notability. MER-C 14:11, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks and merciMER-C. I have read these pages and have complied. I appreciate you taking the time. --Hrazer 14:29, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. There are some indications of notability including a Melbourne Age [1] and Sydney Morning Herald article. I might see if I can get David Gerard to give his views on it. Capitalistroadster 02:01, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: I'll investigate a little further - David Gerard 11:59, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- Capitalistroadster 02:01, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Notability and verifiability. More citations added. Including: Artist inclusion within intellectual property doctoral thesis The Pirate Bazaar: The Social Life of Copyright Lawref. Artist contribution to biennial Australian copyright symposium. ref.--Hrazer 10:17, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

• Keep is my suggestion. I've added some stuff about this artist. I think they qualify as notable: international releases, a fair bit of chatting to mainstream press.--Occasionaluser 00:23, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

• Weak Keep, borderline in my opinion, but probably good enough to fall over the line. Article could use some improvement though, there's no discussion of what the group actually produces (music, paintings, writing) until the second half of the article. Lankiveil 10:19, 3 December 2006 (UTC).

Thanks for your constructive criticism Lankiveil. I'll add some more explicit information.--Hrazer 07:27, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Coverage in the Sydney Morning Herald (one of Australia's leading newspapers) and Mixmag (one of the world's leading electronic music monthlies) suggests notability and availability of reliable sources. --kingboyk 20:12, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
