Talk:GRIMMS

message: It's nice that Grimms is an acronym for our favorite six members of the band and that somebody sometime apparently explained that that's where the name came from but, like it or not -- Adrian Henri, Brian Patten, Zoot Money, Michael Giles, & John Megginson -- are also listed in the band on the Help 11 album (which I take it is being shown as "Grimms"), while Roberts & Stanshall are not.  Likewise Patten, David Richards, Megginson, Ollie Hadsall, & Gerry Conway are listed in the group on the Rockin' Duck album, while Stanshall again is not.  I don't know what was behind those anonymous changes of your member list but I think that dismissing the other band members with that simple, "there could be as many as another six additional members at a performance," is equivalent to listing Pete Best as a Beatle but ignoring Ringo.  If you must have your acronymatic list effect, I would suggest that those six members be listed first and set apart from the other members by a blank line, if you wish (even though those six members are mixed in with the others in each [I don't have the 3rd album.] album's members list).  I may get around to creating individual pages for the first two Grimms albums but, even then, I would say that that list shouldn't be limited to those six guys, unless YOU can back up your setting them above, all the other Grimms members, with some source making a good case for them NOT all being equal.

message: ::Alright, well I did skip the google book, news,  and .uk link because i didnt look to see that they were specific links and was a bit annoyed that you just gave me three generic links as if to say "look here", but that was my mistake.  I am coming at this from the WP:Poetry project and was directed here because the artice came up for having the word poet in it. What I did fail to realize by the article's wording is that it is an ensemble of poets and musicians, and thus completely out of my jurisdiction and interest. I'll admit to having a limited knowledge of British poetry beyond Bunting, but McGough is notable as a poet. The band didn't come up to any great extent in any search without adding his name into the key words, and thus I was curious about its notability, which is wholly through its members. Please forgive my intrusion, I tend to get into a bit of a frenzy when I see poet and band in the same sentence:) Mrathel (talk) 04:51, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There has been an ongoing tradition in the UK (I don't know about elsewhere) for the pairing of poets and music from 1950s jazz onwards, through the 1960s, then punk and to the present day. Even John Betjeman recorded with musical backing. I would see Grimms as essentially a "poetry band", because of the importance of words in their oeuvre. Ty 05:57, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Please note that the band also had three albums released on major labels, which meets the criteria for music notability, in addition to the fame of its members (and not just McGough). -AyaK (talk) 06:14, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

message: It's a tiny, miniscule point, I'll admit, but... shouldn't the title of the article be capitalised, seeing as GRIMMS is most definitely an acronym?  It might also help to deliniate GRIMMS as an entity in itself for anyone who might want to debate their notability in future. HippyGumbo (talk) 12:42, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
