Talk:The Gin Club

Comments from comments subpage

Article was assessed at Stub Class. For comparison consider the following criteria:

Start class:

• Y A reasonably complete infobox

  - missing formation year

• N A lead section giving an overview of the artist/band

  - Current Lead barely introduces artist/band. More details needed

• N Reference to band's primary members and instrumentation
• N Categorisation at least by main genre and origin

  - missing origin, e.g. Queensland musical groups; missing genre, e.g. Australian folk musicians

C-class:

• N All the start class criteria
• N A reasonably complete infobox, including record labels and years active

  - years active? Other associated acts/record labels?

• N At least one section of prose (in addition to the lead section)

  - History of band members prior to formation, since formation including clear link to associated acts

• N A discography of studio albums and singles

  - Are all the items in the discography studio albums? Do they have any singles?

• Y Reliable independent in-line references supporting claims
• Y A casual reader should learn something about the artist

B-class:

• N All the C-class criteria
• N A completed infobox, including photo (were available) and most technical details
• N A full list of band membership, including instrumentation and time span with the band
• N A full discography including charting history (or a link to such an article)
• N No obvious issues with sourcing, including the use of blatantly improper sources

  – references need wikifying e.g. use ((cite news)), all sources used need to be reliable

• N No significant issues exist to hamper readability, although it may not rigorously follow WP:MOS

  – article appears to be largely the artist's discography with little else. For the casual reader, describe: How does a 'musical collective' differ from a band/group? What is 'an open mic night'? (wikilinks may help)

• N No obvious omissions, but also no obvious extraneous information – such as "trivia"

  – Lead section needs beefing up. A History section (or similar) needed: no information on background of band prior to current existence, little detail of associated act(s) other than infobox.

Evaluation based on WikiProject Biography Assessment Quality scale. Please update this list when the article meets any of the above criteria, changing the article's class assessment as appropriate. Last reviewed by – Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 22:28, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
