Is this producer really notable? Bearian (talk) 04:10, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

:The article has references which are clearly reliable, but they're not inline. There's potential, but the article is a trainwreck. I haven't actually looked at the references, but this much content without a single inline citation usually is a sign of copyright violation, in which case we'd have to nuke it. mftp dan ^oops 15:07, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

Hey! If anyone reading this is familiar with this band's sound, the genre of this band has been a somewhat perennial problem, though less so in recent years. I am inviting all interested parties to partake in a talk page discussion regarding a good-faith proposal to make a change to the genre parameter, rather than one editor acting unilaterally. Deftones is too complicated for such boldness. Thanks, mftp dan ^oops 15:11, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

I want to start a page for a musical artist under that artist's name, but it currently redirects to a band's page that happens to have that musicians name as part of the band they were in. Now, that artist has enough to warrant their own page under that artist's own name as a solo artist. How do you manage this? Ravin9976 (talk) 20:22, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

There's a quote from John "Drumbo" French in The Magic Band article about how difficult it was to work with Captain Beefheart/Van Vliet. The issue is that the reference, as stated, fails verification. At the very least there are no page numbers that high (815-816) in the Mike Barnes book Captain Beefheart. The quote has been promulgated throughout the internet and I suppose it must exist so I am hoping someone in this WikiProject has access to the book and can find the quote on whatever page it might be on. I have tried my best to at least find some aspect of the quote in the Barnes book online but have come up empty.

Here are all the particulars:

• Captain Beefheart by Mike Barnes, published by Omnibus Press in 2011. 410 pages.
  

Quote:

:"If Van Vliet built a house like he wrote music, the methodology would go something like this ... The house is sketched on the back of a Denny's placemat in such an odd fashion that when he presents it to the contractor without plans or research, the contractor says "This structure is going to be hard to build, it's going to be tough to make it safe and stable because it is so unique in design." Van Vliet then yells at the contractor and intimidates him into doing the job anyway. The contractor builds the home, figuring out all the intricacies involved in structural integrity himself because whenever he approaches Van Vliet, he finds that he seems completely unable to comprehend technical problems and just yells, "Quit asking me about this stuff and build the damned house."...When the house is finished no one gets paid, and Van Vliet has a housewarming party, invites none of the builders and tells the guests he built the whole thing himself."

I did find a 2020 blog post that had the quote in full - from [https://am-records.com/2020/02/10/well-done-beefheart/ A&M Records-Alan & Margaret Ashworth "Well Done Beefheart"] - but the only source they gave was "John ‘Drumbo’ French, who told an interviewer". Thanks in advance for any help. = Shearonink (talk) 01:50, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
