[edit] Guided by Voices

Highly influential and very prolific indie-rock pioneers led by frontman Robert Pollard who, for twenty-one years, established themselves as leaders of the lo-fi indie genre, and created a very large following from indie listeners. ThirdPoliceman 21:18, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

  • And with an article lacking any references or sources. Strong oppose on said grounds. --Lenin and McCarthy | (Complain here) 22:24, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
  • strong oppose - no references! did this even have a GAC review? this topic should include coverage from major national media sources (nytimes, rolling stone, chicago tribune, etc) including performance reviews, album reviews, and cultural influences. for an FA, i would also expect prose and reference regarding appearances in rock and roll poster art, e.g. Derek Hess and Frank Kozik among others.

  • Oppose per Lenin and McCarthy and LurkingInChicago. No references or inline citations. WesleyDodds 05:27, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Next time, consider the merits of the article independent of its subject.--Rmky87 18:25, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose/Comment No references whatsoever is a big one, but there are a few other huge reasons why this couldn't be featured. However, this is sitting somewhere in the back of my future projects list, and I just got a biography of the band. --Brandt Luke Zorn 07:36, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
