Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Ramones concerts
I have the Bessman book, and the list is 100% completely verifiable from it. 10lbhammer, with respect, you might want to check the article's references before you declare it "indiscriminate and unferifiable". Bessman is not the only source available; there are other published works on the Ramones which list many of their performances (punk rock is the topic of my masters thesis, and I've collected several volumes covering the Ramones including histories of their performances). As an extremely notable band (considered the first punk rock band, now adopted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame), nearly all aspects of their history have been covered by reliable secondary sources, including lists of their gigs. In answer to Themfromspace's question, no it is not copyvio if it is simply a list of places and dates, as lists of raw data are not creative works, and even if it were the list is not copied verbatim from the source (note the creator's comments on the talk page). Jo4n's summation of the article's merits is 100% on the money, and the nominator's rationale is |completely invalid, based entirely on |not liking it with no basis in any policy or guideline. The article passes all of our core policies and I can't imagine that there's a |snowball's chance of anyone being able to prove otherwise
