[edit] Duran Duran Duran

This afd nomination was incomplete. The nominator's reasoning was that it was tagged db-band, but isn't a speedy candidate. Listing now. —Crypticbot (operator) 15:34, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

• Weak keep. Album reviewed at Pitchfork Media [1], and the webpage shows the album being featured rather unflatteringly in Vice Magazine. Close enough to WP:MUSIC for me. --badlydrawnjeff 14:15, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep meets WP:MUSIC. Stifle 16:43, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

duran duran duran is an established member of the breakcore community. the deletion of this article would be to do harm to the preexisting breakcore article. please keep in mind that breakcore as a genre is underground, and therefor, most media does not keep up with it- it is a self-contained subculture.

• If it's underground, why should Wikipedia, a mainstream encyclopedia, bother to cover it? --Agamemnon2 13:11, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Because even underground acts can meet WP:MUSIC, even with WP:MUSIC's numerous failings. --badlydrawnjeff 14:36, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Definite keep What kinda BS is this? Only mainstream music should be covered by Wikipedia? I hope this isn't a policy of WP 'cause that would make all the work I've put in the WP the last year obsolete. This article should not be deleted. Duran Duran Duran is an important artist in Breakcore and if you delete this you might as well delete the whole breakcore article and why not the comple electronic music part of the WP. psi36 15:39, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, media coverage. Kappa 08:59, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
