Notability guidelines

edit

How to assess notability for bagpipe-related articles, especially historical ones? Guidelines for music acts and groups. Notability comes from coverage in media, but there are certain ways a band or player can generate that coverage. If a band or player hasn't competed at a high level or produced some other form of media, coverage is much more likely to be primary - ie generated by them - or only a mention in passing.

Pipe bands

edit

Ways for a band to assert notability:

  • Bands that have spent time in Grade 1 at any point in history - and the coverage associated with competing at this level
  • Featuring prominently in major events

Solo players

edit

Ways for a solo player to become notable.

  • Winning a Gold medal - there is only a finite number of these players
  • As a touring musician

Composers

edit
  • ??

Makers

Organisations

Tunes

edit
  • Only a few tunes meet the guidelines. Composers are more likely to be notable than tunes, and any useful information about a tune can also be said about the composer.
