:Hello, Meepmeepyeet, here is my answer about Jack Dupon, french band. I don’t know if you allready saw it ?
:== Arguments for keeping the Jack Dupon page ==
:As a Wikipedia contributor, I would like to provide factual elements to this discussion regarding the proposed deletion of the Jack Dupon page.
:=== 1. Wikipedia notability criteria clearly met ===
:The Jack Dupon page clearly meets the ”’notability criteria”’ established by Wikipedia for music groups:
:”’Substantial international media coverage:”’
:* ”’Exposé Magazine”’ (USA) – International reference publication for progressive rock
:* ”’Progressor.net”’ – Recognized specialized site in the progressive community
:* ”’Artists and Bands”’ (Italy) – European music publication
:* ”’Ahasverus”’ (France) – Specialized music webzine
:* ”’ProgArchives”’ – International reference database
:=== 2. Established professional recognition ===
:”’Renowned international festivals:”’
:* ”’Zappanale”’ (Germany) – Alongside Magma, George Duke, Alice Cooper
:* ”’FIMAV”’ (Canada) – Festival International de Musique Actuelle de Victoriaville
:* ”’ProgDay Festival”’ (USA) – Chapel Hill, North Carolina
:* ”’Rock In Opposition”’ (France) – Festival dedicated to the RIO movement
:”’Documented international tours:”’
:* United States (2010) – Organized by Transit Music Group
:* Canada (2015) – First Canadian tour
:* Balkans and Northern Europe (2011) – 8 countries, multiple cities
:* United Kingdom (2011) – Smugglers and Malcfest festivals
:=== 3. Sustained activity and longevity ===
:”’20 years of active career (2004-2024):”’
:* ”’8 studio albums”’ released
:* ”’Several live albums”’ and DVDs
:* ”’Regular tours”’ throughout Europe and overseas
:* ”’Documented artistic evolution”’ (recent transition to trio format)
:=== 4. Reliable and verifiable secondary sources ===
:Contrary to deletion claims, the page can rely on ”’multiple reliable secondary sources”’:
:”’Recent specialized publications:”’
:* Detailed review in Exposé Magazine (January 2025) for “Toucan” album
:* In-depth review on Progressor.net (2024)
:* Chronicle on Artists and Bands (Italian, 2024)
:* Mention in the book “Rock psychédélique : un voyage en 150 albums” (David Rassent, 2016)
:”’Institutional programming:”’
:* Sub (Vitry-sur-Seine) – Official cultural programming
:* Various documented European venues
:=== 5. Cultural and artistic impact ===
:”’Recognized musical classification:”’
:* ”’Rock In Opposition (RIO)”’ – Historic and documented musical movement
:* ”’Progressive avant-garde”’ – Established genre with its own notability criteria
:* ”’Heirs to Frank Zappa, King Crimson, Gong”’ – Artistic lineage recognized by critics
:== Proposed resolution ==
:Rather than deleting this page that meets notability criteria, I propose:
:# ”’Complete update”’ with available recent sources
:# ”’Reference improvement”’ by integrating recent international reviews
:# ”’Information updates”’ on the group’s current activity
:The Jack Dupon page deserves to be maintained and enriched rather than deleted, as it documents a group with established international recognition in progressive and experimental rock.
:== Sources to integrate immediately ==

:* Sub Vitry Programming: https://sub.vitry94.fr/3392-27018/programmation/fiche/foune-curry-jack-dupon.htm
:These sources demonstrate continued notability and current critical recognition that fully justify maintaining the page.
