[edit] The Blue Humans

The Blue Humans (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable band. Does not meet WP:MUSIC, no WP:RS, discogs only lists 1 CD release. Leuko 07:33, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep, highly notable members and collaborators, found some sources here and here. 96T 10:49, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - Fails WP:MUSIC, sources given are not reliable sources and do not assert notability. /Blaxthos 11:27, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
    • It certainly meets WP:MUSIC #6 (notable members), perhaps #7 as well. 96T 12:05, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
      • Let's not be misleading -- #6 recommends redirects for side projects and "early bands" and does not directly establish notability. #7 specifically (and all requirements in general) still require verification by reliable sources. /Blaxthos 15:43, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
        • Ten minutes of research gives me these results: Here is an Alan Licht interview dealing with Blue Project, with a well respected rock historian as interviewer. Here is another Alan Licht interview mentioning the band several times. Here is yet another, seems to be from a print magazine. They also have their own bio at All Music Guide (yes, I know "all" artists have entries there, but not all artists have bios). This AMG review states that The Blue Humans was an imortant influence on Sonic Youth. And non-notable bands don't get to be produced by Thurston Moore. This article needs sources alright, but it should definitely not be deleted. 96T 22:16, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:MUSIC and WP:RS. STORMTRACKER 94 12:11, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - no sources, no assertion, no notability. NASCAR Fan24(radio me!) 13:09, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep did anyone check google. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] The band is notable, and the artists that make up the band are more then notable and influential.Ridernyc 10:46, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

  5. ^ Arthur Doyle Plus 4 - Alabama Feeling - Professor freddy's Jazz & Blues University - by freddydwight
  • Weak Delete NY Times article above is a bad link. The other sources prove that the individual people are notable (but this is not in doubt), but I still cannot see adequate evidence that this particular ensemble is notable enough for WP:Music. A1octopus 17:55, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
