This webpage was self-promotional and not worthwhile knowledge, hence I took the liberty of deleting it. I request that this page be removed permanently from Wikipedia.
Thanks, -Larry

- I too agree that this page is currently self-promotional in some ways. I will make a few changes. On the other hand, this page covers a valid subject: a musical band that has officially recorded an album with a publishing company. Fans exist, and if you delete this page (for real), at some point, another fan will create a new page in their ignorance of the precedent and thus lacking quality. The solution is to establish a valid style that can be later modified.

- How presumptuous of Larry. They are the biggest local band in Ann Arbor (where I go to school). They are also known on some national level as they've won two John Lennon Songwriting Contests, and a music video will be featured on three upcoming episodes of The Real World Key West and a song will be featured in two upcoming episode of the OC [1]

. They are obviously an up-and-coming, relevant band. What's Larry's problem?
-
- Some changes I will make shortly:
- Removing most of the links to the videos. Those are easily linked to from the band's official site. I will change the subject in that section to how the music vid 'Banana Man' gained significant initial publicity for the band.

[edit] Joe Hawley merged here
See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joe Hawley. Johnleemk | Talk 12:10, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
- It seems to me that much of the info on Joe Hawley is irrelevant. Is it really necessary to know what foundations and whatnot, he is a part of? Nor do we need to know his role in every Tally Hall video. Gertlex 22:48, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
- Looking again, I recommend removing the entire section on Joe Hawley. Perhaps the members section shoudl be replaed with a biography section. (I'm using Toad the Wet Sprocket's page as a coherent guide)Gertlex 22:52, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
- Sounds good to me. Once I've got a bit more free time, I'll take it on. Imdwalrus 05:54, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Band Member section
Edit to section stated this was taken from their website... and would be a copyvio. Regardless it is a bit too "fanboy". If someone wants to add expanded bios using their site as source material that is fine, but do an original write and try and retain a bit more encyclopedic tone.--Isotope23 19:55, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Page move
Saw the page move request. I originally thought "Tally Hall" referred to something quite different, but I found this researching: [2]. The building is an office/parking structure. [3] Info suggests the building has a mixed history and has been unused for various periods. While it is not mentioned by name in History of Ann Arbor, Michigan, from descriptions and maps, the lead picture may have been taken from the parking structure. There was also a Tally Hall Press in the same city. Both the publisher and the band likely got their names from the building. From what I can tell, neither the building nor the publisher are very notable, so the band should have the main article space. The building should definitely be mentioned in the band article if it is the source of the band name, and the publisher could be mentioned there too as another entity which took its name from the building.

[edit] Recordings?
That link to archive.org - the collection seems to be empty. Anyone know anything more about it? DS 15:46, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
