[edit] Mínus

Mínus (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Is this band really notable? There are various claims in the text, but the references are all YouTube links! Suggest that this article is either significantly improved, or else deleted. And yes, it is yet another vague band article... Robinson weijman 13:50, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh, and if this is deleted then so should Hey Johnny!, Jesus Christ Bobby and Halldór Laxness (album). Robinson weijman 13:53, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep has a detailed AMG page [1], at least 2 albums on a real label, reviewed in several notable publications. Article needs improvement, but that's not a reason to delete. --W.marsh 14:46, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep seems notable enough, passes WP:MUSIC. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:58, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. Not sure. If the article is deleted, the three albums in the "see also" section must also be subtracted (ha ha). YechielMan 18:36, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - I do not understand the comment above, "Seems notable enough". Try Googling Mínus Iceland... almost nothing comes up. Robinson weijman 20:27, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
    • Then it's a good thing we don't include topics based on how many google hits they get! --W.marsh 21:06, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
    • Agreed, but that is not an argument for notability. I noticed you have added an external reference to assert notability. Great - do you want to add that to the original article? And is that sufficient to assert notability (I'm not competent enough to judge this)? And may I politely request that people who state here that the band is notable back it up with a link (as W.marsh has done) rather than just state they are notable?

  • Keep The band is notable, but I suggest cleaning the article up; especially the links. Acalamari 23:23, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Just because a band isn't hugely popular in the US doesn't mean it isn't notable. Ask any Icelander who is even a little in touch with the music scene and they'll have heard of Mínus. Maybe we aren't as large of a country as the US, but we have as much of a right to Wikipedia as Americans do, and plenty of us speak English. I agree that the article is in definite need of cleaning, but I always thought one of the beautiful parts of Wikipedia was that you could find obscure things on it that you can't find in normal encyclopedias. 207.75.39.11 02:49, 30 March 2007 (UTC)Sigurjón Leónarðsson 22:44, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
