Talk:Poison (band)

Latest comment: 1 year ago by Robertsky in topic Requested move 1 October 2022

Too much about individual band members edit

I thought this trimming job by Elan Morin Tedronai was very appropriate. Elan Morin Tedronai removed a bunch of stuff about individual band members doing non-Poison things. For instance, the stuff about Bret Michaels acting with Charlie Sheen has nothing to do with the band. Same with Michaels on a sex tape.

Let's keep this article focused on the band, and send the off-topic bits to other articles. Binksternet (talk) 17:57, 12 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

This is a contested technical request (permalink). GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 00:58, 1 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
There is nothing "technical" about this request, especially due to WP:COMMONNAME, and titling an article with WP:PDAB like Thriller (album) has a really high bar of controversy. This request has to have a discussion. Steel1943 (talk) 14:12, 30 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
so i guess Nirvana (band) just gets different rules? --FMSky (talk) 06:01, 2 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • The German band has been nominated at AfD. If the AfD consensus is to delete the article, then the American band could be moved to Poison (band). Otherwise (if the AfD consensus is to keep the article), then the American band should remain at its current title. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 14:05, 2 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
Relisting comment: Holding decision until the AfD on the German band is resolved. – robertsky (talk) 16:44, 7 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
If that is closed a delete we can probably move as uncontroversial like with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Iron Maiden (blues rock band). Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:51, 7 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
