[edit] Move suggestion

Does anyone else think we should move this article to the less wordy title of just simply, AC/DC trivia? HK51 21:35, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Nah. It's a guideline to avoid trivia anyway. I don't find the name bad at all, I think it's fine. "AC/DC trivia" is just tacky. -- Reaper X 23:05, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
True, point taken. ĤĶ51→Łalk 18:42, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List or article

Is this a list or article? I know it used to be "List of tributes to AC/DC in popular culture", but what now? Is this still a list or is it being changed into article format? -- Reaper X 22:47, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

I've been thinking of changing it into article format, but I'm not quite sure as of yet. It's currently still a list though. ĤĶ51→Łalk 22:55, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
I've converted the "Film" and "Television" sections into prose, but I don't think I'll have any luck converting the "Tributes by other artists" section in a similar way. ĤĶ51→Łalk 21:12, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

I say make it an article. At least if it's in proper prose, it won't be considered trivial, and it's chances of being subjected to another AFD will be reduced. "Tributes by other artists" part is fine as is. -- Reaper X 02:37, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Ok, cool. Well, I've converted most of it into prose, any suggestions for the article so far? ĤĶ51→Łalk 20:06, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] So yeah, I'm taking all the trivial crap off the page

Just so everyone knows. Otto4711 03:43, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

You don't know the meaning of the word "discuss", do you? No-Bullet (Talk • Contribs) 04:51, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
With your attitude and complete lack of Wikquette Otto, I can fast see this turning into an edit war. You need to learn to discuss your points in a civilised manner and you also need to realise that mass deletion is not always the answer to a problem. ĤĶ51→Łalk 19:17, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Hey, I'm just going by what the outcome of the AFD was. Everyone wanted to keep this article and get rid of all the crap that was in it. So I take out the crap just like the AFD said and it all gets put back in. Can't have it both ways, people. Either keep the garbage out of the article or let the article go. Otto4711 02:26, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
First, there was no clear consensus on what the "crap" was in the article. Second, I agreed with some of your edits and kept certain trivial things off the page; so don't try and mislead others who may be reading this. Third, you removed the entire "Television" section, when actually no "Keep" voters specifically stated having a problem with it (Black Falcon agreed with keeping parts of it). Fourth, you removed an item from the "Tributes by other musicians" as you deemed it "Angus Young-centric." Angus Young is a member of AC/DC, thus that is a reference to the band and warrants inclusion in this article. If the entire article was Angus Young-centric you may have had a point.
The only solution I can see to this is to request voters in the AfD debate join this discussion and perhaps draw a poll if consensus cannot be reached. ĤĶ51→Łalk 19:58, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
