editThere's quite a lot in the current version of the main article that is completely inaccurate, plus, someone keeps removing any reference to the band's very strong links with the Gothic subculture - most of the non-Pagan events they play at are Goth festivals, and all of the band members identify as members of the Goth/Alternative scene. They've played several major Goth events, including headlining the Whitby Gothic Weekend on five seperate occasions, and London's Gotham festival at least twice. They've also performed at almost all the major european Goth events.
I will attempt to find authoratative sources for the data before tidying up the article, but the main sequence of events is:
1988, Bellas Knapp. This was before Candia joined the band. 1989, Incubus Succubus. Recorded the Beltaine EP (from which the single of the same name came). First pressing of EP came back warped, several members left the band. Tony and Candia continued alone, under the name "Children Of The Moon". 1994, band re-formed as Incubus Succubus, with Adam Henderson on Bass. Released "Belladonna And Aconite" album. Recorded and released "Wytches", on CD and cassette tape. 1995, name change to "Inkubus Sukkubus", for numerological reasons (it comes out to a luckier number). Released "Beltaine" album, containing all the Children Of The Moon material. Recorded and released "Heartbeat Of The Earth".
This is all in the public record somewhere, through various interviews, published histories, and the band's official and unofficial websites. I am the author of the unofficial site, which while unofficial is approved by the band, and the history section at http://www.inkubus-sukkubus.co.uk/fs-backstage-history.html is entirely based on a first-hand interview with Tony McKormack, and has been checked by the band themselves for accuracy before it went live. Is it OK to cite my own website as a source for material? I know it's accurate, but I don't know what the Wikipedia guidelines (if there are any?) are on this kind of thing.
From then on it's mostly correct.
Ta for reading!
Notability
editIs there anything apart from The Sun mention in an article on swine flu which would support WP:NMUSIC for this band? In ictu oculi (talk) 14:12, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
- "Britain's Premier Pagan Rock Band" - according to your Rough Guide reference and the Australian band Spiral Dance, among others. Featured on the soundtrack of a British film notable enough to have an article. Yes, it's a niche market, and the standards are not very high - with the exception of this band. They are the ONLY British band in this genre with an international reputation. The Sun article at least establishes that they tour abroad. They have a fan club in Mexico, and gig in the States and most of Europe. More to the point, they are the only Pagan Rock Band that every British pagan rocker has heard of. Hope this helps.

- The band also appeared on UK national television in the 1990s (on an episode of "The Big Breakfast", the video clip is on YouTube and is or was on at least one of the band's fan sites as a downloadable file), this was formerly referenced in the article but someone has deleted huge chunks of the band's history including that section, and the page is currently locked so this can't be undone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.2.68.66 (talk) 23:16, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
@147.147.128.78: You have repeatedly added the claim that Tony McKormack's real name is Anthony Uren, without providing any source. Per Wikipedia's verifiability policy, you must provide a reliable source for this information. I have searched and have not found any source that makes this claim. Where did you get this information? If it is in a reliable source, then add a reference to the article supporting this claim. If you do not have a reliable source, then it cannot be included.
You have also been changing the grammar from UK English usage "the band have ..." to US usage "the band has". Per WP:ENGVAR, since this is an English band, the article should use UK English.
Please discuss your rationale for these changes here before reverting again. CodeTalker (talk) 22:03, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
