Where's the dispute?
Requests for mediation/The Hamsters

What's the dispute?

 * Issue 1. Both parties have a long history of dispute, ranging back to at least February 2008, with permanent violation of WP:CIVIL on both sides |this as well as accusations of WP:COI and WP:OWN from one side  and WP:VAN from the other.
 * Issue 2. The dispute mainly is related to content about UK rock band The Hamsters. Since the band is not widely known - at least not to me - I hope an expert can solve if the disputed content is notable or not. Note that WP:3O has denied the case, as has WP:RFM. Also note that there are several open issues of WP:V, WP:NPOV and WP:SPS.
 * Mediator's Note: What exactly are you fighting over? I wasn't able to figure that out from your responses... Also, who are the involved parties? ErikTheBikeMan (talk) 01:30, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * The declined request for mediation here should clearly state the dispute as of now. Plus, it shows the chain of earlier battles. I'm not involved at all, and one of the parties,, has not edited since several days. The dispute's high was more than a week ago, but will likely come up gain.-- Avant-garde a clue - hexa Chord 2  01:43, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
