Tony Thaxton[edit]

Articles about band members that haven't done anything notable outside the band. Rwiggum (^Talk/_Contrib) 14:34, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages because they are pages about band members who have done nothing notable outside of the band.:

Merge any useful information to the band's entry. --Cameron * 15:05, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(This was meant to be posted on Joshua Cain's article for deletion page, my bad, so it's about Cain) Nothing notable? He was the co-producer of Metro Station's album which brought the top 10 single "Shake It". He's produced other music as well, Sing It Loud - an upcoming band that'll big big probably next year. I haven't really researched, but that can be done. Sure it's really badly written, but if you're going to go to the trouble of doing this you might as well of fixed the page up yourself, it's not like these pages have been stubs for a year like a hell of a lot of pages i've fixed in the past. And as he said we should just merge it, rather than deleting. But, stuff about his production would be totally out of place in MCS' article. kiac (talk) 15:18, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, according to the article he only produced two songs from the album. I don't think that increases his notability outside of MCS enough to warrant his own article. Rwiggum (^Talk/_Contrib) 15:55, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also, saying that a band will be "big next year" goes against WP:CRYSTAL. Neither of these musicians have done enough notable things outside of being in MCS to warrant an article.
Delete, article fails to establish notability as per WP:MUSIC. Esradekan Gibb ^"Talk" 08:52, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: He produced two songs? That's a long way from performing on the album. RGTraynor 09:18, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I really couldn't be bothered arguing this, but i just don't get why you people go and delete articles like this, being a member of a band that is currently highly successful is a lot more notable than other things that are on wikipedia, things that are stubs and the like. God, you could create perfectly notable article on a piece of hair if you wanted to, all it takes is a bit of research. What is really the point in deleting it when there is hundreds of thousands of worse articles and stubs? Do what you like, but i think putting a bit of effort into an article is a lot more satisfying than going around deleting others' work altogether. I just don't get how so many people show up to affirm deletions but add nothing to the articles. All i'm saying is, you guys could at least aide in the contribution to merge the info into Motion City Soundtrack instead of wasting your time with a delete (and i'd just like to reassert i did not contribute anything significant to these articles, so it's not a bias account). Btw, Sing It Loud are definitely notably deserving of a Wikipedia page, they recently signed to Epitaph Records and released an EP through Epitaph, i remember reading something about Epitaph leading further towards the poppy side of rock and away from the classic Bad Religion-esque style. Yes this point is WP:Crystal, but what happens if Metro Station release one of Cain's singles and it becomes a top 10 hit? Definitely be a better article than any of the producer articles i've ever seen (all comprise of Jim is a producer. Jim has produced these 10 albums. The end). [Totally relinqushed my first sentence's meaning :P] At least help me merge it people. kiac (talk) 09:38, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's a straw man argument. Just because there are less notable articles on Wikipedia doesn't make these articles any more notable. At the end of the day, they still fail WP:MUSIC. Rwiggum (^Talk/_Contrib) 16:04, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah that wasn't supposed to be part of the argument not to delete it, i was just syaing i don't get why you'd bother messing with an article like this. Go find something better to do? kiac (talk) 06:03, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Matthew Taylor (bassist) got tagged for this group nom as well, but is not mentioned anywhere in the AfD. I have removed the AfD tag since this listing is already so close to closure as it is. -- Ned Scott 02:29, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge Since this is already a bit of a mess (as I note above about the incomplete nom), and the band itself seems notable, merging sounds like the best option. -- Ned Scott 02:37, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have basically done a full makeover of Joshua Cain. Please re-read. Just on a side-note, is it possible to do an article on all of the members of a band? I never see this on wikipedia and i don't really get why, surely if one member can't gain notability - four or five would be able to, i mean every band has some sort of other notable past-time. When you people say merge, where to do you mean? kiac (talk) 15:05, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, his credits outside of MCS still just aren't extensive enough. Plus, an "article on all of the members of a band" already exists, here. Rwiggum (^Talk/_Contrib) 01:26, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I relisted this discussion because Matthew Taylor (bassist) was originally meant to be a part of the nomination, but wasn't added until towards the end. I felt this was the best option rather than doing a no consensus. Jauerback^dude?/_dude. 18:06, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
