[edit] List of Cellists and Category
Is there any reason why we should not replace this list with Category:Cellists. It seems more work to maintain this list by hand than to add the category to the individual cellist pages. Though I suppose this list does encourage people to write articles for those who have no article yet. --imars 07:39, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
- I think the solution is to first categorize all the cellists with already existing articles, and then re-nominate it for deletion. I've already added non-existent articles to Requested articles under "Music", so as to still encourage to people to create new articles. CA387 09:13, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Notability
Many of the cellists on this list lack notability. Unless the cellist has made specific contributions to the music field—such as authoring books, teaching, or recording—please refrain from adding them (I also suspect that some cellists have been added for self-promotion). Playing well doesn't qualify; prodigies are a dime a dozen these days. I've removed some that aren't notable. CA387 09:44, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
- Bravo. Ancora, per favore. I've been holding back in this respect because 1) I don't know much about the cellistic world and 2) Notability =/= "reaching the ultimate pinnacle of global fame, so any random street interviewee knows their name." In other words, pretty sure there are lots of notable cellists I've never heard of, but I'm not about to add the name of the 9-year-old up the street whose playing is coming along very nicely. Hope that made at least a bit of sense, __Just plain Bill 12:51, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Sources
For redlinks, i.e. where there is not a handle to some other place with sources, there should at least be sources that each person is a cellist and is notable. —Centrx→talk • 14:55, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
