Deletion?

This page has been nominated for deletion. I would argue that Twin Temple lives up criterion #7: “Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style.”

They are the only band of the genre Satanic Doo-Wop, which makes them culturally significant, at least within the indie culture. VicStr (talk) 03:08, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion? No!

They are still a indie band, but they are growing a reputation for not paying their crew (note: this is unfounded). They have released two albums.and sevens singles. They have been mentioned in magazines such as Revolver and LA Times. Alex Jones and Infowars also did an entire episode about them. They are gaining quite the following around the world, and they are also forming their own musical style.

I have no affiliation with the band, with the soul exception of having heard and read about them recently and was surprised that there was no entry about them on Wikipedia.

They also have over a million listeners on Spotify.

I do believe they live up to Wikipedia’s requirements for being notable. VicStr (talk) 04:04, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not paying their staff

Add to “controversy”

Recently they have courted more controversy over alleged refusal to pay their crew. Their heavy handed approach in attempting to resolve the matter by use of legal threats, amounting to blackmail, has resulted in a movement amongst crew in the UK to blacklist them in support of the injured parties.

In 2022 the band were accused of not paying their technical staff over a number of shows and staff members. However these accusations were withdrawn and a statement clearly written by a lawyer was posted. unfortunately for the band this statement had the opposite effect as it was clear it was made under duress, with the statement later being amended to add how the band were "lovely people to work with", a sentiment that was not expressed in the original statement. Although the statements purpose was to protect their reputation it had the opposite effect, resulting in the wider industry blacklisting them. 92.238.5.222 (talk) 12:32, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
