Paula P-Orridge
New Age woo woo vanity page. Calton | Talk 07:40, August 23, 2005 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep new user here, saw this and had to vote. Shes a member of Throbbing Gristle which is one of the most influential and controversial bands of all time that has had a huge influence on punk, industrial and electronic music. Not too mention she is a member of Psychic TV which is rather notable for the fact that Ian Curtis of Joy Division was to be in it, all the other members have their own pages as well. Also, I dont see what exactly is New Age-y about it except the fact that she released an ambient record but not all ambient records are necessarily new age-y, hers in particular is rather dark. -ShadowStaller 08:08, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh, btw, I want to say that I think the page should be edited because it seems to be written from one persons POV which should be changed but overall the page should be kept not deleted -ShadowStaller 08:10, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * It definitely is in need of a POV check. Please be bold and render the article more neutral! Uncle G 11:49:33, 2005-08-23 (UTC)
 * Keep. Member of a notable band. Cnwb 08:31, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete. For a member of "one of the most influential and controversial bands of all time", she sure is unheard-of. --Agamemnon2 09:55, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Following WP:MUSIC as a guideline, she satisfies #2: (she has gone on an international tour and tours of the UK with both Psychic TV and Throbbing Gristle and perfomed at All Tomorrow's Parties) #3: (Was a part of at least 20 albums with Throbbing Gristle and more with Pyschic TV, not too mention 17 live albums with Psychic TV) #4: (TG and Psychic TV have been featured in countless media esp. in Britain such as NME and Rolling Stone #5: (Ian Curtis of Joy Division was an original member of Psychic TV but he committed suicide before their first album) #6: (Throbbing Gristle pretty much invented or were one of the originators of Industrial music along with Cabaret Voltaire and had a massive influence on Post-Punk and electronica especially with the use of samples). She is also rather notable for her alleged connection to Satanic Ritual Abuse in England and the eventual clearing of any claims against her. Throbbing Gristle (the main reason shes listed as its a pretty influential band and all the members have their own pages) has 131,000 hits on Google, considering theyre not very famous thats quite a bit. -ShadowStaller 10:20, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * And please be bold and add some citations of news coverage of the controversy that you mention to the article and flesh out its Discography section. See Kim Wilde and Charlotte Church (to pick two female artists at random) for pointers. Uncle G 11:49:33, 2005-08-23 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Throbbing Gristle. No need for her own page. Proto t c 10:08, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Although Throbbing Gristle is the band shes most notable for, she deserves her own page for her work in Psychic TV not too mention the fact that she has released her own solo albums -ShadowStaller 10:22, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * A huge thank you to for providing a welcome relief from the arguments that we usually get from new users.  That's well-reasoned, based upon our guidelines, detailed, and persuasive. Keep. Uncle G 11:49:33, 2005-08-23 (UTC)
 * I concur. Keep. Nandesuka 12:54, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per ShadowStaller. Thatdog 19:32, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup. Thanks to ShadowStaller and welcome to Wikipedia. Capitalistroadster 19:53, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep per ShadowStaller. "New Age woo woo" indeed! Tonywalton | Talk 21:06, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep She's notable for solo work in addition to Throbbing Gristle Jessamyn 03:00, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable musician, but the article needs work. 23skidoo 05:24, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep but move. She was a partner in Psychic TV, involved in Throbbing Gristle, married to a major figure in experimental music, and has released her own material. The article needs to be fleshed out, however and should probably moved to Alaura O'Dell as that appears to be the name she has lived under outside of her marriage to Genesis P-Orridge and is working under.  I believe some effort on both their part has gone into removing the name "Paula P-Orridge" from all re-releases. Glowimperial 17:12, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
