[edit] Jeans (band)

Nominated by anon. Completing nom with no vote. Fan-1967 17:12, 22 September 2006 (UTC) Fan-1967 17:12, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy delete - "The band enjoys worldwide popularity and is the best-known member of the early-1990s" isn't an assertion of notability. Tagged as such. MER-C 01:50, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep How do you decide a speedy delete for a band with two albums on EMI/Capitol? That alone clearly demonstrates notability under WP:MUSIC. Period. End of discussion. The article is atrocious, though, and definately needs a major cleanup of both grammar and POV (every band member leaving the band is listed as a desertion. funny)Guyanakoolaid 23:54, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Perhaps if someone (a) familiar with the band, and (b) fluent in English, could work on it, it could be easier to see the band's acomplishments. Quite frankly, most of the article is incomprehensible. Fan-1967 23:52, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• I suspect that "desertion" wording, as well as many other problems, may be the result of using a machine translation program, which often produces bizarre results. Fan-1967 23:56, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Comment I honestly tried to clean this up, but it is pretty hopeless. However, searching an album title + Jeans produces a ton of results (including walmart.com! as much as I hate walmart, if they're selling your album, it's gotta be notable) and the band is clearly notable. I still vote Keep, but have deleted most of the content from the article. I really see no other way, it was almost complete gibberish, and what could be deciphered was mostly gossip and POV. I left the relevant info. Guyanakoolaid 01:06, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• Note An IP restored most of the removed content, but I have reverted it and, as nicely as I could, left a note that perhaps it would be better to find someone who knows English to work on it. The content was, quite frankly, largely incomprehensible. Fan-1967 21:28, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• Note This IP is virtually the same as the one who originally put most of the gibberish up and who deleted the AfD tag.Guyanakoolaid 21:58, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, meets WP:MUSIC guideline. --badlydrawnjeff talk 10:52, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, providing that proper sources are added to the article. They're listed at allmusic.com. PJM 15:00, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
