Brit-pop

Jitters should not be put in the "Britpop groups" category nor have it in their Infobox as a genre. The band are from Belarus, not from the UK during the years 1993-1997. Dean12065 (talk) 13:12, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

According to the deletion discussion taken place on Hair Peace Salon, Tuzin.fm "seems to be one of the major evaluators of the hits in Belarus music" while Muzykalnaya Gazeta is considered as "such authoritative source in the field of Belarusian music", both of which would make the question about the recent edits by Dean12065 a question of his/her distinction of music genres and, as a result, of the value of this music portal and the music newspaper. Please take into account the sources ##7, 18, 21, 32 as of now before removing sourced content here down the line. This Is Where I Came In (talk) 18:24, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Importance only to a small population of enthusiastic fans of the subject?!

VQuakr posted a WP:FAN mark over the article a month and a half ago or so. Since then the article has been bolstered up to the level of the (original) Belarusian Wikipedia one, which is considered as a WP:GA one over there, while a honorable ★ was assessed mostly by natives who can evaluate sources both in the Russian and Belarusian languages, and such. I've contacted him in order to remove a WP:FAN mark but VQuakr is still adamant referring to double standard policies across Wikipedia. ¯\_(°ヮ°)_/¯

According to the description of WP:FAN, it describes “a selection of content is of importance only to a small population of enthusiastic fans of the subject in question.” I believe this assumption came from the lack of showed ability to work with actual sources in the Russian and Belarusian languages and evaluate them (I assume this seeing at his global account information). The number of active contributors to the Belarusian Wikipedia is small, the amount of them who can freely discuss in English to go along here is even smaller – that is true. Why does it have to be so unfair? -- pr12402, May 3, 2019.

Meanwhile, the Taraškievica version of the article has been promoted to the scope of WP:GA over there (https://be-tarask.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jitters). As anyone can witness via Google Translate or so, the English version of the article basically is a direct translation of both Belarusian ones, being ★ assessed. Whether are still any flaws yet? -- pr12402, May 9, 2019.

There are. For example, the band is from Belarus, which has two official languages, but there is only russian version of name. Though it is from Minsk where russian is prevalent omitting the other is still flaw. Also, the names make a mixture of belarus and russian forms. - Melilac (talk) 18:14, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Britpop

Jitters can't be Britpop because they're Belarusian. Britpop refers to a specific music movement in the UK during the mid to late 1990s, and Jitters is neither of this. Pinging @CouchJarvis to help me with this. 24.127.236.115 (talk) 11:41, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Short answer: the identical issue was already discussed here feat. Robvanvee (Talk:Hair_Peace_Salon#Post-Britpop). See also: Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_a_publisher_of_original_thought.

Long answer: having read the article, we may witness that the band’s releases as well as concert sets have been described as Britpop (references ## 8, 9, 18, 21, 31, 68, 69), e.g. there are takeaways made based on several notable and reliable publications of BelGazeta, Tuzin.fm, Muzykalnaya Gazeta, Volha Samusik, so you would have challenged these media/journalists first. -- pr12402, 8 January, 2020

I hardly see how this should even turn into a debate: every single definition you will find of "Britpop" will point out a genre not only based on musical elements but also geographic and cultural ones. Long story short, Britpop means "British pop". Jitters are not British, so why should they be included in any Britpop-related list? CouchJarvis (talk) 03:17, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
