Infobox:Classical composer
editI need to refine this template to use for classical composers. Can someone add parameters to this? Thanks. Nickkontek (talk) 19:07, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Nickkontek do you have any ideas in mind, or are you just generally asking for more just to have them? Because it'll be a lot easier to accomodate the former. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 20:16, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- Specifically any that couldn't already be covered by adding {{infobox person}} as a module? QuietHere (talk | contributions) 20:18, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- If you don't know already, be aware that infoboxes are a source of great contention among classical music groups. Some groups take the attitude that if one doesn't already exist for an article, it is not to be added; new articles that come with infoboxes are ok. For some reason some people are very vociferous in their dislike of infoboxes (I'm all in favor of them). - kosboot (talk) 20:47, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- I’m new to the concept of templates and the parameters they have, so I was wondering if someone can make some for this since I had no idea how to make them. If someone tells me how I will gladly develop this template further. Nickkontek (talk) 16:59, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, but again, what parameters are you requesting? We need to know what you want to add before it can be added (or rejected if there's consensus against the idea). QuietHere (talk | contributions) 18:45, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

The Notorious B.I.G. nominated at FAR
editI have nominated The Notorious B.I.G. for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" in regards to the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 04:47, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
Seeking thoughts regarding a draft
editHi everyone. I stumbled upon some news for an Israeli-Palestinian pop group, of which, a draft already exists. I've since edited the draft based on the new news/existing press in the draft. They have some decent press (Billboard, Variety, People, some newspaper coverage) but have yet to release anything. Conventional wisdom tells me that they're notable based on the publications reporting on them (based on traditional WP:V and note 1 of WP:BAND), but I'm curious what outside opinions would say about this situation, considering they haven't produced any songs/videos. A documentary about the group is due to be released on Paramount+, but obviously has not been released yet. I'm curious, does the existence of good quality articles dictate their notability despite not having released any content? 30Four (talk) 23:21, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
Ji-Hae Park (violinist)
editHello, this Korean violinist has repeatedly added material to "her" article that does not meet Wikipedia's standards (PR style, external links, missing references, etc.). I have been in touch with her over email for a while now, but we are unable to move forward. Instead, there have been repeated reverts. Can someone help me 'break the cycle' here? Thank you! Gnom (talk) 07:37, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- I took the user's most recent edit summary ("If you think some expressions are PR words, I recommend fixing those expressions instead of reverting to a page from 10 years ago") to heart and removed any content that was either not properly sourced or was obvious puffery. Perhaps that will help clarify or at least help them feel less frustrated about the full reversions (which, in my opinion, were entirely justified.) Hope this helps! Violetstork (talk) 18:43, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Violetstork, thank you for this. Could we also align the number of weblinks in the "external links" section with WP:EXT? Also, I believe that we do not have a reference for the "entrepreneur" title in the lead sentence. Thanks, Gnom (talk) 06:04, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
Deaths in band members sections
editI am here to start a discourse about why we should not list these in band member timeline unless they died while still active in the band. To my knowledge, this has not been discussed with meaningful depth. We cannot stop the flow of time, and eventually, all the members of a band will be deceased. Are we really going to put "died 19xx" or "died 20xx" after every former member in such a case? It's only important here, in my opinion, if they died while a member of the band.
There is only one discussion of this topic which I recall, located at Talk:Casting Crowns. One person in that argument claimed there was another older discussion, but was unable to locate it. I supported adding these deaths at the time, simply because it was the widespread standard I observed across numerous bands. My opinion has since changed.
I propose that we formally make it the standard to remove these notes from band members sections. If we note the deceased at all, it would be when the member in question died while still a member of the band, where we would continue to use, for example Kurt Cobain (1987-1994; his death). mftp dan oops 12:58, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
