[edit] Pedigree (band)

Pedigree (band) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

PROD removed. Request for sources appears to have been ignored. A googles search for "Pedigree" obviously would bring forth a ridiculous amount of hits. However, a google search for Pedigree and Taavi Aavik (a band member) brings forth 18 hits. A search for Pedigree and Margo Rindemaa (another band member) brings forth 2 hits. Non-notable band.

• Delete Very non-notable, unknown even in Estonia (asked around in a party today, not that is a reason for deletion in WP). -- Sander Säde 20:25, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
• Strong keep While being not pop-music band, it's probably oldest Industrial band in Estonia and this alone makes it notable. Has performed on one of the estonias biggest concerts (Metallica) and has released album under the metal label in Estonia Nailboard Records (Metsatöll, Loits, Tharapita). For example many people don't know bands like Mayhem, Burzum or Dark Funeral either, but they are very notable nevertheless. Suva Чего? 21:57, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Sources? -- Sander Säde 09:08, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

There are two magazines which work with alternative music in Estonia, one was Pläkk and other, current one is Nailboard Magazine. I don't have archive of either one unfortunately.

I got some results from online mags: with Pedigree about Metallica concert about Ghosts and Corpses. EMC page has few reviews. That's the problem with estonian underground journalism. It sucks. Fact of being one of estonian oldest industrial groups is probably written somewhere, but I can't source it right now. As for original research, the Pedigree was founded on 1993, Whaw!Zaiks also claims to come from 1993, but is not really active anymore. Other groups came lot later.

P.S. Pedigree released it's first album on 1994, while Whaw!Zaiks on 1998. I do think, that [1] can be used as a source aswell. Suva Чего? 10:15, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
