Talk:Už Jsme Doma

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Uz Jsme Doma have been around for 20 years, and have 5 full length studio albums. How else can i establish their notability? Additionally, Wikipedia states that an article on a band that doesn't seem evidently notable is not alone criteria enough for speedy deletion, does it not?

If that makes them notable, then please do add it to the article. An article that simply says "[name of band] is a [genre] band from [city, country]" is bound to be deleted, because it doesn't assert anything more than the mere fact that it exists, which is nowhere near enough for Wikipedia.

I've removed the speedy and replaced it with a PROD. I am giving this the benefit of 5 days to make an actual sourced assertion per WP:MUSIC.--Isotope23 18:54, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Good idea, but I see that the prod-tag has been removed by the article's creator, with the explanation "removing deletion proposal as page as been improved and I detest the neccesity of page deletion". Common procedure when a prod tag is removed, is to move the discussion to AFD instead. I won't do that for now, to give the author a chance to improve the article. I will, however, reserve the right to nominate the article for AFD when the five-day period has ended, if I feel that notability has not been asserted. Aecis^Brievenbus 10:59, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Page updated

I've overhauled this page but am not clear on how to properly state image copyrights, so hopefully they'll remain. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Colinclarksmith (talk • contribs) 22:44, 23 April 2007 (UTC).

Well, I don't really know anything about Wikipedia, or how it works, but I came to this page just to find out who exactly wrote the original article, which I came to looking for the correct spelling of the original Sax player's name for something I am writing.

I am the former Canadian agent for the band, and worked with them from 1995 to 1997, and I can affirm that any idea that this band is not notable enough for inclusion at Wikipedia is simply wrong. Not only are they notable, but they are also an important and ground breaking Eastern European rock band and next to Plastic People of the Universe, the Czech Republic's most well known international underground act.

They were for a time signed to BMG Music for the release of "Hollywood", they toured with the Residents, and also toured Canada three times as part of their US tours, of which their were many. On one of these tours they recorded a live concert (Starfish Room 1997 -- source Poli Pet: http://www.polipet.cz/titul.php?id=458 ) for the Canadian Broadacsting Corporation, which was later releazed as a CD, a small addition to a quantity of internationally released recordings of their music. And that just touches on the stuff that I was directly involved in.

Not only that, but they are also politically important, as part of (or at least heirs too) the Czech Republics Charter 77 movement. Wanek even played some small part in the interim government during the Velevet Revolution, I believe. They toured Bosnia during the civil war. Their live sound engineer did sound for the Pope on his first ever post communist era appearance in Prague. Funny but true.
