WP:ELNO point 10 is very clear about links to be avoided. Any editor wishing to re-add them or add more please make your case why we should ignore this central guideline and await a consensus before you add them. Mtking (talk)

Urm, the note on under the WP:ELNO heading contradicts the points within the policy itself "Except for a link to an official page of the article's subject", to me seems one should be used rather then all of them. All of the links were official but do think one of the five should only be used. Another point is why do we have these templates if point 10 says otherwise?

WP:ELNO also clearly states "Except for a link to an official page of the article's subject..." The band does not currently have a dedicated website, so the provided links ARE the official links to their pages. These are the links people follow to get information directly from the band, and therefore they are valid.--Rowie235 (talk) 05:40, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I say at least leave the facebook link. This is their main platform at this time.--Rowie235 (talk) 05:41, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm - The band does not have an official website, that says a lot about the bands management, in that case I think it is ok (until the bands management gets it's act in order) to have either the facebook or myspace one listed, my pref would be for MySpace. Mtking (talk) 05:49, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
They only recently started getting a lot of attention. I'm sure a website is on their list. As for the myspace, barely anyone uses myspace anymore, and the band posts on facebook and twitter constantly.--Rowie235 (talk) 05:53, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It takes about 1 hour to register a domain and get a web page on the net, the reason for MySpace is that it is listed as the "Artist Website" on the Triple J Unearthed profile page. Mtking (talk) 06:00, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sure it may be easy to get a domain, but they need to design and test the website first. It won't be pure html. It will take time. And yes, Triple J does list the Myspace as their website but it's all but useless. I believe that adding the link to the facebook page doesn't hurt the integrity of Wikipedia and it can only lead to easier access to the bands official news channels.--Rowie235 (talk) 06:12, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
What's to design and test, a one page place holder with links to itunes/facebook/MySpace? Happy to change my mind if you can show a some sources that they use something else over the MySpace page. Mtking (talk) 06:19, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
All I can point you to are the twitter and facebook accounts. http://www.facebook.com/stonefieldband http://twitter.com/#!/Stonefieldband If you look over the amount of posts there recently you should see where I'm coming from.

Requested move

Stonefield (band)Stonefield (Australian band) – Since there was another band called Stonefield (see here) this page should included the country qualifier. Mtking (talk) 06:14, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I was in the process of creating a page with under that name when this one was created. The page should be called Stonefield (Australian band) with a new page possibly being created for Stonefield (Swiss band) for redirection.--Rowie235 (talk) 06:21, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
