Genre

Latest comment: 16 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

It is obvious that the genre that The Comsat Angels play is post-punk, not shoegaze (trust me, personally I have heard My Bloody Valentine, Kitchens of Distinction and Slowdive) and it is also incogruent calling them Shoegaze as the shoegaze movement would develop at the mid-80's to late 80's and the work of The Comsat Angels is older.

Also check a definition on AMG of Shoegaze:

Merger proposal

Latest comment: 5 years ago6 comments5 people in discussion

I propose that Dream Command be merged into The Comsat Angels. Dream Command was only a brief name used by the band, not intended to be a separate act, and not extensive or relevant enough to have a separate article. danBLOO (talk) 15:46, 17 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Support. Should obviously be merged as it's the same band. --Michig (talk) 16:01, 17 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
Support. Clearly just an alias. Same band. Greg Fasolino (talk) 19:27, 17 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
So it's almost a year later. Looks like this was supported. Can we merge?Greg Fasolino (talk) 17:29, 6 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
Support. Having two articles forks the band's history.

@Greg Fasolino: I say, go ahead. Narky Blert (talk) 13:10, 27 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 05:16, 16 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

External links

There are 10 entries in the "External links". Three seems to be an acceptable number and of course, everyone has their favorite to add for four. The problem is that none is needed for article promotion.

ELpoints #3) states: Links in the "External links" section should be kept to a minimum. A lack of external links or a small number of external links is not a reason to add external links.
LINKFARM states: There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to the external links section of an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia. On articles about topics with many fansites, for example, including a link to one major fansite may be appropriate.
WP:ELMIN: Minimize the number of links. --

Trim links and remove 2013 tag.
