If Desaparecidos means "disappeared" and has a meaning in Latin American history/politics, should this be broken up into two different sections? The last paragraph could be moved up to the top, with a nice big line between it and the band's definition, like the [Bright Eyes] page, split between the Dylan song and Connor's main band. 23 April 2024 user:MrZaius

It sounds good to me. I would have made a disambiguation page if we had some more information on the non-musical definition. --cprompt 15:28, Nov 16, 2004 (UTC)

Page move[edit]

Does anyone have any objections to Desaparecidos_(band) being deleated (it is currently a redirect to here) and to this page then being moved there, to free up this name space for an article about the south americans who were actually disappeared? The bellman 03:18, 2004 Nov 30 (UTC)

please delete if there are no links to it. --Walter Görlitz 22:38, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What this says is that six months ago, the article was under "Desaparecidos" with "Desaparecidos (band)" being a redirect. The article was moved to this namespace to keep "Desaparecidos" clear for the actual political kidnappings. Since then the article also has around fifty links to it.

Deletion?[edit]

I personally placed the hangon tag on this page. I was never a real fan of Desaparecidos, and I absolutely hate Bright Eyes, but this was certainly a notable band, whether or not they were around for long (hell, neither were The Doors). Just letting everyone know. -- Kicking222 22:30, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - doesn't matter if you like or dislike the band. The article does not describe the notability of the band. There are certain criteria for determining whether a band should or should not be in Wikipedia, and the article about this band does not clearly display any information that allows us to determine if the band does or does not meet that criteria. To use your counter-example, The Doors do meet that criteria on several levels: albums released, singles charted, and tours to name a few. --Walter Görlitz 22:38, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable; note that it is often most appropriate to use redirects in place of articles on side projects, early bands and such.", from WP:MUSIC. This band has four musicians with other successful bands, as well as the music being a departure from their usual styles. Both of these qualifiers are mentioned in the opening paragraph of the article. T e k e 03:30, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but I think I understand the concept of notability. -- Kicking222 02:27, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Desaparecidos translation[edit]

"Desaparecidos" means literally "the ones who disappeared" in Spanish

I was told by a native Spanish speaker that it was more accuratly translated into "the lost people." The actual Spanish to English translations may be "the ones who disappeared"; however it is used in Spanish to mean lost, not disappeared...at least that is what I was told. —User:Christopher Mann McKay 18:39, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What's the pronunciation of Desaparecidos? We don't learn Spanish where I live so I'm personally not familiar with Spanish pronunciations Stephen9o3 (talk) 02:41, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I believe its pronounced De-sah-par-es-see-dohs. 24.63.75.131 (talk) 17:46, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
