Los Buzzardos

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Non-notable band. Their only "notability" derives from being one of two backup bands for Jack White when he's touring separately from White Stripes. A redirect was attempted, but rejected by the page's creator. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 11:25, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

This is 1 of 3 different but related articles created by this author which have been nominated by the same Wiki user for deletion; comments from that Wiki user have been disrespectful and have made attempts to belittle the subject artists (including Dominic Davis, described that he merely “stands in the back with a bass”), together with an air of discrimination. The Wiki community should not support such efforts. And now here comments make it clear that they do not even know that the band the White Stripes broke up some time ago (and therefore Jack White will not be "touring" with them any time soon), something that was covered in great detail in the worldwide media and which can be learned by just reading through one part of Jack White’s wiki page. Users that do not even know that vital bit of information are in a very poor position to opine on the notability of this band. With the White Stripes now broken up, Jack White’s solo production becomes that much more notable as does Los Buzzardos' role in such. In the musical arts notability is not limited only to headliners; just because it is a backing band does not negate it from its own notability. The Wiki community clearly agrees as there are many, many backing bands with their own Wiki pages from Scarlet Fever to The Spiders from Mars. And while many of the members of this band already have their own notoriety and their own Wiki pages, a backing band does also get notability from the headliner and Jack White is one of the biggest international rock and blues artists as well as one of the most highly regarded guitarists of our time and is a multiple Grammy winner. This band is notable and this page should not be deleted. Jjjssswiki (talk) 17:32, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment There is no "discrimination" here (and Jjjssswiki might want to consider assuming good faith). This is merely a case of an editor (me) seeing a poor article and nominating it for deletion, and then, seeing that the article's creator has behaved in a manner indicating a lack of understanding of Wikipedia's notability guidelines, reviewing that editors other contributions and finding some of them lacking notability also.  I do not know Dominic Davis, and I am not a particular follower of the genre of music that Davis plays, so I have no particular axe to grind in either direction about Davis or his projects.  I am only working within the guidelines established by Wikipedia, and finding that the articles involved do not meet those guidelines.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:03, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

 Cory Younts is on loan from Old Crow Medicine Show of which he's been a long-term member. OCMS certainly satisfies notability standards--and side projects of its members, particularly those involving other notable musicians such as Jack White, would seem to warrant an entry. Much enhancement would be necessary to make it a worthy article, of course. Artaxerxes (talk) 19:37, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

 Pretty hilarious that this band gets an entry but his female band doesn't. Either an entry needs to be created for The Peacocks, or there should be member lists for both bands on Jack White's main page and no pages for the individual bands. I would vote the latter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deceasedlavy (talk • contribs) 18:48, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
