- It's not considered as vandalism. However, the article doesn't show any notability of the band. The only source provided is a MySpace page, which is not enough to make a band notable. --Esanchez(Talk 2 me or Sign here) 03:37, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
- Because anyone can make a myspace page for an artist or band. Therefore, they can claim themselves as a "popular band". However, in Wikipedia, it's required to have certain achievements for a band to have its own article here in Wikipedia. A MySpace page is not enough. --Esanchez(Talk 2 me or Sign here) 03:49, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
- I see... well, like I linked, several things that would make a band notable would be: signed to a major label, have a song that has charted on music charts, or third-party sources. --Esanchez(Talk 2 me or Sign here) 04:03, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
- Reliable sources, some exmaples mentioned on WP:SOURCES. --Esanchez(Talk 2 me or Sign here) 04:35, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
