Talk:Murple (band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Notability

What exactly do you expect for notability? I would think that having an Amazon listing and 735 google hits for their album would count as at least somewhat notable. Murple (talk) 20:34, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

• And no, I am in no way affiliated with this band seeing as I was wearing diapers when they were recording. Did you even bother to check after I put a holdon tag on the article before and noted that there were a ton of web references to them? Murple (talk) 20:36, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

WP:MUSIC, you haven't shown (or even suggested) that they meet any of the listed criteria. Gromlakh (talk) 20:38, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

• There has been an article on them on Wikipedia for YEARS. They are a well known Italian band. They had one album on a label which is a subsidiary of BASF (yes, the international corporation), collaborated with other artists (example - Gianfranca Montedoro on her Donna circo 1975 album), and are recording a second album titled Quadri di un'esposizione due in 2008. What more do you want them to do, sing in English? Good grief. Murple (talk) 20:45, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Put some of that on the actual page and it'll survive the CSD nom. Provide citations for it and it'll even survive an AfD. Gromlakh (talk) 20:51, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Third opinion

I am responding to a request for a third opinion.

Notability has been asserted in this article and supported by two sources other than the band's website (see Wikipedia:Notability (music)#Criteria for musicians and ensembles for additional details).

A broader discussion via the Wikipedia:Articles for Deletion process may be appropriate if serious concerns about notability remain. — Athaenara ✉ 10:40, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
