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)
Report a discussion ongoing about the correct title for the album: Talk:Les cinq saisons. Tenebra Blu ( talk) 15:53, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
Can we illustrate the music genre articles with tracks we have generated using Udio? In other words, is the licence for the tracks generated on the Udio platform allows to share, modify and sell the tracks? I have read the terms of service but it's not clear. Ftiercel ( talk) 17:26, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for your answers, it's clear for Wikipedia. Now for my personal information and use, is Udio licence CC-SA-BY compatible? Ftiercel ( talk) 04:30, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
Hello everyone! I don't know if this is the right page, but I just wanted to let you know that I've created a draft for Rachel Chinouriri's debut album, which is set to be released next Friday.
Whether you want to make corrections or add some more information, any kind of help is appreciated! Oltrepier ( talk) 08:21, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
@ QuietHere, Richard3120, and Sergecross73: Oh, I actually wanted to take some more time with this draft, but since you all deemed it as mainspace-ready, I feel more confident now. Thank you for promoting it, by the way!
Yes, usually up-coming artists don't get a lot of coverage, but I suppose Chinouriri can count both on her recent success and the UK's rich music-centered media landscape... Oltrepier ( talk) 17:42, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

Should Classic soul be redirected or merged somewhere? It seems to be a WP:NEO started in 2011 by one editor and not maintained, as it's been tagged for sources and notability since. There doesn't seem to be anything worth keeping. Tagging @ Back ache:, @ QuietHere:, @ Ss112:, and other invested editors. Ten Pound Hammer • ( What did I screw up now?) 22:03, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
I've noticed that in most (if not all) Taylor Swift-related articles, the subject is referred to as "the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift" (see Red (Taylor's Version), Midnights, Love Story (Taylor Swift song), or any of the articles in Template:Taylor Swift) but in many other artists' articles, this article is omitted, for example: "the seventh studio album by American singer and songwriter Beyoncé" (from the Renaissance (Beyoncé album) article), "the seventh studio album by American singer Ariana Grande" (from the Eternal Sunshine (album) article), "the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo" (from the Guts (Olivia Rodrigo album) article). I was going to post this in the WikiProject Pop music, but I figured this would have wider implications, as I also found inconsistencies with other music-related articles: "the eighth studio album by the English rock band Pink Floyd" (from The Dark Side of the Moon article) and "the debut studio album by American singer Frank Sinatra" (from The Voice of Frank Sinatra article). Any insight or suggestions would be appreciated! Dyl x 16:46, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
Hi; since this WikiProject is probably of relevance, I'm assuming someone here would know the answer to the question I had at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Music#Personnel listing on albums. Neo Purgatorio ( talk) 18:19, 18 May 2024 (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)
There is a discussion on RSN about the reliability of Ones To Watch, any input would be helpful (see WP:RSN#Ones To Watch's reliability and use for notability). -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested « @» ° ∆t° 10:15, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
Hello! I'm currently writing an article about R.eal1ze, an album released on January 9, 2017 by Ravi. I'm trying to verify the accuracy of the charting positions of the album. Ravi's main article says that it reached number 8 on the US World Albums chart (Billboard), but I can't verify the source because I don't have a Billboard subscription. I'm extra concerned about the accuracy of the information because the citation on Ravi's main page actually is an archived link from BEFORE the album was released, which means it would be impossible for R.eal1ze to have been on that page because it hadn't been released yet. Can someone with a Billboard subscription please verify or correct this information for me? The link to the chart is [1] https://www.billboard.com/charts/world-albums/ . Thanks!

The appropriate recording categorization (EP or album) for
Infections of a Different Kind (Step 1) is currently being discussed
at the article talk page. Please join the discussion to help form a consensus.

I wrote on the above's talk page [2] 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 [3] 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"?
