Talk:Lords of Acid

Untitled

Possibly NPOV? The writing style might require some attention IMO --Ashmodai 18:05, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

i am in complete agreement, this text needs to be fixed. unfortunately, i came here to read about the band, so i don't know enought to fix this up. I'm adding a clean up tag Themindset 20:01, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

The text comes straight from the band's website. I will delete it as npov and copyvio. saturnight 23:12, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)

The intro says something about Sit on Acid being their most popular song. I don't know about popular, but I believe "Take Control" may be their best known song (at least in the US). It's been used a lot. I have heard it used at sporting events and such, perhaps because it's vaugly similar to "Get Ready" which is a very popular stadium anthem.

Pretty sure "show me your pussy" is their most popular song. 71.198.211.133 (talk) 06:59, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

"Most popular song" seems redundant anyway, popular with whom? judged by what standards? as we see on this page two people already disagree what their most popular track is, but hey Im just an interweb random.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.153.80.178 (talk) 13:23, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

The history section (along with most of the article) reads like a press release by the band themselves. It should probably be cleaned up by someone knowledgeable (not me, I came here to learn about the band) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.7.185.224 (talk) 03:14, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Close paraphrase/ possible copyvio

Portions of this article appear to have been copied from Myspace. It does not appear to be a valid G12 since there are versions that do not contain the copied content. VQuakr (talk) 20:18, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

The MySpace page you linked is not the official band MySpace page. More than likely, whoever created that other page copied the text from a version of this article there. —Torchiest ^talk_edits 20:35, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Controversal?

The article uses this word twice - 'controversial new beat single "I Sit on Acid"' and 'the controversial video game Mortal Kombat'. What's so controversal? Can we just remove this title? 217.79.15.127 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 11:38, 29 March 2011 (UTC).

Notability of individual albums?

Almost, if not every, album had its own article. They sat as stubs with tags for questionable notability, cleanup, etc. I have redirected the ones with no claim to notability (such as being charted or used in a movie) to the band's main article. --Ifnord (talk) 00:52, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Are you also going to tag their talk pages for deletion and the images used on those articles? — Bility (talk) 01:14, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Is this "delete music I don't know" day for both of you? Just because their music isn't on your top 10 list, doesn't mean that it isn't notable or popular in certain circles of people. So you just decided to start swinging and axe! If other people aren't going to stand up for LoA, then put me on the list of objecting to your actions! All the albumns need to be restored! • Sbmeirow • Talk •

Lords of Acid hasn't put out any new stuff in 10 years or so, which directly reflects on fewer and fewer edits over time. I noticed someone creating a new article today for their 2012 album, then I noticed "Ifnord" swinging an axe afterward, thus my response. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 02:13, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

I was simply new page patrolling when I found the first non-notable. I went looking for references to find evidence of notability (see WP:NALBUMS) and could not. It has nothing to do with my likes or dislikes in music. If you prefer, I will nominate them for Articles for Deletion. You could improve them, by adding references to reliable sources showing their notability not just their existence - that way another editor will not come along and do something similar. --Ifnord (talk) 02:43, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, you can quote WP pseudo-rules all day long, but that doesn't support your actions of deleting an article without giving anyone enough time to improve it, like less than 7 hours to be exact. 10:55 last initial edit, 11:41 you add banners, 18:34 you axed article. I noticed the wikilink added to the main article today, but hadn't got around to checking out the new article nor had a chance to check out their official web site today either, then I noticed you axed it before I even had a chance to read it, what the heck? I don't understand how you can axe a new album for a group that obviously isn't some flash-in-the-pan newbie. I'll put these on my list, but not at the top, and I will get back to them. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 04:14, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

←They have a new album coming out this year, which is (I'm guessing) how the new article was found, leading to these. These older album articles have existed for years with no questionability, and although they may need to be beefed up with sources and such, these releases are notable. - eo (talk) 13:03, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

I noticed on the new record compny website...over 2.5 Million total albums have been sold. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 14:58, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
