Tour comments

If you are good with understanding concert and tour notability requirements, I beg of you to comment on some of the other tours listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Korea. We have a lack of quality commenters on them who can cite policy, and it's getting worse. There is so much anger and resistance to any attempt to remove anything related to kpop. Here's a handy list, if you're so inclined:

Flor Silvestre albums

Why are you redirecting most of the articles of Flor Silvestre's albums? They are notable and contained many successful songs; that's why I created those articles. I was also planning to find verifiable references about those albums and their songs. Please, let me undo your changes so that I can add verifiable references about their notability (I'll wait for your reply). Thank you. --V. Villalvaso 20:33, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

It is best to create such articles in your userspace or sandbox first (such as User:OsotedeMonte/Flor Silvestre con el Mariachi México), find the required references, then add the articles to the encyclopedia. Just be sure your references come from reliable sources (not eBay or a site that only shows a photo of the album). Good luck. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 21:58, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

Hooked on Classics

A couple of things - I don't think Hooked on Classics 1 should be marked as "low" priority. It was on the charts for a length of time, and given its ubiquitous placement in flea markets, thrift stores, and dollar bins, any album collector is familiar with it. I was going to contest the speedy of HOC 4, it has an AllMusic entry and all, but on the whole I think you're right (I've *never* seen a copy), but rather than deletion I would suggest a re-direct to Hooked on Classics (series). Thanks! 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 16:31, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

  • An Allmusic listing without even a tracklist, much less a review, means nothing. But the assessment should remain low unless/until its importance is emphasized/verified in the article by reliable sources. No album should have higher than a "Low"-importance assessment if there are no references listed. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 16:36, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
    • I have a cordial difference of opinion, perhaps. The Albums importance scale mentions likelihood of readers being familiar with the subject, and the likelyhood of there being reliable secondary sources. In this instance, I think both are higher than a "low" priority would indicate. (not to mention the absolute lack of current sources, I'll try to fix that a little bit... in a little bit). Anyway, thanks for the reply, and even more thanks for all the hard work you do around here which mostly goes unrecognized. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 16:47, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Bad. It's either a unnecessary subdivision of Category:Songs by artist or will lead to overcategorization if one decides to include later compilations as well. One will already be able to link from every song from the album article plus the ones that have been created already have a multipe album templates (e.g. {{The Dark Side of the Moon}} and {{The Dark Side of the Moon tracks}}) in each song article that aid in this type of navigation. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 20:27, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

Songs by theme categories

I'm thinking of recreating the Category:Songs about rain, or perhaps at least Category:Songs about weather. I'm curious as to what makes one Category:Songs by theme category notable and another not notable. I'd bet that if I looked sufficiently thoroughly I could find a publication discussing songs about rain. Thoughts? - Bossanoven (talk) 01:52, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

The problem with such a category is that one ends up putting articles in there simply because a song has "rain" in the category even though the song only uses rain as an allegory rather than truly being about rain. Note that List of songs about rain was also deleted, so I'm not sure a recreation of the category will fly. I recommend talking to some people who participated in those discussions. Thanks. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 15:03, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your addition. You could have just asked me to source it if you wanted one, though, I am referring to reliable sources for these additions. Regards, - Bossanoven (talk) 05:11, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Understood. Problem is, today's Bubbling Under Chart isn't truly an extension of the Hot 100, so saying something reached 105 isn't accurate because songs can't fall back into the Bubbling Under chart once they've hit the Hot 100. You can say it peaked at No. 5 on the Bubbling Under the Hot 100 chart. I don't know what the rules were back in 1967, so I wanted to provide a link to the primary source to indicate that is how Billboard itself displayed the info, as opposed to say a Joel Whitburn book or the like. Thanks. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 05:19, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Hello, SCSNLW (1st letters of each word) I was wondering why you agreed to delete my article on 7 Horns 7 Eyes (Self-titled EP). It is notable because its line-up contains the original vocalist, drummer, and guitarist. It also dates their first release. Metalworker14 (talk) 1:59 P.M. 02/25/2015

Fathom That/Fools Dance

Hi, First off, I saw that you redirected the Fathom That article that I started back to Peace and Silence a couple weeks ago. I totally understand why you did it. I got no problem with that. I went ahead and restored the album details to the Peace and Silence article, which was what I had originally done before starting a separate article. Even though I've had separate articles for Fools Dance (EP) and They'll Never Know for years now, I'm thinking at some point maybe I should just redirect those back to the band page and incorporate the details for those two mini-albums with that like I've done with Fathom That by Peace and Silence. When you have a moment, I was wondering if you would care to take a look at what I've done with Peace and Silence and give me your .02 on how it looks. Any suggestions as to what I should do with the Fools Dance pages would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. :) Shaneymike (talk) 02:53, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Question

I haven't done a lot of work on categories, I'm curious as to why you are deleting Hard rock songs from a large number of music articles. If you have time to explain i'd appreciate it. Best wishes Flat Out let's discuss it 11:10, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

  • Per WP:SUBCAT, a page should rarely be placed in both a category and a subcategory or parent category (supercategory) of that category. For example, the article "Highway to Hell (song)" need only be placed in "Category:AC/DC songs", not in both "Category:AC/DC songs" and "Category:Hard rock songs". Since the first category (AC/DC songs) is in the second category (hard rock songs), readers are already given the information that "Highway to Hellj" is a hard rock song by it being an AC/DC song. In another way of looking at it, when I go to Category:Hard rock songs, if every article was categorized by a genre, there'd be 1000s of articles in this category without any connection to the title and the artist (unless disambiguated in the title), but diffusion by artist, allows me to easier navigate to songs by other hard rock music groups, such as Category:Def Leppard songs or Category:Kiss (band) songs. This way of categorizing is also recommended by the WikiProject for songs. Some IPs late last year attempted to overcategorize many song articles by every genre listed in their infoboxes when, in most cases, those genre categories are already a parent to the artist's song category, and I have been attempting to clean that up. Thanks. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 15:31, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
Excellent! Thanks, I appreciate it. Flat Out let's discuss it 22:38, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

Official Album Streaming Chart

I don't see why it should be deleted as it is a brand new chart which has only just been launched and it is part of the UK charts like UK Singles Chart and UK Albums Chart for example. In the coming weeks, that list will expand as more albums top the streaming chart. Deleting this would be like deleting every other chart which is a part of OCC.

Except most of those other charts you can find coverage in reliable 3rd party sources. If you think the article should exist, you should take your complaint to deletion review. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 17:42, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

Fallen Angel (Versailles Suicide EP)

Hello I am writing to find out why you feel the Demo Album of this band should be deleted and redirected. Sources have been sited on the page. Seriously I would like to know your reason. Please give me some help rather than just continuing to redirect. Thank you. "Fails" is not a valid response when referring to citiations perhaps contributing would be more helpful. User:Tinylittlebird (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 21:43, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

  • I redirected it two months ago and never requested deletion. However, the only source I see is a primary source, which hardly establishes notability for this EP, so I added a notability tag. And I didn't say the album fails, I said the album fails the notability requirements of established guidelines of Wikipedia. You may want to read them yourself. Thank you. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 21:51, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
  • Songs from a Dead City There are other bands listed on wikipedia who have demo CD's with only 1 Ref that is a primary source, here is an example. I don't see how that is any different. It seems as though you have something personal against this band. You have redirected all the pages no matter how many sources have been listed. (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 22:34, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
    • The redirects were mostly done by another user, but you haven't contacted them. I surely don't have anything against this band since I've only heard of them because of Wikipedia. I also have never come across that article you mention, so how would I know it even exists in order to redirect it, but you're probably right - it also doesn't meet notability requirements. When articles are redirected, you are free to revert the redirects, but if reliable sources cannot be found, it's possible it might be taken to WP:AFD, where the community will come to a consensus on whether the article should remain or be deleted. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 22:52, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

Categories

Hey, can you explain these: Category:As It Is albums, Category:As It Is (band) albums. One of them should be deleted. I can see by other similar categories that the "(band)" version is used a lot but it doesn't make any sense to me since non-bands do not tend to publish albums so the "disambiguation" seems unnecessary. This seems like a bigger problem, may we should take it to some talk page like Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums? :/ — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 15:21, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

  • I tend to agree but because of the ambiguity and because of precedent through numerous category for discussion debates, it has become common practice to simply match the category with the name of the article for that music artist. It has become so common, these changes have become "speediable" under Wikipedia:Categories for discussion#Speedy renaming and merging. For example, Category:New Model Army (band) albums was moved from Category:New Model Army albums over a year ago following a speedy request. I doubt anyone would think that the New Model Army would have released any albums, but it has become the convention for naming such categories. I encourage you to continue this discussion and express your concerns on this matter at the WikiProject. Thanks. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 15:54, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Rating vs. Review

Thanks so much for your ongoing series of fixes on the Vitro album articles. As it happens, one of the most glaring and recurrent of these - i.e. distinguishing Allmusic ratings from reviews (at least in terms of authorship) - is of particular interest to me, in that an undeniable and all too frequently observed disparity btw the two has long been a source of puzzlement to me (naively, perhaps, assuming that one provides the rationale for the other) - especially as I've never seen any corresponding disclaimer attached to either.

In any event, your claim is presented so authoritatively that I couldn't help wondering if you might not be affiliated with Rovi/AM yourself, or at least know someone who is/was. If so (or if you have some other source unknown to me), please enlighten me as to how, and in what order, the AM ratings and reviews come to be. Armed with such knowledge, I would be more than happy to clean up after my own 'mess' at any number of previously created pages, and, better still, to avoid such tedium for all concerned, going forward. Thanks again for your work. DavidESpeed (talk) 22:04, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

  • I have no connection to Rovi or AllMusic. The FAQ page on AllMusic implies that their editors rate the albums, not those who review the albums. It even suggests ratings can change overtime, while the review will stay the same. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 22:39, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

So Fresh?

Ok, I apologize if I sound a little steamed here, but why re-direct "So Fresh: The Hits of Autumn 2014"? If that had to be re-directed, than all of the other "So Fresh" albums should be re-directed due to them being as notable, or less notable than this album. And why just this certain album? And no, I'm not doing the whole other stuff exists shtick. Just asking as to why? Shall we keep that one available? Or shall we re-direct the whole album series? - ilovechristianmusic (Talk to me!) 21:10, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

You agree they should be redirected but you create another article for another volume that has no more notability than any other. Many others have been redirected but often get reverted back to articles by editwarring IPs who want them to stay. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 04:49, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
No, I agree that if one album that is as/more (I say this because some albums in the series have no references.) notable as this certain album is re-directed, then the series should be re-directed. And to answer you, I wouldn't have created the article if I would have known it would have been re-directed. No one else seemed to have a problem with the past articles I created. Again, why did you re-direct this certain album out of the series that is as much notable than the rest? One more question for you. What would you think if we re-directed the series back to the "So Fresh" page, and added a reference to a retailer such as iTunes or Sanity to show release date/tracklisting to avoid any more conflict? Thank you for your time. ilovechristianmusic (Talk to me!) 10:31, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
None of the individual volumes are truly notable, so why create something that isn't notable just because you see articles exist for other non-notable albums? If you look at the edit history of So Fresh: The Hits of Winter 2012, you'll see I have attempted to redirect other volumes of the series going back over a year ago. IPs revert it and I'm not going to get in an edit war with them. You'll notice that some of these pages end up getting protected because of those IPs. So the best thing to do is to stop creating more of these articles unless notability (ie. "significant coverage in multiple reliable sources") can be established. A link solely to an iTunes listing for each volume on the main page will just make the page just as bad as the NOW discography page, which also should be completely revamped. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 16:25, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
I didn't look back that far. I won't be making any more of the "So Fresh" album pages. I understand completely now. I do agree with you about the NOW discography page. Thank you for all of your help. ilovechristianmusic (Talk to me!) 13:53, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Hello My Name Is (album)

 

A tag has been placed on Hello My Name Is (album) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either

  • disambiguates two or fewer extant Wikipedia pages and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
  • disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Fitnr 18:26, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars, thankyou for recently deleting wikiproject songs from the above article's talkpage with the comment "book". The reason i added wikiproject songs was the article also discusses an album based on the book, see Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. (There was a separate article but it was merged.) I have now added wikiproject album instead, hope this is okay. Coolabahapple (talk) 06:37, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

User:Besmircher

Hi there, I'm not sure there is anything that can be done here either. However, after repeating myself over-and-over again in edit summaries, he has now started putting song titles in quotations, so anything is possible. I have repeatedly mentioned about checking to see if his links are correct before saving, but he's still adding wrong links everywhere. I'm more concerned about the statement[3] he left on his talk page in reply to comments you left there. He seems to think it's ok to add his observations to articles.

Heavy Crown

Hi, I just expanded Heavy Crown (song), how's it looking now? Azealia911 talk 02:59, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your recent edit to the page, but when I asked how it looked, I meant in the context of weather it passed notability, due to the notice you placed on the page. It features multiple third-party sources, and passes point one of WP:NSONGS. Azealia911 talk 03:08, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

  • I understand what you were asking. I was only making an additional edit that required revision. Typically, songs that are mentioned in the context of reviews for the whole album are best merged and redirected to the album. It's a decent stub for now and I'll check on it again in a few days before removing the notability tag myself. It could be helpful to include some not-so-positive reviews as it is doubtful that the song has received universally glowing reviews. Thanks. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 03:15, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

It Sure Was Good

The song is notable precisely for the relationship between the Jones and Wynette. The contradiction between the song and their personal relationship makes it significant.

Chart succession boxes

I've been adding succession boxes to denote the UK #1 single at any given time. However, you keep deleting them and say "you need a consensus".

Check the Official Chart Company's website for yourself! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 00sClassicGamerFan (talkcontribs) 21:19, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

If you want to know what order songs became number one in the UK, please go to List of UK Singles Chart number ones of the 2010s. You don't need a link from one #1 song to another #1 song that are completely unrelated to each other in any other way. If you do UK, you have to US, and France, and Australia, and Japan, and then you end up with this. Due to the discussion on succession boxes in song and albums, this is what people do now. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 22:15, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

Rookie (Sakanaction song) review

Hi there! I think you forgot to put = y next to the criteria on Talk:Rookie (Sakanaction song), since without them it's showing up as a C. Could you take another quick look? Sorry! --Prosperosity (talk) 07:28, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

Yes, someone has to put a Y next to the criteria in order for it to show up as a B for the Songs project. I didn't confirm the sources myself, so it would be inappropriate for me to add Ys to it, but since the Songs project ensures that must be done first, it can stay C-class until someone does that part. Thanks. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 14:40, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the cleanup on this. I also believe you did some work on another album I recently posted. Thanks again.--CNMall41 (talk) 02:40, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you so, so much for reverting my edit on Now That's What I Call Music! 91! I always thought repeating the album title in the tracklisting was unnecessary, but another editor kept giving me "warnings" and brought in their editor friends that agreed that it was necessary, so I edited like that to avoid the hassle. Another editor told me that it wasn't necessary, and now you've confirmed it for me. So thank you so much for confirming that for me! ilovechristianmusic (Tell Me Something!) 3:59, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

The Four Men: a Farrago not part of songs project?

Hi Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars, sorry, I added the songs project as the book contains a drinking song and talks of singing (amongst other things). But its cool if it is deemed not relevant to the project. (I sometimes get carried away with adding projects, the more the merrier?)  Coolabahapple (talk) 03:25, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Maybe it's my own personal feeling, but I don't think articles that have a relationship with a song or songs shouldn't be part of the Songs WikiProject. That would suggest all music albums and movie musicals should be part of the project as well. Same thing with putting an article about a movie into the Albums WikiProject because it discusses the soundtrack album. I think the topic of the article should drive what projects it should belong to. Thanks. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 16:20, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Informing page creators of proposed deletions

When you propose a page for deletion as you did here, please inform the page creator. Also, your edit summary should say that it is a proposed deletion. Note that it is part of the administrator instructions to check that you have done this and failure to do so may result in the prod being declined. Note also that the abbreviation prod is unlikely to be understood by new editors so please write proposed deletion in full. SpinningSpark 17:48, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Removing parent category

Hello, Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars,
I usually leave the parent categories for a category nominated for deletion but I've found that some admins, when they see that a category isn't empty, will remove the CSD tag. They do not notice that the subcategory is also empty. So, I anticipate an admin refusing to delete the empty categories Category:Rhythm and blues albums by Moroccan artists and Category:Dance music albums by Moroccan artists because if you see them at Category:Empty categories awaiting deletion, they don't look like empty categories.
Some admins will notice that it is just an empty category holding another empty category but some will just remove the CSD C1 tag and leave the category so that is why I occasionally remove a parent category so it is obvious that the category is indeed empty. Liz Read! Talk! 20:01, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

  • I hope admins aren't deleting categories just because they have been tag for deletion as being empty. They should be checking that they weren't emptied out of process, among other things, first. Obviously, one can just wait until the subcategory is deleted than tag the parent when it is truly empty, but when I see it I usually want to take care of it. Thanks. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 20:58, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
Well, looking at the speed at which different areas of CSD are cleared, I think most admins do a cursory check to see if a tag is appropriate. But for empty categories, they sit for four days before they are eligible for deletion. I regularly look at the holding category to see if any articles/pages have been added, and if so, I remove the CSD tag. But I don't know how much thought admins give to deletions in Category:Candidates for speedy deletion as empty categories. I don't delete empty categories myself, I will tag them but then I think a different editor carry out the deletion (or decide not to). Liz Read! Talk! 22:50, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Category:RCA/JIVE Label Group singles

Can you have a look at this cat for me. Thanks. --Richhoncho (talk) 19:26, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

@Richhoncho:: This seem like this should be a parent category at best but really not needed at all. Looking at a couple of examples, Glitter in the Air has the label listed as Laface and Jive and thus categorized appropriately in Category:LaFace Records singles and Category:Jive Records singles, and Don't You Want to Stay shows the label as Broken Bow and RCA and in Category:Broken Bow Records singles and Category:RCA Records singles, as I would expect. Anything more seems like overcategorization to me. The effort here would be the same as someone going through articles in Category:Motown singles and adding Category:Universal Music Group singles to any song that was released on the Motown label since 1999. What do you think? --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 23:42, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
Category:Bertelsmann Music Group singles was also created in a similar fashion, and none of the articles I looked at even mention Bertelsmann. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 23:46, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
My thoughts exactly. Most people don't understand the difference between "label," "record company," and some instances "distribution company." Even though I add the cats for the given labels I cringe sometimes at what I am doing! Furthermore, if a record company changes it's name, doesn't IMO, change the name of the label. It is possible that the whole "single by record label" is such a mess it's not worth keeping. The cat we are speaking of needs to go. --Richhoncho (talk) 23:50, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
(talk page stalker) Forgive my intrusion, but I agree with you guys. There are too many complications trying to categorise a single by record label: for one, some record companies used a variety of labels under their control to issue singles in different countries... Phonogram springs to mind, many of their singles (and albums) would be released on Polydor, Mercury, Fontana, Vertigo, etc. depending on a particular country, so would we have to include a category for each of those labels? Some singles were released on more than one label simultaneously ("Push It", "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)"). If you extend the categories to albums I'm sure there are some albums that changed label during long chart runs, without being specifically reissued (The Dark Side of the Moon may be an example, I'm not sure).
