Talk:The Gin Club

Comments from comments subpage
Article was assessed at Stub Class. For comparison consider the following criteria:

Start class:
 * A reasonably complete infobox
 * - missing formation year
 * A lead section giving an overview of the artist/band
 * - Current Lead barely introduces artist/band. More details needed
 * Reference to band's primary members and instrumentation
 * Categorisation at least by main genre and origin
 * - missing origin, e.g. Queensland musical groups; missing genre, e.g. Australian folk musicians

C-class:
 * All the start class criteria
 * A reasonably complete infobox, including record labels and years active
 * - years active? Other associated acts/record labels?
 * At least one section of prose (in addition to the lead section)
 * - History of band members prior to formation, since formation including clear link to associated acts
 * A discography of studio albums and singles
 * - Are all the items in the discography studio albums? Do they have any singles?
 * Reliable independent in-line references supporting claims
 * A casual reader should learn something about the artist

B-class:
 * All the C-class criteria
 * A completed infobox, including photo (were available) and most technical details
 * A full list of band membership, including instrumentation and time span with the band
 * A full discography including charting history (or a link to such an article)
 * No obvious issues with sourcing, including the use of blatantly improper sources
 * – references need wikifying e.g. use ((cite news)), all sources used need to be reliable
 * No significant issues exist to hamper readability, although it may not rigorously follow WP:MOS
 * – article appears to be largely the artist's discography with little else. For the casual reader, describe: How does a 'musical collective' differ from a band/group? What is 'an open mic night'? (wikilinks may help)
 * No obvious omissions, but also no obvious extraneous information – such as "trivia"
 * – Lead section needs beefing up. A History section (or similar) needed: no information on background of band prior to current existence, little detail of associated act(s) other than infobox.
