I changed something on the Dokken page dealing with Glam Metal bands. Without mentioning that it was an opinion of Don Dokken, it made it appear that Glam Metal focused only on looks instead of their music, when it is a consensus that these bands had extremely talented musicians and musicianship came first. Looks played a role, like everything in the MTV generation, but I can't remember a LA metal band that made it solely on looks with nothing in the musician department. When I say "made it", I am talking about gold and platinum sales, which were aplenty with this genre in the 80's.

Of course there were bands they tried to look the part without the talent or melodies, but name them? It's not easy.


 * Hi. Actually, the reason it was deleted was for lack of content.  It was nothing more than a single, introductory sentence and an external link.  PMDrive1061 (talk) 00:05, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

Articles: some advice on why your effort was deleted
Articles must have substantial content. "Fred is a guy who runs a company you've heard of; here's a link to a database listing him" is not going to suffice. Take a look at the articles about people like Al Dunlap or Steve Jobs to see what I mean. We don't ask that an article be fifty paragraphs long to begin with; but it must have some meaningful content, with some solid references properly formatted. Take a look at this stub I created today, for example: Frank Bauer. It's still a stub; but it's a good start to build on. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  01:00, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
