[edit] Galactic (band)

I'm unable to find a significant reason why this band should be listed, other than the fact they make original music. They haven't really been part of any musical milestones. Scaryrobot 13:57, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Non-notable. Gwk 03:46, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep. Since when are only artists involved in "musical milestones" listed on Wikipedia? Granted, this article should be expanded, but by no means deleted. Galactic is a well known band, even to a casual listener of funk such as myself. They have a significant AllMusic.com entry and 859,000 google results (for Galactic+band), many of which are CD and concert reviews in major media sources. royblumy 06:19, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as meeting Wikimusic project guidelines. Their Allmusic.com entry shows five albums most released on major labels or significant independent labels, most of which have made the Billboard contemporary jazz charts. According to Allmusic.com, they have also supported significant artists such as The Meters, Maceo Parker and Medeski, Martin and Wood see [1].Capitalistroadster 06:32, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

• As per Capitalistroadster's research, the band satisfies the WikiProject Music notability and music guidelines. Scaryrobot, contrary to your edit history comment you can explain the significance. (If the editor who had tagged your article had used the {{music-importance}} tag, you would have known this sooner.) Take a look at the guidelines and please add a discography to your article. Keep.
