More information about this article... The following comments have been left for this page: Hello. My name is Cory Ferber and I am the one who has updated the STS9 Wiki entry over the past few months. I do not work for the band. I have been a fan of the band, and seeing them live, for over 6 years now. I am written other articles about the band and I am not trying to promote them. I am sorry to hear the STS9 entry doesn't meet some sort of standard but I hope you will leave the material and allow us (the fans) to change it over time - instead of just removing it all. Writing an entry for Wiki isn't easy, and now you have presented us with more information to clean up. I think the material included there right now is very close to a BIO and can easily be shaped to meet any standards. If your looking for information on STS9 such as who they are, what they sound like, what they do, and why they are important - I think all this information is relevant. STS9 is the most succesful Bay Area band since the Grateful Dead. No other band has played the all these venues so many times with a growing fan base. STS9 needs a Wiki entry!! Sorry for any problems this has caused anyone. I don't have a Wiki account yet so I posting this here. Peace. (edit)

I'm taking off "it is considered by many to be space music with a beat" —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jearnold (talk • contribs) 02:13, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Wow, did somebody edit this to say "boner calendar" instead of "mayan calendar?" I don't know for sure that that is not some sort of term (but I'm fairly confident), so I won't edit it back. In any case, that doesn't seem right.

Um, "the band continues to ride their popularity"? WTF does that mean, to "ride" their popularity? Does their popularity look like a bitch? What? I said... does their popularity look like a bitch? No! Then why are they trying to ride it like one?

I agree, this article should be kept. For god's sake, I live in the middle of nowhere in Alabama, and I've heard of these people T-1 22:20, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

however, I do like to point out, the article needs some major cleanup, with citations and whatnot T-1 01:57, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

STS9 is absolutely relevant. This article should not be deleted. I'm new to editing Wikipedia, but I will definitely do my part to clean up this article to the correct standards. For starters, I've added at least one reference, and it will not be difficult to add lots more. Runawayjim8 16:37, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Why on earth would this not be relevant? I'm removing the tag.

I added a bit about their emission offset effort for their upcoming tour. However, I don't know if I referenced it correctly. The article is from jambase, but I think they just reprinted it from a STS9 press-release. Can somebody with a little more knowledge on reliable sources help? Is this still considered a reliable source? I will do a bit of research myself...still learning!Runawayjim8 19:30, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey, this is Felix, ive been a fan for a while. i just edited the concert section and threw in a new section describing their music. Ive tried to reference everything. Hopefully this will prove their notability!!!

Trevor here, new to discussion. I edited the concert and tours section, trying to make them a little more objective (less like 'advertising'). Still quite a few citations needed.

[edit] Notability

Hi, I've just added (back) the Notability tag for several reasons. First, I would suggest reading the guidelines so that this particular question can be addressed here on the talk page and put to rest.

Next, since the members of the band are living, we will need to pay even stricter attention to verifiabilty guidelines than normal. At present, very little of the information cites sources. As there are references to living individuals the Biographies of living persons guidelines apply. Thanks! Mdbrownmsw 15:35, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm very familiar with WP:MUSIC, thank you, and a regular participant in AfD discussions, and I really don't see how anyone could overlook the very obvious claims of regular nationwide touring, but if that's not enough for you (and it certainly should be), I've added a cite for their appearance on Billboard charts. Any more questions? Xtifr _tälk 10:25, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

-STS9 was discussed/played on NPR sunday night music show, their music was also feautred on CSI in I believe two episodes, if anyone has the time to reference that it would be great imo.-02 dec, 2006

-The songs were "Possibilities" and "Peoples (Cause and Effect Remix)" on CSI:NY episodes #219 and #220.

I found the date that sts9 was FEATURED on npr's "Echoes". sts9 was featured including an interview with "Guitarist Hunter Brown and bassist David Murphy" on May 22, 2005. link -> <A href="http://www.echoes.org/cgi-bin/search/search.pl?q=sound%20tribe&showurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.echoes.org%2Fplaylists%2Fsun05.22.05.html"> </A> I think this would make a great contribution, echoes in played on over 150 stations. I would add it myself but im not the best write, not sober either. SkimmerX 08:10, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
