Talk:The Davenports

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I believe this article should not be marked for deletion. I've consulted the page criteria for Notability(Music), and in particular, "Criteria for Musicians and Ensembles." I believe The Davenports are notable based on at least two criteria:

  • #1 It has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable.[1]

Reviews of the CD "Hi-Tech Lowlife" appear on both popmatters.com and cdbaby.com

  • #5 Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable).

The Davenports have released two albums (with a third scheduled later this year) on Mother West records.

  • #10 Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g. a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a compilation album, etc

The band's song "Five Steps" is the theme song to the A&E series Intervention. This is mentioned in the article.

[edit] Improvements to article demonstrating notability

  • "has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g. a theme for a network television show..." provided references to one of the band's songs being used as the theme to a network television show, and a reference to their music being used in two other network television shows.
  • "...the subject of multiple non-trivial published works..." provided references to album reviews in multiple publications

[edit] Re-insertion of an external link removed by bot

A Wiki bot removed a link to a MySpace page that I'd added (and subsequently fixed a typo). I understand that MySpace pages are to normally be avoided but from the WP:EL page may be included if:

Except for a link to a page that is the subject of the article or an official page of the article subject—and not prohibited by restrictions on linking—one should avoid:

The MySpace link I'm adding is a page to the subject of the article (namely, the MySpace page of The Davenports). —Preceding unsigned comment added by W0129 (talk • contribs) 01:07, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
