(Deletion)

[edit]

This seems like advertising rather than information and I think it should be deleted.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Moncrief (talkcontribs) 21:32, 4 January 2004‎

VfD decided to keep the page.

The archived debate is here: Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/The Breetles— Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:{{{2}}}|{{{2}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{2}}}|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{2}}}|contribs]]) 15:31, 12 April 2004‎ Meelar

That's not reason for deletion, but it is information tailored to serve as advertising, and deserves more balanced editing, and investigation re COI.

Bad citations

[edit]

   I removed this:

"Breetveld may not be the best singer on the planet (hey, just like Brian [Wilson]!) but he writes and plays so well, the surf's always up.".[1]

because the result of a Google search:

No results found for site:www.soundandvisionmag.com breetveld OR breetles

and reverted 32 minutes later after it hit me that that claim to notability was sourced to the print mag, not the Web site. Truth is, it's not likely that getting my hands on that old a print article is going to reach the top of my priorities. But someone should provide a volume, issue, & page citation, and clarify at least on the talk page just how the article implied that "Brian" clearly meant Brian Wilson.

Dubious

[edit]

   Is

The Breetles are Chris Breetveld and anyone who plays Breetles songs, with or without him.

supposed to be a mind-blowing slogan, or a policy? If it is a policy, what does it objectively mean? I can't see how it could be meaningful policy, and if it isn't it's hard imagine that it is encyclopedic info about a notable band.

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV

[edit]

I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:

This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:
  1. There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
  2. It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
  3. In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 00:08, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
