My Revenge (band)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Local band of questionable notability. Provided references are all primary sources or fanzines. Due to common name, Google search results are problematic - however, adding the modifier "My Revenge" "Spencer Crispe" (Crispe is the lead singer, and is also editing the article) Google news shows only one result from a local paper - a standard search shows a lot of primary sources, social media, sales links, directory listings, and unreliable sources, but no significant coverage found from independent reliable sources.

I worked for Big Heavy World www.bigheavyworld.com in Burlington, Vermont. Big Heavy World is the Vermont Music Library and Shop. It is the largest archival collection of Vermont-based music in the state. I am a Vermont underground music historian, and also quite knowledgeable about this band, Vermont venues, Vermont music history, particularly focusing on the past 30 years. I am working to chronicle notable Vermont encyclopedia-worthy artists in Wikipedia as a volunteer. Not a local band - Band is a national and international touring act for a full decade. Moreover, band is a professionally published band on a widely distributed record label www.thorprecords.com. Furthermore, numerous bands on this record label have Wikipedia entires - See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madball; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_for_Blood; and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheer_Terror These are just a few of the bands on the same record label, also with Wikipedia articles. Additionally, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Static_Age This is a notable band also from Vermont, similar stature, no maintenance tags. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terror_(band) - This article has citations which are not questioned nor maintenance templates, and it is consistent with numerous other Entries. My Revenge is also notable as being the first punk and underground band from Vermont to tour internationally. If you look at history of page - Spencer Crispe was involved for ease of copyright in obtaining image uploads. Sources are characterized as reliable and found within innumerable other Wikipedia entires - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terror_(band) Did google searching before creating article and found band toured in Nova Scotia, Mexico, United Kingdom, and Japan. Meets and exceeds Wikipedia notability standards. Vermont Hardcore Punk (talk) 23:32, 26 January 2012 (UTC) This template must be substituted.[reply]

Delete per lack of notability. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 00:48, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The issue is the lack of substantial source material which is both independent and reliable. --Jayron32 05:01, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Band has allmusic.com guide entry. http://www.allmusic.com/artist/my-revenge-p657423. To characterize band as a "local band" shows wilful ignorance of content of article and facts. Multiple albums. Characterizing them as local band likely shows bias. Question as to abusive editing by Mike Wazowski in violation of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Vandalism and also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Harassment and especially - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Harassment. User MikeWazowski also violated wikipedia standard by a retaliatory nomination fo deletion. User may know subject article creator and have personal bias also in violation of wikipedia standards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vermont Hardcore Punk (talk • contribs) 19:39, 27 January 2012 (UTC) Vermont Hardcore Punk (talk) 19:43, 27 January 2012 (UTC) This template must be substituted.[reply]

Vermont Hardcore Punk's allegations are spurious. I left warning messages on his talk page after he twice removed the AfD notice from the article {[1], [2]) and has continually removed maintenance templates from the article without correcting the problems (in addition to the two instances already linked, see also [3], [4], [5]). I have a long history of editing on Wikipedia, and this is just another case of a questionable article I flagged for deletion, nothing more. MikeWazowski (talk) 20:21, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Response to MikeWazowki above: - I have made even further improvements to this article to your disregard. Your editing and nomination for deletion is in violation Wikipedia guidelines for conflict of interest and bias. The proper thing to do was to add comments about my improvements to the article on the talk page, which you did not before disruptively placing back the maintenance tags. Your arguments are patently vacuous and already I've warned you about the various Wikipedia guidelines you have violated. I unfortunately have to report your vandalism to this article, coupled with your conflict of interest. The fact that you play the card of having edited for sometime for Wikipedia means nothing in this context because the length of years of your editing is only as meritorious as its quality. Please review: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest. "If other editors suggest that your editing violates Wikipedia's standards, take that advice seriously and consider stepping back, reassessing your edits" You have a conflict of interest, and bias with regards to your relationship to this article and therefore, in accordance with Wikipedia guidelines should cease the vandalism and disruptive edits and "step back." Thank you. Vermont Hardcore Punk (talk) 00:48, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
