List of Pearl Jam band members[edit]

I believe the article meets the criteria of a featured list. If there are any issues I will work to correct them.-5- (talk) 07:35, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose, per everything in this nomination. NSR77 TC 20:55, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • While I respect your opinion, I would say this article offers far more content than the List of Red Hot Chili Peppers band members article.-5- (talk) 01:00, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • I don't think the amount of content is relevant. The basis of my argument is the concept of a band member's list, which is almost trivial. The graph on the bottom should accurately represent those who have come and gone in the band, and placed on the bottom of the main article. You're basically just relaying fragments of history, when all of this is covered in the main article. A list such as this one seems unnecessary. NSR77 TC 02:05, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thats a personnal reason which has nothing to do with a FL nomination. --Be Black Hole Sun (talk) 10:15, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Comments

  • Current ref 7 (Erlewine... ) lacks a last access date.
  • Other websites lack last access dates (the newspaper articles)
  • What makes http://www.theywillrockyou.com/index.php/interviews/mike_mccready_of_pearl_jam/ a reliable source?
    • Well, the information comes straight from Mike McCready. Whether McCready did the interview with theywillrockyou.com or Rolling Stone or Spin, it shouldn't matter, because the information is coming straight from McCready himself. The information isn't coming from some random writer who is making stuff up.-5- (talk) 14:17, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
However, the reason we know that an interview with Rolling Stone or Spin isn't made up is because the magazine itself stands behind the interview, i.e. the magazine has a reputation for being reliable. What makes this site have such a reputation? Ealdgyth - Talk 14:50, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There's many other interviews with notable music artists on the website, all of which can be found here. I'm certain that they are real interviews otherwise the site would face legal troubles.-5- (talk) 15:00, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Otherwise sources look okay, links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 13:52, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose

  • Why cherry-pick three individuals in the lead with " Since its inception, the band's line-up has included ..." ?
  • "drummer Dave Krusen. With Krusen as its drummer" repetitive.
  • "checked himself into rehab" too chatty, not encyclopedic enough.
  • "Abbruzzese " mentioned six times in five sentences.
  • "a close friend of Vedder " needs citation.
  • "In 2002, the band brought in organist Boom Gaspar as an additional member. Gaspar has appeared on the studio ..." appears out of chronological order...
    • I don't think so. Gaspar became involved with the band after Matt Cameron joined, and that is what is stated in the paragraph.-5- (talk) 00:51, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • "on the Temple of the Dog project " what's that?
    • Addressed.
  • Not at all keen on the galleries.
