I reworked it, I had to read the whole article before I realized they were a band--Kelapstick (talk) 14:35, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Gilles Zolty

These articles were recently tagged for Proposed deletion. I was reading through WP:BAND, and I don't think this article meets the criteria. The lead singer Gilles Zolty marginally meets the criteria (Section 11 as he is played on CBC Radio 3, and has what would be a stretch to be called a bio there [listed in external links on both pages]). None of the members or associated acts appear to have any particular notability, the link to Wayne Adams is actually a pipe link to Geoff Berner a musician that Wayne Adams played with. I think we should merge and redirect this to Gilles Zolty. And try to find some sort of reliable reference for Gilles Zolty.--Kelapstick (talk) 16:37, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what's become of Gilles since, but I jammed with these guys at Electric Alley/3328 W. Hastings when I was living there (a livework/after-hours space) back in the '90s. They were amazing. I remember teh drummer's name as Ron rather than Wayne, though, and the Wayne link goes to Geoff Berner for some reason. It sounds like Gilles is more notable than the band itself, but in terms of the Vancouver live music scene in the '90s, they're very notable; that the music critics were too busy reviewing DJs at that point for there to be much live-band press coverage is not really their fault. The Modernettes and other earlier-era live bands from Vancouver were also notable, but under-reviewed. I suppose if Gilles has more "copy"/cites than the band, the merge has to go in that direction. Pity; these guys desrved more exposure than they got....Raine Majda played the same stage that night and was a bore, but gets all the press and so "notability" (aka "fame"). These guys deserved the fame other bands got, point-blank. I know that's not notability in Wiki terms, but it's reality; original, gripping, frenzied, dance-able (everything that I, Mother Earth isn't/wasn't).....Definitely one of these two articles hsould survive....Skookum1 (talk) 18:04, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was able to find multiple newspaper articles about Zolty Cracker (which I have added just now), so I think this band's article can stand on its own notability. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 01:58, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
