spam/advertising and touting by fanboys in a country travel article

[edit]

Adding infoboxes and a whole paragraph of advertisement for one single musical band violates both NPOV and Wikivoyage:Don't tout and to most readers looks like in your face spam/advertising. Also urging travelers to attend their concerts clearly violates the Wikivoyage policy on touting.

I'm not opposed to mention Laibach, along with some other musical bands and musicians, in a sentence in the article, but adding infoboxes and paragraphs eulogizing the band looks like spam that fanboys would do.

Reading the article Music of Slovenia on wikipedia, I did not get the impression from the article that Laibach stands out that much in Slovenian music to merit this kind of advertisement in a travel article. This is what the article says "Laibach [ˈlaɪbax] is a Slovenian avant-garde music group strongly associated with Nazism, martial, and neo-classical musical styles. Laibach formed June 1, 1980 in Trbovlje, Slovenia (then Yugoslavia). Laibach represents the music wing of the Neue Slowenische Kunst (NSK) art collective, of which it was a founding member in 1984. The name "Laibach" is the German name for Slovenia's capital city, Ljubljana." So they have certainly some importance within Slovenian industrial music, but not necessarily of Slovenian music in general.

It would be as absurd as adding an infobox on Rammstein in the Germany country article, along with lenghty paragraphs claiming that they are the best or most noteworthy band of Germany. Because it seems to be in your face advertising, I think it should be reduced to about one sentence, and other musicians and bands should also be mentioned. --124.123.62.243 04:54, 1 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

On the face of it, what you're saying sounds reasonable. Side point, though: NPOV is expressly not Wikivoyage policy. Instead, we have Wikivoyage:Be fair, which is not quite the same. Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:25, 1 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
