Genre and sources

[edit]

Adding a source for the genre is understandable as it's often a contentious issue. Out of interest, what would be considered an appropriate source for this? Would the bands own facebook About section be acceptable or would it need to come from a web or print article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnmdar (talkcontribs) 01:42, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Published work (such as web or print articles) is preferable. Ideally there should be a musical style section discussing various descriptions of the band's sound, which can include their own self-description on social media, and infobox genres should reflect it.--MASHAUNIX 23:46, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Page Update 2016-06-15

[edit]
  • Improved the content and structure of the introduction
  • Added Formation and Early Years section
  • Added Use of Crowd-Funding section
  • Increased the number of citations
  • Added a photo taken in Tokyo June, 2015 to the artist box
  • Improved the content by adding more detailed information about the albums, reaction to the albums and touring information
  • Put the album details into a table for readability

Suggested Further Improvments:

  • The Patreon campaign generated some negative feedback on social media, however I could not find a reputatble source to cite for this only alluded to this in the Use of Crowd-Funding section.
  • To deter vandalism, should this page be partially locked so that only registered users may edit it?
  • Citation needed for genre - It appears that many sources refer to their music as Progressive Metal, rather than Progressive Death Metal.

What do people think about changing the genre to simply Progressive Metal?

Requested move 14 September 2014

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Not moved. No evidence was presented that this band is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC of Ne Obliviscaris. Lacking a primary topic, we would expect to see a DAB page at Ne Obliviscaris and the band with '(band)' in the title. EdJohnston (talk) 16:56, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]



Ne Obliviscaris (band)Ne Obliviscaris – Unnecessary disambiguation. --Relisted. EdJohnston (talk) 15:54, 22 September 2014 (UTC)  – Gorobay (talk) 18:32, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:08, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Note, I have turned Ne obliviscaris into a dab. Having been deleted 7 times and come back, is the band now properly sourced? In ictu oculi (talk) 09:50, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This band has a worldwide underground following, so the article has potential. Blizk2 (talk) 12:53, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

correct translation from Latin

[edit]

"Ne obliviscaris" does not mean "May you all not forget", because the verbal conjugation suffix "-aris" denotes 2nd pers. SINGULAR (in the conjunctive passive form, since "oblivisci" is a deponent verb), so the meaning of "ne obliviscaris" is simply "Do not forget", one single person addressed. 193.154.225.241 (talk) 14:18, 15 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing Questionability

[edit]

I am concerned about the sourcing for this article. By my count, 12 of the sources are from facebook, which are "questionable" and "generally avoided" per WP:RS and "particularly discouraged" per WP:ELS. I normally remove facebook citations, but was hesitant to do so in this case because of the sheer scope of this article's dependency upon facebook. Is anybody with more Wikipedia experience able to weigh in here? BlackDahlia94 (talk) 05:12, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
