Band members

In the template above, we have three featured works. Those who speak about the heavy metal band Megadeth. The first tells the story of this band; the second talks about the development of their albums, both commercial and popular; and the last is a summary about its members, and the work done during their membership. I Believe I Can Fly that its meets the featured topic criteria. Cannibaloki 03:43, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support Looks great and covers everything. I understand the list of members precluding inclusion of the individual member articles, but if all the 4 current members are brought to GA in the future, i think they would be better added in to this topic, rather than sub-topiced (just noting for the future).YobMod 09:01, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - no awards and nominations article, no tours article, surely both merit existence for such a successful band? When compared with the NIN topic, or even the failed Metallica nom, I find this lacking - rst20xx (talk) 15:13, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    ...Although having said that, FLC is undergoing a bit of an upheaval at the moment and this may mean an awards and noms list doesn't merit existence. But at any rate, I think my oppose is valid until things have settled down over there, at which point I'll reassess - rst20xx (talk) 15:41, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Regardless, I don't see their awards in any of the three articles. Gary King (talk) 15:55, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Do they have any awards? they aren't very good :-D. Actually, i assumed that a passed FA meant that it was comprehensive. If it doesn't mention awards, why is it a FA? I mostly find artist nomination lists to be a bit useless - don't they only exist as easy ways to get FLs (and hence FTs?). If they are not anywhere in the topic, it would not be comprehensive, but now i see lots of mentions of grammys and other awards throughout the text. Is a separate list required for FT, if the awards are already in the chronological history of the main article?YobMod 18:32, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
A table for the awards and nominations can be created and added into the main artist's article. Gary King (talk) 18:52, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What, they've only ever been nominated for 2 awards? Really? rst20xx (talk) 21:46, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
There might be a few minor ones but I'm not surprised that for a band like this one, those are the only ones. Gary King (talk) 22:50, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Gary King, please explain your comment. Cannibaloki 22:58, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Why, do I have to? In any case, I searched for more awards for the band but couldn't come up with anything. Also, I made my comment primarily because this isn't a mainstream band and so won't receive as much recognition as, say, Britney Spears. Gary King (talk) 00:39, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, strange... Cannibaloki 02:20, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The new FL criteria are in place. If the list of awards now in Megadeth is comprehensive, then Cannibaloki was right to put it there - a separate list would not pass the muster. However, this may not be the case with a list of tours - rst20xx (talk) 23:19, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
