[edit] The Durutti Column

Does this group meet the minimum requirements for listing? Nv8200p (talk) 21:11, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Perhaps a good starting point would be for you to indicate what you think those minimum requirements are, and which of the "Problems that may require deletion" on Wikipedia:Deletion_policy you think apply in this case. The Durutti Column were, as the article says, an early act on a notable record label, associates of Joy Division and New Order, and have released recordings regularly over the last quarter-century, many of them on major record labels. Vini Reilly appeared in the film 24 Hour Party People, and was also portrayed in the film by an actor. The article could do with filling out, but not deleting. So that's a keep from me. --  ajn (talk) 22:03, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Well-known music project, have many releases on significant record label (Factory). And just to be POV for a moment - fantastic music. What "minimum requirements" are you questioning? If it's WP:MUSIC, then Durutti Column most certainly meet these requirements. Cnwb 23:33, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy keep - significant and widely regarded recording artist. Extraordinary nomination. Terwilliger 23:55, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as per WP:music. According to the Allmusic.com article on this band [1] Vini Reilly worked with Morrissey on his 1988 album Viva Hate. Chris Joyce and Tony Bowers of the band later went on to play with Simply Red. Capitalistroadster 00:28, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
• Does this group meet the minimum requirements - most definitely. Keep. Grutness...wha? 01:01, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Anything associated with early Factory Records meets "minimum requirements". Edwardian 02:44, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as per everyone else. The Land 10:32, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep, very well-known and historically significant band. Assuming good faith, I can only assume nomination was in error. MCB 23:05, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

I obviously made a big mistake. Can we delist this one and call it a day? --Nv8200p (talk) 02:17, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
