[edit] primary article for the term

deleted? of course not, but it shouldn't be the primary article for the term "gatecrasher." there's a term in wide, international use by that name. that should be the primary article, not one with the parenthetical (person) after it. especially because due to some kind of confusing nonesense, other terms like "gatecrashing" redirect to it, which is baffling.

[edit] deletion

why should this page be deleted? Gatecrasher is one of the largest dance music events of it's kind in the world... Nick Boulevard 23:12, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Is there a suggestion that it should be? In it's time it was easily the most influential nightclub in the world, i met people in there from all kinds of countries that came to the UK just to visit GC - including Japan, Australia and Isreal to name but a few - the very notion of deletion is rediculus.. the actual event itself in it's current state should be deleted though, but that's a different conversation entirely ;) --Streaky 14:13, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blatant mistake

--- although the republic was refitted and renamed (gatecrasher 1) in 2003 gatecrasher have in fact owned it since 1998 (i think) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.148.120.246 (talk) 04:02, June 26, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Changes to the brand

In 2003 'Gatecrasher' the event changed to 'Crasher'. At the same time, the venue 'Republic' changed its name to 'Gatecrasher 1'. This change is evidenced by historical flyers (probably by Designers Republic) which show the event labelled as 'Gatecrasher' but with 'Gate' crossed/scribbled out. This horrific business revamp (which coincided with a literal refurbishment) pretty much marked the end of what could be called the 'classic' Gatecrasher era and was, in my opinion, the death knell of trance music in the north of England.
