[edit] This is a truly terribel article
Not only does it read like a rather pathetic fan review page, but much of it is either not cited or impossible to cite... "split fans down the middle", for pity's sake. It effectively needs a comprehensive re-write. Does someone want to do this, or shall I delete the lot and start again? 82.6.97.81 (talk) 15:47, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
Notice: Shaun Taylor-Steels has left MDB; someone please update the wiki page...
[edit] All Proposed Mergers
There is not enough information to substantiate an article on any of the proposed mergers. There is mainly only a couple of lines or up to a paragraph at most. xXSouthern SlayerXx 03:05, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
I believe they should be merged and their article entries be redirected to My Dying Bride page.

I agree.
So do I, either a merge is in order, or those articles should be heavily extended. 11:25, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
Of course, there's no good reason this shouldn't be done.
I also agree, there are not enough information to be a seperate article. and the same goes to all the other band members of my dying bride.
I think most of the information on the individual member articles is either present in the current article, or not needed. I'll add any relevent info and redirect the member pages to MDB. Aboverepine 22:05, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
- How many votes are needed for a decision to be reached? xXSouthern SlayerXx 15:19, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
I disagree... these articles should be expanded instead. Also all these persons are notable meeting WP:MUSIC under "Has gone on an international concert tour ...", "released two or more albums..." etc etc. Moreover, the fact that it is merely a stub means that more effort should be put into writing the article all together. Another point is that it is annoying to see lists of former bands and other information not relevant to the band in that article (e.g. birth date), such information belongs in the persons bio page.

Let's reach a consensus: I disagree for Andrew and Adrian... These two with Aaron are very important people in the scene and are core members of one of the most important symbols of Doommetal (My Dying Bride). I agree for Hamish and Sarah, unless relevant info is added. --Richard George 22:13, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Gothic Metal?
This is not Paradise Lost,this is My Dying Bride.Never in their career they have played Gothic Metal.Neither in TAATDR,nor in LGOTS.
The accuracy of the given source must be examined. Sometimes ears are more accurate than the written sources.
- I definitely agree with this. I think we should include what is possibly the best doom metal reference, www.doom-metal.com. In the FAQ they clearly explain the difference between Gothic and Doom Metal. I think the real problem is that whenever the media hears a "dark" metal band, they automatically label it as "gothic/goth" metal. MDB has NOTHING to do with either. Its pure death/doom. Yes, they influenced ALOT of gothic metal bands, but they themselves are not. Fred138 02:12, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Sorry guys, but MDB do have little coincidencies with Gothic metal, by my ears. And im especially on fence about TAATDR and LGOTS. Well, mostly objective, genre on those albums is "atmospheric doom", but those had gothic pieces too.
What is that Gothic nonsense? We are a metal band. Aaron Stainthorpe [reference: www.doom-metal.com] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.10.234.92 (talk) 15:01, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:MyDyingBride Logo.png
Image:MyDyingBride Logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:14, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
"For this reason, Heroin Chic, with its frequent repetitions of lyrics of the "nah nah nah yeah yeah yeah" variety, as fans like this describe it, has been written off as a spit in the face of fans."
This is a weasel worded, very unencyclopedic sentence.
