Talk:Mansun

POV
"Often derided as clingers-on to the tail end of Britpop, Mansun are considered by a loyal fanbase to be one of the finest rock bands of the 1990s."

Any 'loyal fanbase' is going to regard the object of its affection to be great. This paragraph is POV, so I am going to remove it. Beerathon 00:14, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

"The band produced a large back catalogue of recordings that are still held in high regard by their loyal fanbase." I'm going to edit this sentence for the above reason. --Strangepalefighter 02:22, 11 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes, but the article is now too anodyne - it does not give casual readers any idea why the band were so great. -- Beardo 19:15, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Paul Draper
for now paul draper directs to the mansun page. but he's goign to require is own page, shouldn't it be created soon? or at least stop 'paul draper' from directing to mansun so it can be made when required.Chadwholovedme 12:43, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

"Rock and Roll"?
On most of this band's album pages, they are described as being a "rock" band, but the word "rock" is wikilinked to "rock and roll". I don't think, by any stretch of the imagination, they have all that much in common with Bill Haley or Elvis Presley, so I've reset the wikilinks to "rock music" Dom Kaos (talk) 13:50, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

 * I am afraid that I don't really follow the detailed rules regarding referencing. I think that change created a conflict as there was already a reference called archive1. I have renamed both as different things to remove the conflict - I don't know if there is a rule on naming references. -- Beardo (talk) 23:26, 14 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks for fixing the cite error. Cyberbot just fixed the body of the references, not the ref name. Karst (talk) 07:06, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

Take It Easy Chicken
Take It Easy Chicken now redirects to this page. That leads to various unneeded links, and redirects back to this page. Before I tidy those up, I would like to suggest restoring the single's own page - I think there was enough there to warrant that, and I cannot see any discussion when the redirect was done. -- Beardo (talk) 05:32, 14 May 2016 (UTC)


 * It did chart (just) - the article was quite substantial. I will restore it. -- Beardo (talk) 04:09, 16 May 2016 (UTC)


 * It lacks substantial references to indicate notability. And the title is confusing. Is the article about the EP or the song? Check WP:SONG for notability guidelines.  was right to implement the redirect last year. Karst (talk) 07:15, 16 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Not every single that charts needs its own article. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 13:47, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

Britpop
Is Mansun considered Britpop? They seem too progressive and dark to be called Britpop. It would be helpful if a person who is knowledgeable with the era can help. Dean12065 (talk) 17:39, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, definitely part of Britpop. Polyamorph (talk) 20:03, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

Compilations?
Could someone please add information on the two compilations released in 2020 (Dead Flower Rejects and Closed For Business) which are listed in the discography article but not here? Thanks! 2A02:1810:390C:800:14D8:ED2F:C57F:58EC (talk) 20:13, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
