Foals (band) a British or English band?
Hello there. I have started a discussion for the article Foals (band) on their origin, and there is a bit of edit warring from an IP regarding the lead section on whether the band is British or if they are English. I have started a discussion on the article's talk page for this thread: Talk:Foals (band)#British or English?. I would like to see some discussion to see if a consensus could be reached on whether they are British or English. The categories say they are an English band, but IP (who refuses to communicate in talk discussion) persists that it is a British band via their edit summaries. So far, there's been no communication from the IP and users I have pinged. HorrorLover555 (talk) 16:26, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
Rfc: Should the Eras Tour be mentioned in the lead of Sabrina Carpenter?
An RfC has been made here regarding whether Carpenter opening Taylor Swift's Eras Tour should be mentioned in the lead of Carpenter's biography article or not. You are invited to participate. ℛonherry☘ 18:09, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
Eric Rachmany
Could someone from this WP:MUSICIAN take a look at Eric Rachmany and assess it per WP:BIO or WP:NMUSICIAN? Based on the current sourcing of the article, it doesn't seem like Rachmany meets either. I did a cursory Google search and didn't see anything that resembles significant coverage on the first page, but I didn't really go any deeper than that. Rachmany is a member of Rebelution (band), so WP:CHEAP is possible if he's not considered to be Wikipedia notable on his own. FWIW, the Rachmany article is only about two weeks old and didn't go through WP:AFC. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:12, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
Rush (band) regarding end of band
There is a discussion on the article's talk page regarding the band either ending in 2015 or 2018. Some opinions would be helpful to see if a full consensus can be given. The topic is Talk:Rush (band)#Lifeson confirming 2015 end. Thanks. HorrorLover555 (talk) 20:44, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
Discussion on talk page of article Nightwish
There is a discussion that has started on the talk page of Nightwish regarding if the band's upcoming touring hiatus should be referred to as either "hiatus" or "touring hiatus", and may be of interest for the members of this WikiProject. The discussion can be found at Talk:Nightwish#Hiatus or touring hiatus?. Thank you. HorrorLover555 (talk) 00:38, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

Regarding timelines: can we please change the default color for the drums? It's too similar to guitars
The 4 most common attributes seen on timelines are vocals (red), bass (blue), guitars (green), and drums (orange). I believe that the guitars (green) and drums (orange) are too similar (at least here on Wikipedia due to EasyTimeline's default shades), especially to someone like me who is partially colorblind.
I feel like, since these are the 4 most common instruments, then 4 vastly different colors should be used. Naturally, I'd say red/blue/green/yellow, but because of the white background, yellow is not practical. Thus, maybe a different shade of another color or dark purple or bright teal? Literally anything else besides this particular orange? (fyi I understand that there are plugins/options for colorblindness on browsers, but since these 4 colors are the most common, I figured that I'd bring it up due to MOS:ACCESS). Xanarki (talk) 23:23, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
- I also wanted to point out that I'm not trying to skew this towards only 1 disability (since there's indeed a few different ones than just mine). But that I think it'd be beneficial to simply have 4 vastly different colors across the board, such as the 3 primary colors (albeit with a different shade for yellow due to the site's background) but only 1 secondary (as opposed to how it is now with 2 primary and 2 secondary).

The article Ozzie Melendez has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
many issues, no movement on fixes in 6.5 years. Not super notable and reads like an advertisement
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Dode222 (talk) 22:20, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
The Mary Wallopers and "Anglophobia"
Hi all, I'm just dropping this message on all of the WikiProjects associated with The Mary Wallopers. An IP editor has been repeatedly adding a line to the article describing their musical style as Anglophobia. I have been repeatedly removing these inclusions as I do not believe the source a) is reliable enough or b) discusses the supposed Anglophobia in sufficient detail to warrant its inclusion.
There is an active Talk Page discussion which both myself and the IP editor have commented on today. I would value your input either way on this discussion as I really just want to stop edit warring with this other user. Thanks. Xx78900 (talk) 23:40, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Xx78900 Have you applied for page protection, or reported the user(s) behind the edits? If not, I would recommend both options. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 04:34, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
- The contribution was sourced and, in the context of Ireland, there is nothing wrong with being Anglophobic. Threatening a user, even and IP user, with a ban is inappropriate. 2A00:23C6:7682:F101:B9BC:7F47:C3CA:6F67 (talk) 08:32, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
Musician Redirect
A musician's article recently created underwent a review, and the reviewer decided to place a redirect to the band's article. They noted that a musician must be "notable" outside of their band. However, I'm not entirely convinced by this reasoning, and now it's causing some confusion. Anyone searching for the individual artist will be directed to the band's page, where there's no information about the person, only about the group.
The references used to create the article were from sources primarily focused on the band. However, within those citations, there was substantial information about the individual artist.
I believe the mere presence of enough references to compile an article, coupled with participation in various other projects (which can be cited and referenced within the article), should suffice? If an article is supposed to be based solely on references and they're are enough about the topic wouldn't that qualify?
This discussion brings up an interesting point. If musicians are expected to be notable outside of their band to warrant an article, it could exclude many talented artists, especially drummers or bass players, whose prominence is mainly due to their contributions within a band. In such cases, their significance lies in their role within the band rather than individual achievements outside of it. Therefore, the criteria for notability should consider the context of their contributions within the band. ChiliDog22 (talk) 17:04, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

Infobox:Classical composer
I 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)
