Hello, can anybody help me add /info/en/?search=Draft:Jolyon_Petch to this group?
Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ainamera22 ( talk • contribs) 01:26, July 17, 2021 (UTC)
Hello everyone! I just wanted to let you know that I've created a draft for Alfie Templeman's next album, which is set to be released in a few weeks; given the artist's profile, I think we'll get enough media coverage on it to meet WP:GNG comfortably. Whether you want to make corrections or add some more information, any kind of help is appreciated! Oltrepier ( talk) 17:38, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
Hello everyone! I'm planning to complete my draft as soon as possible, now that the album is out. Like I wrote, any help would be appreciated! Oltrepier ( talk) 15:01, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
I wrote on the above's talk page [1] that I'd post here to ask for feedback from other music editors. What started as a disagreement over the inclusion of the Wallflowers morphed into a discussion about an incredibly poor Bustle listicle [2] and then, not for the first time, morphed into a question about the basic premise of the list: "one-hit wonder" vs. artist with one top 40 hit, and whether an encyclopedic article can make the two synonymous. This is a list that seems mostly edited by one editor--which is fine; too much is made of WP Ownership--and a list that has always been full of poor sources, built on top of the work of Wayne Jancik (who mentions the Wiki love on his site), and gets off to a rocky start by explaining that the artists need to be mentioned by "two sources in media", rather than two reliable sources. There are two schools of thought, maybe: Taco is a one-hit wonder vs. Frank Zappa is a musician who had one top 40 hit (Zappa is mentioned in the prose, sourced to an Entertainment Weekly "article" that is a reproduction of a VH1 list). This isn't about aesthetic judgement or rockism--I'll always take fun and poppy over serious and pretentious. But there seems to be consistent disagreement and tortured reasoning about keeping artists who had multiple hits across many U.S. formats or for whom "one-hit wonder" may not be a defining characteristic. It may be time to go with either the cultural construct or the chart history. Yesterday was my first day editing the page, to my knowledge. If I'm in the minority of thinking that the list has problems, I'll shut up and take it off my watchlist. Thoughts? Thanks. Caro7200 ( talk) 16:32, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
Due to my edits on quite a lot of articles of K-Pop songs being removed most of them saying K-Pop isn't a genre. I believe it is and I want to provide a consensus across Wikipedia if it is.
From what I know, the first known open discussion about this on English Wikipedia is made by me at Talk:K-pop#Is K-Pop a music genre? and one at Talk:Ddu-du Ddu-Du#Is K-Pop a music genre?
If this discussion gets too big, maybe it could it a WikiProject if it works like that too. —

The more modern form of the genre, originally termed "rap dance"...and discusses it being a "hybrid genre" in that it synthesizes a lot of Western music styles, like EDM and hip hop—and it's also categorised as a pop music genre. I think that's pretty clear, but obviously some editors are bound to disagree. IF there's contention around what you consider a simple broad genre description, it's best to source it.

Why do we categorise bands with all female members as "all female" while never categorising bands with all male members as "all male" or bands with a mix of member genders as "mixed gender"?

22:12, 10 June 2024 (UTC)I am sad to report that Hyacinth,a very long-standing editor to articles on this project, has passed away. Condolences should go on his talk page. Graham87 ( talk) 08:39, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
I couldn't find any sources for Best of Kris Kross Remixed '92 '94 '96 whatsoever, and I don't think it's even an official album, as it doesn't even have an entry on AllMusic. Jax 0677 ( talk · contribs) is being a bit unusual about sourcing, claiming that Kris Kross needs a source to prove the album exists even though it has an article. (I cannot wrap my brain around the concept of "Article A needs a source to prove that the subject of Article B exists.") I could only find Discogs, Genius, and other user generated sources for it, and no mentions of it in reliable sources like Billboard. I personally think it should be sent to AFD for lack of verifiability and being an unlikely redirect/merge term due to its seemingly unofficial nature, but as I am topic banned from XFD I cannot do it myself and leave it to others to decide. Pinging @ Binksternet:, @ Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars:, and @ Koavf:, all of whom have edited the article. Ten Pound Hammer • ( What did I screw up now?) 03:24, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Lists of works regarding sourcing lists of works. The thread is Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style/Lists_of_works#Are_references_required_for_lists_of_works?. Thank you. Vladimir.copic ( talk) 00:48, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
There is a discussion on the reliability of Mixdown at the Reliable Sources Noticeboard. Any input would be helpful, the thread is WP:RSN#Mixdown (music website). -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested « @» ° ∆t° 12:37, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
