Seventeen Minutes In The Cheap Seats[edit]

Article is for album mistakenly attributed to band MGMT. This album is by an unrelated band who predated MGMT in use of the name "The Managment". All the sources from MGMT article indicate that the band was formed in December 2001 while the founders were in their first semester of college. This album is listed on Amazon as being published in July 2001. William Graham ^talk 06:37, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Right; MGMT's official website also gives the 2002 formation date, so this is plain wierd. It's worth also noting that neither this other band nor the label have articles, so notability is doubtful and not asserted aside from the false claim. Google hits are unconvincing and few from a quick search. Someguy1221 (talk) 07:13, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think this article should be kept so future readers have a reference to the previous band, and don't confuse it with MGMT. User:Jmckinley ^talk 17:11, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It just seems that would be a kind of strange reason to keep in article in consideration of the notability criteria. It would be like adding the criterion that having the same name as a notable entity automatically gets something an article. Someguy1221 (talk) 08:19, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Should it simply be mentioned on the main MGMT page then? User:Jmckinley ^talk 19:54, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, no, and for the same reason. Just change "gets something an article" to "gets something a mention." For the same reason we don't have a list of cybersquatting copycats at every article on an online company, and this is what prevents me from starting my own "The Management" band and getting it a mention on Wikipedia merely by existing.
