Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Human Cannonball

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was keep, but move to Human Cannonball (album). Rather than make this title a disambig, I think the better practice is to redirect it to Human cannonball, and drop a reference to the album above that article. -- BD2412 talk 02:58, July 14, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Human Cannonball

Delete as unencyclopaedic--File Éireann 4 July 2005 18:17 (UTC)

  • Keep. Why? There are plenty of album articles in Wikipedia. Of course, if it is too non-notable, it deserves deletion. 702 Google hits.[1]--Jyril July 4, 2005 19:26 (UTC)
  • Keep; this can be improved. AMG has a listing of this album: [2] Jaxl 4 July 2005 19:31 (UTC)
    Comment: I fixed it up; I'll withdraw my vote and see if it's still an acceptable article to the majority. Jaxl 4 July 2005 19:52 (UTC)
    Comment (in response to JamesMLane's comment); if this article is kept, I'll vote to move it to Human Cannonball (album). Jaxl 5 July 2005 01:53 (UTC)
  • Delete — from what I read, the sales of this album tanked and the band folded afterward. The album name is already listed on the band's page and there's nothing else of interest here. — RJH 4 July 2005 19:47 (UTC)
  • Keep, album by notable band. Kappa 4 July 2005 21:06 (UTC)
  • Keep. Well done Jaxl. This is now a good article. Capitalistroadster 5 July 2005 01:22 (UTC)
  • Delete as per RJH. JamesBurns 5 July 2005 01:43 (UTC)
  • Comment. No vote on keep/delete, but it lends itself to confusion with the article on the circus act Human cannonball. If the album article is kept, it should be renamed Human Cannonball (album). If it's deleted, then this title should become a redirect to the circus act article. Meanwhile, I've added a reference on each to the other. JamesMLane 5 July 2005 01:49 (UTC)
  • Keep but disambig, I believe one of the New Mutants goes by that name, in the Marvel Comics universe. Radiant_>|< July 5, 2005 12:11 (UTC)
    • I'm glad I'm not the only one who's wasted a lot of time on comic books, although this character came along after I'd stopped reading them. It seems that his "official" name was simply Cannonball. We already have an article on him at Cannonball (comics). JamesMLane 8 July 2005 09:02 (UTC)
  • Doesn't anyone vote Merge anymore? This can safely go in as additional nineteen lines in the existing School of Fish article. NeverTheSameNameTwice 8 July 2005 09:25 (UTC)
  • Comment: If this were merged into School of Fish, then it would also call for merging in their other album (School of Fish (album)) into the School of Fish article. If one was to merge that one into School of Fish as well, then that would make a really confusing article with two infoboxes. The albums should be kept seperate from the main article. I'm still in favor of moving to Human Cannonball (album). Jaxl 8 July 2005 20:05 (UTC)
  • Comment: Problems with formatting are not a reason to seperate separate an article. Fourty or so extra lines can easily fit in the 'base' School Of Fish. Unless there is something particulary noteworthy about these album other than their existance they do not merit their own articles. OkI'llUseTheSameNameJustThisOnce 9 July 2005 04:21 (UTC)
  • Comment: Maybe so, but I've definitely seen album articles with less information. I didn't author the article, and it doesn't really matter to me if it is deleted or merged into School of Fish, but I wouldn't mind it being moved as I said above. If someone can figure out how to deal with the infoboxes already present (or maybe even just delete them), then go ahead and merge the articles. Jaxl 9 July 2005 04:32 (UTC)
