I don't think that the "Dada Manifesto 2001" should be included in the text. It is obscure and insignificant. It only gets two results on google, both from the actual manifesto website. I've moved it to talk:
:[[Dale J. Sprague]] wrote the '''Dada Manifesto 2001''', endorsed by 10 people (as of [[2003]]), at [http://www.nwlink.com/~phoenix/dada-manifesto-2001.htm Phoenix Web Site].

==removal of the Bonzo Dog Band from the "Related links" section==
Hello, I noticed you removed the Bonzo Dog Band from [[Dada]] on the grounds that the article is about the art movement that finished in the 20s/30s. However, it has a section called ''legacy'' and you haven't removed [[Tom Stoppard]]. Can you explain your reasoning in more detail? Thanks. --[[User:Bodnotbod|bodnotbod]] 05:05, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
:So we meet at last? :-)
:I removed it from the "Related links" section as IMO the Bonzo Dog Band has only secondary and faint relations with Dada, at least in contrast with that section's other links: 1918 Dada Manifesto, Expressionism, Futurism, Modernism, Surrealism etc.
:Arguably, mentioning the band in the legacy section e.g. like this:
::''The British musical group originally named [[Bonzo_Dog_Doo-Dah_Band]] (Doo-Dah being an allusion to Dada) called one song Ready Mades and another The Bride Stripped Bare by Batchelors.''
:could be considered acceptable, though only from a mere formal point of view: the band was influenced by Dada - but then, where would that list end? I suppose hundreds, if not thousends of artist of any kind have been subject to Dada influence or be sympathetic to it. Wikipedia articles should not be [[What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_a_mirror_or_a_repository_of_links.2C_images.2C_or_media_files|linklists]]. There are some exceptions to the rule for technical articles, but IMO this doesn't apply here.
:So the decision should be about relevancy: is the Bonzo Dog Band relevant enough to the subject to be included? I'm not too happy with the legacy section, IMO it should center on trends and movements inspired by Dada, possibly including artists that made a lasting imprint on art history. I don't think the Bonzo Dog Band falls into that category. Anyway, you should dicuss this here, I might be wrong. ...and fear not: I'm not a Bonzo Dog Band hater. --[[User:Tickle me|Tickle me]] 06:23, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
