[edit] Notability

Herman Frank has been an official member of a famous and well-respected German heavy metal band named Accept.--Odd M. Nilsen 09:21, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Name

Herman Frank has been credited with his first name spelled Hermann, and also with a jr. attached to his name. On other releases, and on his own website, he is presented as Herman Frank as it's spelled in this Wikipedia article.--Odd M. Nilsen 09:24, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sources

The information about Frank's work can be verified at his own website, to which there is an external link in the article. I'm not sure whether a person's own claims always are considered reliable. The recording credits can also be verified by the album covers. I found some of the information on Encyclopaedia Metallum.

I'm putting this on the discussion page, as I'm not familiar with the finer points of sourcing material. I'm sorry I can't give priority to search for printed material about Herman Frank.

If a few more reliable web sources would be sufficient to remove the tag, I'll be happy do supply some.--Odd M. Nilsen 13:26, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Personal websites are not considered as independent, unbiased sources - Wikipedia:Verifiability and specifically WP:V#SELF.

If the fact that he was with Accept for their albums Restless and Wild and Balls to the Wall is anywhere on the web (including discographies for either album), those would be ideal references as "proof" of this claim.

The same goes for the claims for each of the bands; if their web-sites make mention of his being connected with them or working with them, simply cite the specific web-site and reference it to each of the bands. If you need assistance in the "referencing" specifics, just drop a line on my talk page. SkierRMH 17:18, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
