Drop Dead, Gorgeous[edit]
Non-notable band on a vanity label. Peyna 19:06, 28 May 2006 (UTC) Delete Not notable. Somebody copied the description from allmusicguide.com into the article. --Starionwolf 20:12, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Hardly notable, according to their biography. {{db-band}} candidates until they satisfy the criteria on WP:BAND. Stick to Myspace for the timebeing. (aeropagitica) (talk) 22:01, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- The band appears notable enough for mine. As starionwolf notes, they have a substantial article at allmusic.com making them notable enough for mine see [1] However, the article is largely a word for word copy of that article so is largely a copyvio and has been reported as such. I would be happy to see a non-copyvio article created on this band using the Allmusic.com article and other verifiable sources. Delete as copyvio. Capitalistroadster 02:43, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Rise Records (the record label fro Drop Dead, Gorgeous)is not a vanity label, but a notable indie that has signed many bands who have gone on to bigger labels, such as Ever We Fall (Hopeless Records) and Fear Before The March Of Flames (Equal Vision). Those who submit opinions into this section should really do their research before they randomly ad their thoughts. The band Drop Dead, Gorgeous is well known throughout the country, and has been receiving favorable writeups in the music press. Whether you like this style of music or not, Drop Dead, Gorgeous is a notable force of the indie music scene and deserve a page on Wikipedia. I vote to KEEP. Respectfully submitted, Ken Morton, Editor, Highwire Daze
