List of Pearl Jam band members

 * Nominator(s): WereWolf (talk) 23:02, 14 July 2010 (UTC) -5- (talk) 23:07, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because... I strongly believe that this list meets all of the criteria for FLC. I'm stunned how the first nomination was not successful. The list is comprehensive, reliable, and deserving to become a featured list. I also believe that it deserves a second chance. Thank you, WereWolf (talk) 23:02, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Fixed all of the dead external links using WebArchive. Done. WereWolf (talk) 21:02, 30 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment I don't dispute the quality of this list, although I do think that Boom Gaspar's image should be moved alongside his entry to reduce the amount of whitespace. Undeniably the layout is useful for someone who specifically wants to know about the member history. But I can't support promotion, as I don't think there is anything substantial here that isn't covered in the main article, meaning that this list does not pass featured list criteria 3(b). Sorry. --WFC-- 20:44, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
 * So, does this mean you dispute all of the other featured lists, such as List of Red Hot Chili Peppers band members, List of Slipknot band members, List of Megadeth band members, and List of Nine Inch Nails band members, as well? Those lists clearly meet criteria 3.b, or they wouldn't be featured. What makes this list any different? WereWolf (talk) 00:35, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
 * With RHCP, Megadeth and NIN, I think the lists can be justified on the basis that they literally change a band member every year, and therefore the band member history is probably too confusing to bundle into the main article. With Pearl Jam, the band has remained unchanged for 20 years, apart from the drummer and the fact that they've had one touring musician since 2002. Slipknot is a more borderline case, but given that (deaths aside) all the changes happened in a three-year period, I probably would have taken a similar stance to the one I've taken here. --WFC-- 08:21, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Pearl Jam has had a long history of membership. Every current official band member was part of Temple of the Dog, which isn't even mentioned in the main article. There is also no mention of Matt Chamberlain recording any material with the band in the main article, but that information is listed here. Also, there is a lot more information given to why each member left the band, which are supported by quotations from the other members. Dave Krusen only gets half a sentence on the main article explaining why he left the band, but here, he gets a paragraph. There is a lot more information stored here on this list, which is why it meets criteria 3.b. If we felt as if we didn't, -5- and I wouldn't have nominated it.
