Talk:Schnell Fenster

Discussion about notability (resolved)
Why is this article under discussion? Split Enz, of which Schnell Fenster founding member Phil Judd was a founder member and the original primary songwriter, is probably the most important band in 1970s/1980s New Zealand (and potentially Australisian) music history. Schnell Fenster was an important band in the history of the Split Enz family history, and hence is easily important enough to justify a page on the Wikipedia. I wish that the editor who queried whether Schnell Fenster is of sufficient importance to justify a page had given his/her reasons on this discussion page.

I've removed the notability tag as I believe it is unjustified.


 * I was the one that added the notability tag. I put it up because at the time I put it up, the article didn't mention anything except the lineup and that they released two albums.  This alone is not enough to make it a notable band.  See WP:Music  --Varco 15:41, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I realize now that it also stated that they were formerly members of Split Enz, which is enough to make it notable. If I had clicked on the links, I also would have found out that it was notable.  Please accept my deepest apologies for my stupidity and excessive boldness in putting the notability tag there. --Varco 15:43, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Noel's Cowards (resolved)

 * different discussion (the first writer has probably forgotten to sign his contribution!)

The Ricky and Pete soundtrack says that Noel's Cowards are:- Wendy Matthews, vocals; Michael den Elzen, guitar; Noel Crombie, drums; Nigel Griggs, bass: Philip Judd, guitar; Michael Harris, fiddle; Louis McManus, mandolin, Vika Bull and Lisa Edwards, backing vocals. So perhaps the entry should say Schnell Fenster were part of Noel's Cowards.

There is a Schnell Fenster song on the soundtrack: Run A Mile.

They also appear in the film. There's a bit about the making of Ricky and Pete in Chris Bourke's book on Crowded House "Something So Strong". --Kylenano 12:44, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

I've changed the article to reflect this. --Craig

Fast Window?
"Fast window" would mean "schnelles Fenster" in German, "Schnell Fenster" without the declension of "schnell" to "schnelles" are really just two German words without connection. It's "das Fenster" (n), hence the ending "es" for its attribute, unlike "der Tisch" (the table/ m) with the ending "er" for its attribute or "die Tür" (the door/ f) with the ending "e" for its attribute - "schnelles Fenster, schneller Tisch, schnelle Tür". Deutsche Sprache, schwere Sprache - danke schön, bitte schön, auf Wiedersehen, I wish I could sprechen Sie Deutsch! Sam Golden (talk) 18:31, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
