Hello there, AllMusic has been challenged as a reference on Fade into You: an IP editor claims that this song cannot be classified as "Blues" and gives a music theory reason for it. This is, of course WP:OR but let's assume that the claim has merit; can a better source than AllMusic be found to assert that this song cannot be considered "Blues"? I would imagine that the definition of "Blues" is malleable. Of course to my ears that song couldn't be anything but Blues, but if music theory says it's not, well, who am I to judge?

Editors here may be interested in Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#musicandhistory.com. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:52, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
A couple weeks ago, I had a thought which can be seen in the copy edit tag at the top of the Tiny Desk Concerts page and I figured I should actually ask about it since I just found myself back on that page today only to see no changes regarding it. Basically, every entry in that article's list of episodes includes an external link to the respective concert video from NPR's website. WP:EXTPROMO states that "Adding external links to an article or user page for the purpose of promoting a website or a product is not allowed", leading me to believe this is a clear violation, but I don't wanna jump to conclusions and start wiping every link just yet, in part because there's like a bajillion of 'em and that's a lot of work to do that might just get undone if I'm wrong/someone happens to disagree. So before committing to anything, I come here to confirm/quash my suspicions. QuietHere ( talk) 01:11, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

Looking into Racey and it seems that the original lineup broke up in 1985 and two groups formed in the early 90s. one made up of original guitarist and drummer and the other being made up of the original vocalist and their 1980-85 keyboard player. Neither group is more of a continuation of the original group than the other. How are releases from both versions of the group marked out in the discography section? Do both splits recieve pages?

It's pretty much up to individual editor's discretion on handling at this point. There's been no counterpoint on its reliability in the Wikipedia context. There's nothing keeping anyone from removing it if they want to. But there's also no burden saddled to any one editor either. It's a volunteer project. No one is obligated to get anything done here.

I removed one from
David Bowie (a featured article) earlier today. The claim was "According to Acclaimed Music, he is the fourth most celebrated artist in popular music history", and although it may be true that AM have made this claim; so what? We can't trust the claim they made, only that they made it. Whoop-de-doo! Breaking it down: if I'd published that "[world famous artist] is [any claim you can imagine]" on my personal website and added this fact (that I published this claim) to the artist's article with a reference; should we leave it there when it's revealed that I have zero editorial oversight and everything I publish might be utter drivel? I think not. I will work through them like
a bull in a china shop and feel good about it as I go :)

23:54, 19 January 2023 (UTC)Unreviewed featured articles/2020 (URFA/2020) is a systematic approach to reviewing older Featured articles (FAs) to ensure they still meet the FA standards. A January 2022 Signpost article called "Forgotten Featured" explored the effort.
Progress is recorded at the monthly stats page. Through 2022, with 4,526 very old (from the 2004–2009 period) and old (2010–2015) FAs initially needing review:
Of the FAs kept, deemed satisfactory by three reviewers, or delisted, about 60% had prior review between 2004 and 2007; another 20% dated to the period from 2008–2009; and another 20% to 2010–2015. Roughly two-thirds of the old FAs reviewed have retained FA status or been marked "satisfactory", while two-thirds of the very old FAs have been defeatured.
Entering its third year, URFA is working to help maintain FA standards; FAs are being restored not only via FAR, but also via improvements initiated after articles are reviewed and talk pages are noticed. Since the Featured Article Save Award (FASA) was added to the FAR process a year ago, 38 FAs were restored to FA status by editors other than the original FAC nominator. Ten FAs restored to status have been listed at WP:MILLION, recognizing articles with annual readership over a million pageviews, and many have been rerun as Today's featured article, helping increase mainpage diversity.
|
All received a
Million Award
|
But there remain almost 4,000 old and very old FAs to be reviewed. Some topic areas and WikiProjects have been more proactive than others in restoring or maintaining their old FAs. As seen in the chart below, the following have very high ratios of FAs kept to those delisted (ordered from highest ratio):
and others have a good ratio of kept to delisted FAs:
... so kudos to those editors who pitched in to help maintain older FAs !

But looking only at the oldest FAs (from the 2004–2007 period), there are 12 content areas with more than 20 FAs still needing review: Biology, Music, Royalty and nobility, Media, Sport and recreation, History, Warfare, Meteorology, Physics and astronomy, Literature and theatre, Video gaming, and Geography and places. In the coming weeks, URFA/2020 editors will be posting lists to individual WikiProjects with the goal of getting these oldest-of-the-old FAs reviewed during 2023.
Ideas for how you can help are listed below and at the Signpost article.
More regular URFA and FAR reviewers will help assure that FAs continue to represent examples of Wikipedia's best work. If you have any questions or feedback, please visit Wikipedia talk:Unreviewed featured articles/2020/4Q2022.
If you review an article on this list, please add commentary at the article talk page, with a section heading == [[URFA/2020]] review== and also add either Notes or Noticed to WP:URFA/2020A, per the instructions at WP:URFA/2020. Comments added here may be swept up in archives and lost, and more editors will see comments on article talk.

Hello everyone! Sorry in advance if I'm writing this message in the wrong place, but I just wanted to make a needed call to action... : D
Is anyone able to help tidy up the article? It's been nominated for ITN, due to the artist's recent passing, but several issues, most notably the disorganization and lack of sourcing throughout the "Discography" section, are still holding it back from being accepted...

Hello! I'm writing an article about a music producer/songwriter. It just so happens to be my first article from scratch, so errors inbound. I've currently put the article in draftspace, due to the (relative?) lack of sources: Draft:Patricia Taxxon.

Any help or feedback of any kind is appreciated, even if the improvements aren't enough to make the article mainspace-level. I also have some questions:

I was about to post this at the musical notability guideline talk page, but it doesn't have much discussion. So my question is whether there should be some provision for musical notability for, and thus for an article about, an album that has a cult following. In looking at the current guideline for recordings, it appears that #1 and #7 may apply if the cult following has been documented in print or broadcast. Can something be added to advise submitters that they should document the existence of the cult following?
I have a specific album in mind, which is sort of a problem because the ultras who belong to the cult and want an article on the cult classic try to game the system and sneak an article in, rather than taking advice about how to satisfy the guidelines properly. But my question is about whether the guidelines can be clarified. Robert McClenon ( talk) 19:32, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
I have listed it with all of those forms because articles are created with all of those forms in order to game the names. The first form is a locked redirect to the duo. I am inclined to think that if its fans are so passionate about it, there must be some documentation. However, this album, like a few web sites and a few actresses, is likely never to have a Wikipedia article, because of the misconduct of its supporters.

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at
Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent
Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class=
parameter to {{
WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{ WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{
WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom
parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

Is there any policy or guidance on the standard approach to provide an English translation of foreign lyrics?

If we must use an existing translation, what quality of source is required? What about the WikiSource translation: that is of course CC-by-SA, but what is the reply to the charge that it is "amateur work" with "no translator identified": is a professional translation actually a requirement, and if so, where is that stated in policy?

An article about a song should provide information about authorship, date of publication, social impact, and so on. Quotations from a song should be kept to a reasonable length relative to the rest of the article, and used to facilitate discussion, or to illustrate the style; the full text can be put on Wikisource and linked from the article. Most song lyrics published after 1928 are protected by copyright; any quotation of them must be kept to a minimum, and used for direct commentary or to illustrate some aspect of style.

On the page NewJeans, there is dispute about whether a K-pop group with non Korean members can be simply described as a "South Korean" group. In the case of New Jeans, a quintet, there are 3 South Korean and 2 Australian performers, under a South Korean music label. My argument is that it's a K-pop group, rather than a South Korean group. My phrasing was "... K-pop group formed in South Korea". The other view is that all K-pop groups are South Korean groups, because all Wikipedia articles about K-pop groups must be phrased the same. I find such a view is misleading to the reader. My edit is not described as misleading, but it has been repeatedly reverted. Another group with more Japanese and American members than Koreans, but is it simply a "South Korean group". Here, I put this reasonable question to a wider audience. Examples of multinational-membered groups include:
* The_Band * Fleetwood Mac * Stereolab
It is not intended to describe NewJeans as being from two countries, but to specify what aspect is South Korean, and to include the useful descriptor K-pop. Regards Travelmite ( talk) 12:36, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

How exactly does one verify setlists in articles about concerts/tours when it wasn't supported by any inline sources nor does a search bring up any reliable sources suitable for use here? And yet, the setlists is seemingly continuously updated by EC editors to IPs in which neither groups are bothered to provide sources nor do I see anyone policing on such which is rather unusual since we would normally revert unsourced materials. For whatever weird reasons, I would see unsourced materials policing on other areas of the same article like on the Tour date's table, the same doesn't applies to the setlist section as if VERIFY doesn't applies to that section even when added by IPs and newly registered editors (of course AGF) but who would know if the informations added is real or fake other than those that attended the concerts and/or have knowledge from whatever sources (I'm assuming social media since RS is non-existence) that they have obtain such. What is even more absurd is the inclusion of notes that mentions this and that songs wasn't performed on so and so dates/cities which is of course unsourced. I'm speaking on the context of popoular K-pop's artists (I'm not going to provide any examples for neutrality and to avoid any unwanted outside attention) since I only edits on these areas, not sure if this is the "norm" for other popular non-K-pop artists as I got mixbag of results (at least all of the FA and majority of GA are well sourced for that section) when searching around as I also saw unsourced setlists and notes on even GA ones (which is unexpected) with B and below are expected to be incomplete. To me, this falls under NOT and OR and goes against VERIFY, and I believed something should be done. — Paper9oll ( 🔔 • 📝) 13:56, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi, Project experts.
Stumbled upon the article for Australian Bianca Moon a couple days ago. Did lots of cleanup (very short article, but needed work), including the addition of a long missing (9 years) reference and clarification regarding her nomination for a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Original Song for a Drama Series.
The article has had a Notability (music) hatnote since 2011. The Emmy nomination came in 2013, the proper reference was added yesterday.
A criterion at the Wikipedia:Notability (music) page says: "Has won or been nominated for a major music award, such as (my emphasis) a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award."
Does the Emmy nomination provide enough weight to remove the Notability hatnote? If not, should this article be tagged for deletion? (her next biggest notability was a "nomination, to be nominated" for an award in Australia).
Thanks for your guidance. Jmg38 ( talk) 23:48, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
Hello. I would like to talk about the major standards of music competition, no. 9 of this section. For example, if it's a really famous competition like Eurovision, of course no one would doubt it, but in the case of less famous competitions, it doesn't say exactly what part of this competition it covers.
This is what I'm talking about in the Decadent (band) deletion debate because I explained EBS Hello Rookie Contest is a major competition, and another user expressed it wasn't. I said about this competition, "It was hosted by national institutions, broadcasted by major broadcasters, and proved its influence and reputation in the South Korea through reliable sources every year in the article," but I think I made this article (EBS Hello Rookie Contest) for the first time and didn't convince another user.
Regarding this, I would like to ask ro you think this competition is a major competition. Of course I definitely think this is a major competition, but it's because other people might think differently. And if not, I'd like to ask about the standards of "major competition". 올해의수상자 ( talk) 02:45, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
I don't know if this is the correct place to post this, but I am posting it here because this seems to be the place that can draw attention to the largest number of people with absolute pitch.
I recently found that someone has been relying on a certain website to add keys of songs to various articles. But as someone who has absolute pitch, I can tell that the website is not always correct. However, that person (who does not seem to have absolute pitch) is not convinced and is still trusting that website.

Had a thought just now that since Lizzo was the supporting act for most of Haim's Sister Sister Sister Tour, it might not be entirely inappropriate to include the article in Category:Lizzo concert tours. Do we thing categorization should be reserved to lead acts only, or is anyone else open to this? Obviously we would treat it like Category:Albums by producer where the cat should only be included if they worked on a significant portion, e.g. Lizzo's three dates supporting Florence and the Machine on the High as Hope Tour should not earn the category.

I'm not a music specialist but have ended up fretting about the sourcing of Lithuanian folk music, created in 2018 with just the one reference "Cronshaw, pgs. 22 – 23", which has still been its only ref until I added another today. The article was created by a now-indef-blocked editor. It looks as if the source might refer to the single "Reference" in Music of Lithuania, "Cronshaw, Andrew (2000). "Singing Revolutions". In Broughton, Simon; Ellingham, Mark; McConnachie, James; Duane, Orla (eds.). World Music, Vol. 1: Africa, Europe and the Middle East. London: Rough Guides. pp. 16–24. ISBN 1-85828-636-0.", which was there in 2018 and is there today (along with plenty of other references under "Notes"), but that ISBN now seems to belong to Rough Guide to World Music vol2, which doesn't cover Europe, and pages 16-24 of which are about Australia. Has anyone got a copy of Rough Guide to World Music vol1, and could check whether the ref actually makes sense as 16-24 of that, and how much of this article it actually sources? If so, please clarify the ref appropriately. Thanks.
There I was, working through a list of women archaeologists checking that they had all necessary incoming redirects or surname list entries, for WP:WIR-301, but Jehane Ragai led me down this rabbit-hole into trying to disentangle what we knew about "ragai" as a musical instrument (or instruments?). The answer was "nothing except its existence", and the same, as far as I can see, in Lithuanian Wiki, but I found a source which did actually have a paragraph about Ragai and similar amounts about other wind instruments, so I added it, with a quote, at the top of the section Lithuanian folk music#Instruments. (And meanwhile, boxes from a house move 6 months ago remain un-unpacked.) Pam D 17:10, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello, WikiProject members,
I was reviewing expiring drafts (CSD G13s) and came across this one for a musical instrument I had never heard of and of which the English Wikipedia has no coverage. The draft creator supplied some sources that look promising and so I postponed its deletion. I think, at the least, there is a stub article here. I went to Wikipedia:WikiProject Musical Instruments to see if anyone would like to work on this draft but that WikiProject looks dormant so I came here, hoping that an editor experienced in content creation might take it on as a project.

Hello there, AllMusic has been challenged as a reference on Fade into You: an IP editor claims that this song cannot be classified as "Blues" and gives a music theory reason for it. This is, of course WP:OR but let's assume that the claim has merit; can a better source than AllMusic be found to assert that this song cannot be considered "Blues"? I would imagine that the definition of "Blues" is malleable. Of course to my ears that song couldn't be anything but Blues, but if music theory says it's not, well, who am I to judge?

A couple weeks ago, I had a thought which can be seen in the copy edit tag at the top of the Tiny Desk Concerts page and I figured I should actually ask about it since I just found myself back on that page today only to see no changes regarding it. Basically, every entry in that article's list of episodes includes an external link to the respective concert video from NPR's website. WP:EXTPROMO states that "Adding external links to an article or user page for the purpose of promoting a website or a product is not allowed", leading me to believe this is a clear violation, but I don't wanna jump to conclusions and start wiping every link just yet, in part because there's like a bajillion of 'em and that's a lot of work to do that might just get undone if I'm wrong/someone happens to disagree. So before committing to anything, I come here to confirm/quash my suspicions. QuietHere ( talk) 01:11, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

Looking into Racey and it seems that the original lineup broke up in 1985 and two groups formed in the early 90s. one made up of original guitarist and drummer and the other being made up of the original vocalist and their 1980-85 keyboard player.

It's pretty much up to individual editor's discretion on handling at this point. There's been no counterpoint on its reliability in the Wikipedia context.

I removed one from
David Bowie (a featured article) earlier today. The claim was "According to Acclaimed Music, he is the fourth most celebrated artist in popular music history", and although it may be true that AM have made this claim; so what? We can't trust the claim they made, only that they made it. Whoop-de-doo! Breaking it down: if I'd published that "[world famous artist] is [any claim you can imagine]" on my personal website and added this fact (that I published this claim) to the artist's article with a reference; should we leave it there when it's revealed that I have zero editorial oversight and everything I publish might be utter drivel? I think not. I will work through them like

23:54, 19 January 2023 (UTC)Unreviewed featured articles/2020 (URFA/2020) is a systematic approach to reviewing older Featured articles (FAs) to ensure they still meet the FA standards. A January 2022 Signpost article called "Forgotten Featured" explored the effort.
Progress is recorded at the monthly stats page. Through 2022, with 4,526 very old (from the 2004–2009 period) and old (2010–2015) FAs initially needing review:
Of the FAs kept, deemed satisfactory by three reviewers, or delisted, about 60% had prior review between 2004 and 2007; another 20% dated to the period from 2008–2009; and another 20% to 2010–2015. Roughly two-thirds of the old FAs reviewed have retained FA status or been marked "satisfactory", while two-thirds of the very old FAs have been defeatured.
Entering its third year, URFA is working to help maintain FA standards; FAs are being restored not only via FAR, but also via improvements initiated after articles are reviewed and talk pages are noticed. Since the Featured Article Save Award (FASA) was added to the FAR process a year ago, 38 FAs were restored to FA status by editors other than the original FAC nominator. Ten FAs restored to status have been listed at WP:MILLION, recognizing articles with annual readership over a million pageviews, and many have been rerun as Today's featured article, helping increase mainpage diversity.
|
All received a
Million Award
|
But there remain almost 4,000 old and very old FAs to be reviewed. Some topic areas and WikiProjects have been more proactive than others in restoring or maintaining their old FAs. As seen in the chart below, the following have very high ratios of FAs kept to those delisted (ordered from highest ratio):
and others have a good ratio of kept to delisted FAs:
... so kudos to those editors who pitched in to help maintain older FAs !

But looking only at the oldest FAs (from the 2004–2007 period), there are 12 content areas with more than 20 FAs still needing review: Biology, Music, Royalty and nobility, Media, Sport and recreation, History, Warfare, Meteorology, Physics and astronomy, Literature and theatre, Video gaming, and Geography and places. In the coming weeks, URFA/2020 editors will be posting lists to individual WikiProjects with the goal of getting these oldest-of-the-old FAs reviewed during 2023.
Ideas for how you can help are listed below and at the Signpost article.
More regular URFA and FAR reviewers will help assure that FAs continue to represent examples of Wikipedia's best work. If you have any questions or feedback, please visit Wikipedia talk:Unreviewed featured articles/2020/4Q2022.
If you review an article on this list, please add commentary at the article talk page, with a section heading == [[URFA/2020]] review== and also add either Notes or Noticed to WP:URFA/2020A, per the instructions at WP:URFA/2020.

I was about to post this at the musical notability guideline talk page, but it doesn't have much discussion. So my question is whether there should be some provision for musical notability for, and thus for an article about, an album that has a cult following. In looking at the current guideline for recordings, it appears that #1 and #7 may apply if the cult following has been documented in print or broadcast. Can something be added to advise submitters that they should document the existence of the cult following?
I have a specific album in mind, which is sort of a problem because the ultras who belong to the cult and want an article on the cult classic try to game the system and sneak an article in, rather than taking advice about how to satisfy the guidelines properly. But my question is about whether the guidelines can be clarified. Robert McClenon ( talk) 19:32, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
I have listed it with all of those forms because articles are created with all of those forms in order to game the names. The first form is a locked redirect to the duo. I am inclined to think that if its fans are so passionate about it, there must be some documentation. However, this album, like a few web sites and a few actresses, is likely never to have a Wikipedia article, because of the misconduct of its supporters.

Hello! I created an article for Elkie Books's song "
No More the Fool" and nominated it for the DYK. But strangely I haven't been able to find many sources on the song online... I have searched the whole of Google and not found much. Could you help, please? (And I have hit some sort of a writer's block...)
And we perhaps need a better hook. (Isn't Kim Wilde famous? I thought it was interesting that this song was originally written for her. But the reviewer disagrees. Can it be that she is big over here in Europe and not so much in the U.S.?) --

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at
Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent
Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class=
parameter to {{
WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{ WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{
WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom
parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

If we must use an existing translation, what quality of source is required?

An article about a song should provide information about authorship, date of publication, social impact, and so on. Quotations from a song should be kept to a reasonable length relative to the rest of the article, and used to facilitate discussion, or to illustrate the style; the full text can be put on Wikisource and linked from the article. Most song lyrics published after 1928 are protected by copyright; any quotation of them must be kept to a minimum, and used for direct commentary or to illustrate some aspect of style.

On the page NewJeans, there is dispute about whether a K-pop group with non Korean members can be simply described as a "South Korean" group. In the case of New Jeans, a quintet, there are 3 South Korean and 2 Australian performers, under a South Korean music label. My argument is that it's a K-pop group, rather than a South Korean group. My phrasing was "... K-pop group formed in South Korea". The other view is that all K-pop groups are South Korean groups, because all Wikipedia articles about K-pop groups must be phrased the same. I find such a view is misleading to the reader. My edit is not described as misleading, but it has been repeatedly reverted. Another group with more Japanese and American members than Koreans, but is it simply a "South Korean group". Here, I put this reasonable question to a wider audience. Examples of multinational-membered groups include:
* The_Band * Fleetwood Mac * Stereolab
It is not intended to describe NewJeans as being from two countries, but to specify what aspect is South Korean, and to include the useful descriptor K-pop. Regards Travelmite ( talk) 12:36, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

How exactly does one verify setlists in articles about concerts/tours when it wasn't supported by any inline sources nor does a search bring up any reliable sources suitable for use here? And yet, the setlists is seemingly continuously updated by EC editors to IPs in which neither groups are bothered to provide sources nor do I see anyone policing on such which is rather unusual since we would normally revert unsourced materials. For whatever weird reasons, I would see unsourced materials policing on other areas of the same article like on the Tour date's table, the same doesn't applies to the setlist section as if VERIFY doesn't applies to that section even when added by IPs and newly registered editors (of course AGF) but who would know if the informations added is real or fake other than those that attended the concerts and/or have knowledge from whatever sources (I'm assuming social media since RS is non-existence) that they have obtain such. What is even more absurd is the inclusion of notes that mentions this and that songs wasn't performed on so and so dates/cities which is of course unsourced. I'm speaking on the context of popoular K-pop's artists (I'm not going to provide any examples for neutrality and to avoid any unwanted outside attention) since I only edits on these areas, not sure if this is the "norm" for other popular non-K-pop artists as I got mixbag of results (at least all of the FA and majority of GA are well sourced for that section) when searching around as I also saw unsourced setlists and notes on even GA ones (which is unexpected) with B and below are expected to be incomplete. To me, this falls under NOT and OR and goes against VERIFY, and I believed something should be done. — Paper9oll ( 🔔 • 📝) 13:56, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi, Project experts.
Stumbled upon the article for Australian Bianca Moon a couple days ago. Did lots of cleanup (very short article, but needed work), including the addition of a long missing (9 years) reference and clarification regarding her nomination for a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Original Song for a Drama Series.
The article has had a Notability (music) hatnote since 2011. The Emmy nomination came in 2013, the proper reference was added yesterday.
A criterion at the Wikipedia:Notability (music) page says: "Has won or been nominated for a major music award, such as (my emphasis) a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award."
Does the Emmy nomination provide enough weight to remove the Notability hatnote? If not, should this article be tagged for deletion? (her next biggest notability was a "nomination, to be nominated" for an award in Australia).
Thanks for your guidance. Jmg38 ( talk) 23:48, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
Hello. I would like to talk about the major standards of music competition, no. 9 of this section. For example, if it's a really famous competition like Eurovision, of course no one would doubt it, but in the case of less famous competitions, it doesn't say exactly what part of this competition it covers.
This is what I'm talking about in the Decadent (band) deletion debate because I explained EBS Hello Rookie Contest is a major competition, and another user expressed it wasn't. I said about this competition, "It was hosted by national institutions, broadcasted by major broadcasters, and proved its influence and reputation in the South Korea through reliable sources every year in the article," but I think I made this article (EBS Hello Rookie Contest) for the first time and didn't convince another user.
Regarding this, I would like to ask ro you think this competition is a major competition. Of course I definitely think this is a major competition, but it's because other people might think differently. And if not, I'd like to ask about the standards of "major competition". 올해의수상자 ( talk) 02:45, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

Had a thought just now that since Lizzo was the supporting act for most of Haim's Sister Sister Sister Tour, it might not be entirely inappropriate to include the article in Category:Lizzo concert tours. Do we thing categorization should be reserved to lead acts only, or is anyone else open to this? Obviously we would treat it like Category:Albums by producer where the cat should only be included if they worked on a significant portion, e.g. Lizzo's three dates supporting Florence and the Machine on the High as Hope Tour should not earn the category.

I'm not a music specialist but have ended up fretting about the sourcing of Lithuanian folk music, created in 2018 with just the one reference "Cronshaw, pgs. 22 – 23", which has still been its only ref until I added another today. The article was created by a now-indef-blocked editor. It looks as if the source might refer to the single "Reference" in Music of Lithuania, "Cronshaw, Andrew (2000). "Singing Revolutions". In Broughton, Simon; Ellingham, Mark; McConnachie, James; Duane, Orla (eds.). World Music, Vol. 1: Africa, Europe and the Middle East. London: Rough Guides. pp. 16–24. ISBN 1-85828-636-0.", which was there in 2018 and is there today (along with plenty of other references under "Notes"), but that ISBN now seems to belong to Rough Guide to World Music vol2, which doesn't cover Europe, and pages 16-24 of which are about Australia. Has anyone got a copy of Rough Guide to World Music vol1, and could check whether the ref actually makes sense as 16-24 of that, and how much of this article it actually sources? If so, please clarify the ref appropriately. Thanks.

The answer was "nothing except its existence", and the same, as far as I can see, in Lithuanian Wiki, but I found a source which did actually have a paragraph about Ragai and similar amounts about other wind instruments, so I added it, with a quote, at the top of the section Lithuanian folk music#Instruments.
