Talk:Greetings from Mercury

Untitled
This article was proposed for deletion but i don't agree with this decision. On the one hand, per WP:Music, I think this article may fall into three criteria:
 * has been featured in jazz in belgium website and many belgian newspapers (but how can i prove this?).
 * contains member of Aka Moon which has an entry in AMG.
 * is one of the most prominent representative of jazz fusion in belgium.

On the other hand i do not agree with the criteria as it seems to consider only mainmainstream bands in "large" countries. This band had a CD in the De Werf release called "The Finest Of Belgian Jazz". I think this proves that it is notable enough to appear in wikipedia. Julien Tuerlinckx 12:11, 23 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Since you provide good arguments I see no further reason why it should be deleted. The criteria don`t only consider mainstream although they may be less favorable for non-maistream genres. As noted in the criteria, only some of the smallest countries in the world (like Monaco) fall under "small country". I indeed never heard of them before and couldn't conclude from the article that they were notable. I'm certainly not against jazz or music from Belgium, but I think some content just doesn't belong on Wikipedia.--Steven Fruitsmaak | Talk 05:30, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
