Best Revenge

Non-notable band per WP:MUSIC. Videmus Omnia Talk  20:18, 25 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep Seems to be a fairly popular band in the "queercore" or "homocore" genres. See   etc. This is one band in a fairly underground genre, but I'm convinced it meets WP:N. - super &beta;&epsilon;&epsilon; cat  20:31, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment In your first reference, the interviewee says that homocore is "asleep" (not active any more?). Not exactly what I want from a reference. Notablility takes more than getting a mention on a web site somewhere. MarkBul 23:14, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Notability isn't temporary. The genre of homocore may be "asleep", that doesn't say anything about the notability of the band. -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs)  00:27, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Moreover, you picked one line from a person in one band which the article is not predominately about, and totally out of context. So I think kids will come up waving the homocore flag again. It's not dead, it's just asleep.. The spirit of the article is very clearly that the genre is doing well, and the point of including it as a reference was that given the genre, it's an important band, which is why it is pointed out in the article about the genre. - super &beta;&epsilon;&epsilon; cat 00:38, 26 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep - has significant fan base within queercore scene, (WP:N) and is representative of that scene. Also has coverage in secondary sources. -- Beloved Freak  22:36, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - not only was Best Revenge instrumental in the queercore scene, the band was responsible for the release of the recordings (through their indie label, Spitshine Records) of several other notable queercore artists including Skinjobs, iamloved, and Brian Grillo (of Extra Fancy) to name a few. Also featured in Homocore book.  Mackaye 00:44, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, John254 00:38, 30 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep once the references cited above are added to the article. Side note: Should it trouble us that the record label links to us as the band's bio? Chubbles 08:52, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
