Talk:Marmalade (band)

message: 1. I changed "The Marmalade" 1967 to "The Marmalade" in 1967.
2. "A later version of the band (from 1974)" - why isn't the year 1974 mentioned later in the article? This statement seems not validated.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.125.90.119 (talk) 13:20, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

message: This article suffers from a shortage, or complete lack of, references covering the periods 1961 to 1967 and 1976 to date.  It is notable that the outfit probably fails to reach the minimum requirement of notability during these years.  Perhaps these two issues should see that amount of coverage reduced, to more accurately present an overview of the notable time span of the group (over which there is no argument, or lack of supporting references). For another example, listing numerous band member changes (also largely unsourced) over the decades is undue weight. Derek R Bullamore (talk) 13:35, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: References

message: This article mainly pertains to the original band between 1966 and 1972 - the most recognised successful period for the band in terms of worldwide record success.
Subsequent members should be acknowledged - but lengthy detail should be listed within their own separate page avoiding undue weight.

message: A contributor continues to place a lengthy Timeline section in the article which adds undue weight.
I have removed as this "Timeline" summarises information which is already predominately dealt with in the article.
Request to cease, please Justthefactspal (talk) 12:37, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure there's any strict policy that prevents this. Personally I find timelines very useful, whether or not the same material is included in the prose. If it's only "predominately dealt with", that suggests the timeline adds something extra. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:06, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  Hey! I'm the one who added this timeline in the first place. Such articles are common on wiki pages for bands and artists and Marmalade have had enough lineup changes that I believe a timeline is a substantial addition to the page. In addition, you are the only one complaining about this and deleting it without consensus, only using the vague phrase "Undue weight" as reasoning. As others on this talk page have supported such a timeline being in the article, I believe it should stay. Sparkysilverfish (talk) 04:56, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

text:  Hey!  I get it ... so, in fairness, let's make it even "weightier" ... The article opens with "Marmalade are a Scottish pop rock band originating from the east end of Glasgow, originally formed in 1961 as The Gaylords". The article also notes that the recognised major commercial success of the subjects of the article was between 1968-72. so why don't you then include "The Gaylords" within your timeline? This period included at least four of the recognised members who went on to be the main part of the commercial success listed, and surely should be part of a timeline rather than itemised details of obscure membership some fifty years later, considering the last final original member departed almost eleven years ago? ... surely All or Nothing. Not a critique, just a constructive suggestion in my view. thanks Justthefactspal (talk) 00:12, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
