Red-lists

These are lists of various notable things, mostly people, without articles. In almost all cases these have articles in other language Wikipedias. This is based on my desire to not aid in the growth of Wikipedia as a whole.--T. Anthony (talk) 08:08, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I cut several names out partly in a fit of pique, but partly because of concerns on notability and it being overlong. Also see Wikipedia:Requested articles/music/Jazz as I moved some to there.--T. Anthony (talk) 17:00, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Music

French jazz musician Sylvain Beuf

Bluegrass, Country, Rockabilly, and Southern Gospel

New Note: Enough has been made on serteneja musicians I listed I'm retiring it for now. However many more red-linked sertenejo can still be found at List of Brazilian musicians#Música sertaneja. pt:Categoria:Música sertaneja can help in finding which are notable.--T.

Far left/Jewish right

See my comments on talk page at Far left/ Not meant personally! Good work at Jewish right, by the way. BobFromBrockley 10:09, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just putting it here to monitor it better.--T. Anthony 16:07, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This list

Yeah, I keep ferreting out peoples' lists of articles to be made and then making them. Bad habit, but it keeps me busy when I'm bored at work. I usually go for the lowest-hanging fruit; the stuff I've done happened to be things that had listings on Allmusic or entries in books I have in the house. Always so much more to do... Chubbles (talk) 03:38, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Most lists I'm making are based on what's in other language Wikipedias so that might also make it relatively easy. Although I use music sources too. Either way thanks, it's nice to see some interest.--T. Anthony (talk) 03:40, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
NB...Zeze hadn't been around; I contested the prod and asked for its restoration at DRV. Chubbles (talk) 06:54, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Cool, good job.--T. Anthony (talk) 07:37, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lists

Clara Rojas was on my Missing Women list and is now on the news section. I doubt my deal had anything to do with the article being created, but still it's neat.--T. Anthony (talk) 06:33, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My copy of your list

I hadn't meant for that to be a fixed list of things that aren't here anymore; it was a worksheet from which I could find things to do. Honestly, you're so good at digging up needed articles that I can't possibly keep up with it, so I'm writing off that list what interests me and what is easy, and then scuttling it. Chubbles (talk) 04:17, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was quite flattered that you'd even bother to tell you the truth. Heck I wondered why I was even doing it. My first motivation might have been residual irritation with English-language Wikipedia. Kind of a way to say "look at all these significant people you ignore." In particular some of the other lists I did have former world-leaders, queen-consorts, founders of moderately large African religions, etc.
Then it just became fun to look through award-winners and people in multiple non-English Wikis. Plus with music I'm interested in old and foreign stuff. I like music that can "take me", in a sense, to eras and places I may never see on my own. In a few cases that has meant including some who were previously deleted, but in my case I do believe in notability standards. I just feel that speedy or prod deletions at times have unfairly taken out older or foreign musicians who actually meet Wikipedia:Notability (music). (Meaning they won a major national award or were bestsellers) In some cases this is because the article was just badly done, but in other cases I think it's frankly that North Americans under age 40 are way dominant so if they haven't heard of it they're likely to just want to toss it. Long ago when I created something on Jutta Hipp it almost got deleted even though there's an award named for in Germany. If I hadn't intervened it may have been deleted.
Anyway I'm rambling, thanks for your interest.--T. Anthony (talk) 06:38, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, that's it. The one thing that gets me more than anything else is when I see other wikipedias having better coverage of American/British/Canadian/Australian/etc. music than the English wiki does. One of these days I'm going to start machine-gunning that US jazz list. Maybe today, even, if I get bored enough. Chubbles (talk) 16:44, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I might be exaggerating the situation due to some annoyances I've had at Wikipedia. Mostly those were over articles about religious figures, but on occasion I'd get "speedy delete" notices on musicians that seemed to clearly meet notability standards. (As in they had a hit on the charts that track their genre or won some prestigious award in it) Still I also find many Spanish musicians that are only in the German Wikipedia for example. Also in a few cases the American musicians might not be in our Wikipedia because they spent much of their adult lives in Europe. That happened in jazz some, although admittedly it didn't happen in country music much so far as I know.--T. Anthony (talk) 00:31, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Many of the country articles are written by an enthusiast named Waylon on the German wiki and User:The yodeling cowboy here. Chubbles (talk) 04:52, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That explains it. I wondered what was going on with that.--T. Anthony (talk) 04:53, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Karin Struck

I think she meets the notability requirements, but the article would be much stronger with a list of her publications and a reference to a review of two. WorldCat is usually a good source for at least the publications. I note that the sourcing in deWP is often scantier than the practice here, & if you are going to take bio articles from there,it might be wise to expand them when appropriate. DGG (talk) 21:30, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

this also applies to a number of other articles; I just noticed Donald Reid Cabral. DGG (talk) 21:43, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I was just going through people who died in 2005 and 2006 looking to see if they were in other Wikipedias. I'll admit I didn't always do a thorough job. I was just intending them as starts with hopes someone knowledgeable on them could expand. Although in the case of Donald Reid Cabral I think he ran a country with several million people, which I'd think would be clear notability.--T. Anthony (talk) 00:09, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And They Call It Bobby Love

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article And They Call It Bobby Love, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
