Talk:Grandaddy

message: I am not too familiar with the Wikipedia style guide, but I get the feeling this article would look and read a lot better if we got rid of the huge logo, downsized the band photo, and had all the discography on one page. It's not warranted splitting up such a short article over several sections. Galaga88 14:23, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

message: :Image:Grandaddyphotoshoot.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 15:32, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

message: The linked word 'indietronic' just links to the electronic music, which doesn't mention 'indietronic' as far as I can see.

message: A moderate amount of the article Alan Parsons in a Winter Wonderland should be merged into this article at which point the former article should be replaced with a redirect.  The most important section from "Reception" that should be merged is the quote from Scott Miller as that is the only review that specifically relates to Grandaddy.

replies: text: We have articles for several of Grandaddy's singles. It makes no sense to merge one of them into the Grandaddy article, as if all the others don't exist. Most of these articles are short but many can be expanded. It would be much better to merge of all of these together into a separate article or a section of the discography rather than merge odd ones into the band article. I'm a bit puzzled by the statement above about the reviews - they all discuss this song by Grandaddy, so how can only one of them relate to Grandaddy?--Michig (talk) 06:16, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

text: I agree with Michig. Lachlanusername (talk) 08:59, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

text: If the article is merged into Grandaddy, it would require a significant reduction of the information found in the article.  In my experience with biographies, it is most appropriate to include the information most relevant to the subject of the article.  The fact that the song was downright silly might be relevant to the song but not to the artist.  The fact that Scott Miller stated that Grandaddy deserved immortality is the only thing that would add information about Grandaddy to the article about him.

replies: text: Grandaddy is a band, not a person. This isn't a biography. This article really needs a lot of expansion to cover the band properly. I would suggest that when that's done it will be easier to judge how much information is relevant and where it fits best.--Michig (talk) 09:03, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

text: FYI: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Laughing_Stock_(song) ... I commented there that this discussion was happening and linked to this discussion. It should be considered in the Merge as well. Hopefully a relist will happen to give a bit more time for it to happen. Exit2DOS  • Ctrl • Alt • Del 19:47, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

text: I went ahead with a redirect.  Both editors now agree that the article should not be in place and a redirect seems like the best option which both should agree with.  Ryan Vesey Review me! 18:26, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
