Talk:List of folk festivals

Untitled

This looks more like the start of a list-of page , curently very N. America-centric. Cambridge FF is in England. See the Folk festivals category for lots of other festivals. --JBellis 19:21, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Anybody know which are the most prominent?

I'm trying to list 10-15 prominent folk festivals at the Folk Music article (I also linked this article). Any suggestions on which of these are the the biggest/most prominent? Thanks. North8000 (talk) 00:23, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Kutztown, PA

Anyone know if the annual Folk Festival in Kutztown, Pennsylvania qualifies for the list on this page? I've attended it once or twice (or possibly more), but I don't know if it's strictly folk arts. Here's their website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Macks2008 (talk • contribs) 03:58, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Move article to "List of folk festivals by region"

Hello! I've been doing some work cleaning things up a bit here, and I had a thought while doing to. It might make more sense for this article to be moved to "List of folk festivals by region" and have this redirect there. I'm not about to jump in and do that yet, so I wanted everyone's thoughts, as there seem to be a few souls lingering here. Anyone have any input?

Thanks! Flamingtorch372 (talk) 16:59, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

I don't have any strong opinion, but I don't think that adding the article organization method to the topic is a good idea. North8000 (talk) 19:12, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

Mind elaborating? Flamingtorch372 (talk) 13:44, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

IMHO, the title of the article should be the topic, just as with regular articles. So that would lead to not putting other details on how the article is organized into the title. Also, that would mean the the title would constrain how it is approached. For example, if going by countries is better in some cases, the title should not stop that from being done. Again, I don't have a strong opinion on this. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 15:12, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

My thought was that since it is already formatted by country, it would make more sense to title more accurately, but you make a good point worth considering. Flamingtorch372 (talk) 17:42, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
