Megadeth

3 articles

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. Canniba loki 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).Yob Mod 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]

Done Canniba loki 20:53, 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. Canniba loki 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... Canniba loki 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]

Support although usually more articles get into such topics, these three are enough since the others don't exist. igordebraga ≠ 20:45, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
That doesn't mean they shouldn't exist! rst20xx (talk) 23:15, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment -- IDK, but is there enough information and content to warrant separate articles for tour dates, and the other subarticles that rst mentioned?--Best, ₮RU CӨ 01:36, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support I have to disagree with Rst20xx on this one. Z gin der 2009-04-03T20:34Z (UTC)
Oh, come on. There hasn't been any attempt at all to cover the tours anywhere in this topic. Even if the tours don't merit a separate list, they should at least be covered in a list-like fashion in the Megadeth article itself - rst20xx (talk) 21:31, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Since when is a band about the tours? Z gin der 2009-04-06T15:25Z (UTC)

Oppose per rst. Nergaal (talk) 19:31, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think that every band needs separate articles on tours, awards, and cultural impact, however if these articles are absent they should at least each have their own section in the main article. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 13:34, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Close with no consensus to promote - this topic has more votes of support than oppose, but does not appear to have consensus. Sorry this took so long, it should have been closed quite a while ago - rst20xx (talk) 20:53, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
