Talk:List of bands from Merseyside

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have tidied this up a bit - loads of "famous" bands still missing...

[edit] Clear out

What constitutes "famous"? There seems to be numerous bands on this list who are, at best, only locally known in Liverpool. And some, I suspect, are relative unknowns who've been added for a bit of publicity. I think it's about time to clean this list up and remove many of the more dubious entries. It does make the article look somewhat silly when many of Liverpool's "famous" bands have never been heard of -- this isn't a list of all Liverpool bands, after all. Unless anyone has any better ideas, at some point in the near future I intend (with a lot of help from Google) to start removing obvious candidates, such as those who haven't even merited their own article on a site like Wikipedia.

Whoops -- just noted that the article has been retitled to drop the term "famous", although the main Liverpool article still links to this one as a list of "famous" bands. Even so, I still consider the list needs a bit of pruning and editing, if nothing else to indicate which bands are merely locally well known, and which have achieved national or international recognition.

ok then Javakid - seeing how you're the self-styled expert on what "famous" means. What's your criteria? Just gigged around the city, had a deal / album, sold more than blah blag copies, Javakid knows more than 2 people who've heard of you.... come on mate - give us a clue? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Davidhughesdoran (talk • contribs) 21:14, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
