[edit] P funk mothership

Nonsense. Maybe notable (or not), but it'd need a ground-up rewrite. Prod removed. Fireplace 21:26, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete (changed to Weak Keep) the mothership concept was pretty important in Parliament lore, and is central to (and on the cover of) their Mothership Connection album, one of the most important albums of its time. However, the current article is unencyclopedic and would need almost a complete rewrite to fix. If anyone is up for doing just that, though, I'll happily change my vote to keep.

  • Updated vote after improvements by Drett. Still needs some sourcing and clarification though, especially statements like "However scientists from America's MIT and Europe's ESA have both observed a strong trend toward increasing world Funk levels..."

• Merge and redirect to P-Funk mythology (which might also need a bit of re-writing). — Catherine\^talk 23:13, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to P-Funk mythology as above. 205.157.110.11 08:42, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I contested the prod on this on the basis that I would fix it up a bit, and then I went to sleep (too funked out, I guess). I've made some changes: removed unnecessary superlatives, added qualifiers to indicate what is part of the mythology. What do youse think now? Drett 10:03, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment As someone completely unfamiliar with the genre, after reading the (revised) article I still have no idea what the mothership is supposed to be. Is it just a stage prop? Does it belong in some narrative? This is why it strikes me as needing a rewrite from a blank slate. Fireplace 15:53, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Reply Hey, I've changed it a bit more. I thought it would need a rewrite from a blank slate too, but I think what is there can be worked into something good. It's a bit better now, but it needs some more about where it fits in the narrative. Drett 21:46, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
