[edit] Greif again?
Yet another heavy metal band article where Eric Grief is listed as a former manager with no verification to back the claim up. Also he is the only manager listed for them. Why aren't any other managers listed for the band? Better yet, why is any manager at all being listed in the article? I mean, who cares who the manager of a band is?(except maybe the former manager himself who is trying to make a name for himself) Isn't it about the musicians and the music? I suggest we remove any reference to a manager at all. I have been looking at many other articles about bands across a wide spectrum of music and none of them mention managers. I mean, If a manager is noteworthy enough then he should have his own page. Right? If not, then leave managers off of the band pages I say. Discuss --Jackmantas (talk) 09:42, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
- It is very hard to take the above single-purpose account Jackmantas seriously when their every edit reveals trolling and what appears to be violations of WP:Etiquette and WP:POINT. A Sniper (talk) 09:49, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
I disagree with you jackmantas. The bulk of the London page is band-based but it is still noteworthy to mention the manager when it is commonly known. The crue connection itself makes grief's late involvement a novelty. peace 212.183.134.65 (talk) 10:04, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Well, unfortunately, the "crue connection" consists solely of Mr. Grief making unverified claims that he was a one time assistant manager for Motley Crue. If he or anyone else would back up these claims with some solid verification there may be something there, but his Eric Grief page has been up for over a year and we have yet to see any. As far as this "commonly known" claim goes. What does that mean exactly? I would think that if something is "commonly known" it would have been covered by the mainstream press at some point or another and solid verification would be available. When I google Mr. Grief's name, I see nothing of the kind. I stand by my statement that Mr. Grief should be left off of this page as he is not noteworthy and his connection to this band and/or Motley Crue has not been verified.
