WikiProject: Alternative music

Print the article

This entry was posted on 09-12-2007 and is filed under uncategorized.

"The goals of this WikiProject are:
  • To improve Wikipedia's coverage of alternative music, by creating and improving articles related to the subject. "

Or failing that, to delete articles. I had a look at this page when I noticed Giggy (Dihydrogen Monoxide) added this project's user box to their page. Giggy nominated the Misery (band) article for deletion, and the article has gone away. They didn't improve it or create it, they got it deleted. Perhaps being "alternative" is to not meet Wikipedia's standards for notability. Maybe I'm seeing a problem here, but maybe over time it will work out, and Wikipedia will change its notability standards for alternative bands like Misery, but in the mean time, the world is safe from reading about Misery on Wikipedia, and we can sleep well at night, and the world can now have more time to read about their favorite professional wrestler or porn star. (Warning - clicking on the porn star link brings you to a Wikipedia article listing female porn stars. Please do not click on it if you are under 18.)
