Review AFC:The Vamps

[edit]

The article appears to be notable.

Naming

[edit]

Before creating the article it needs to be renamed. I would suggest The Vamps (Australian band) as this would avoid any confusion with British rock group, The Vamps or the Japanese band, Vamps (band). The article however appears to be more related to Margaret Britt (birth name - Margaret Vivian Joan Britt) than The Vamps.

Referencing

[edit]

Firstly there are a number of facts cited in the article that are unreferenced.

Secondly if you can use some web-based references it would assist in verifying the sources uses in the article. It may be possible to access the band's entry in McFarlane's Encyclopedia of Australian Rock and Pop, as it was available for a time on the whammo online record store, which can be accessed via the Internet Archive. There are a number of potential sources which you could use, which are independent and verifiable, such as:

Peaches

[edit]

There appears to be a bit more about Peaches, which can be linked to the articles on Gene Pierson and "Substitute (The Righteous Brothers song)". Sources include:

The band's song "Substitute" appears to have only reached #4 in Sydney and #15 in Australia - remaining in the charts for 23 weeks. The song also reached #34 in the End of the Year charts (refer [1]). The confusion may arise from the fact that the South African all-girl band, Clout (band), also released a version of "Substitute" at the same time, which reached #1 in Australia.

General

[edit]

There are a number of basic spelling (saxaphone, Zealan etc) and grammar errors that need correcting.

McFarlane entry?

[edit]

@Dan arndt: when reviewing this article at its AFC you imply there's an entry in McFarlane for the Vamps but I cannot find one at the on-line version. There's no mention of the Vamps in his second edition.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 04:19, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
