Talk:Idioblast (album)

COI by article subject

edit

I received a convincing email from another user, via the Wikipedia "email this user" function, that said the following: "I've worked with Wikipedia editors on both the John Fekner https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Fekner and John Fekner City Squad Idioblast https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idioblast_(album)". it was signed by the article subject, so there is likely strong COI here. I have tagged the article for COI. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 23:42, 4 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Merge proposal

edit

I think it makes sense to merge this with John Fekner. The album is self-published, fringe type of thing that is more of an artwork than an album. On the one hand it seems to fail WP:NALBUM, but on the other hand it is in the collection of the MOMA. So it is a standalone artwork in a museum collection, but it does not appear to have garnered much press in that area. It doesn't pass notability for a standalone artwork. I see at most two or three sources, so I think it makes sense to trim this and merge it to John Fekner. A final note: I received an email from another user claiming to be John Fekner, and admitting that they had worked on the article diligently. There's also a post at COIN about this. So, promotional.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 23:57, 4 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

I'd say go for it. I'm not really good at making the layout look good after they're fused together, so I'll let someone else do it. Graywalls (talk) 09:16, 9 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
