Untitled (May 2007)

I stopped in section J for alphabetizing it. Cjpluta 09:12, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Untitled (August 2007)

  • I alphabetised up until "M". I wonder if this list shouldn't be split into individuals and groups, or, for individuals, if we shouldn't list them as "Surname, Name"? What thoughts? ~ Biochemza 12:57, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've completed the alphabetizing. ~ Biochemza 22:07, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Of course, this should be checked, as there's bound to be errors. ~ Biochemza 22:46, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also, I've changed bands beginning with "The" and "Die" so that it reads Bandname, The or Bandname, Die. ~ Biochemza 13:07, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Someone should go through this page: http://www.sabands.co.za/bands.asp?filter=s (I've done all the other letters, I just got fed up with S) ~ Biochemza 22:55, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Notable artists

Should this list be changed to only include notable artists? -- YiS, Jediwannabe 13:41, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and also not contain external links as per WP:EL and WP:LIST. I've removed these. Greenman (talk) 23:03, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can you add Sharon Katz & The Peace Train to this list, please? Her website is sharonkatz.com I'd like to help her get a wikipedia page. That's long overdue. Thanks. Loreal17 (talk) 18:58, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: The musicians must be notable to be included on the list. This normally means already having an article on en.wiki. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 19:06, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

She is notable. Check her website: sharonkatz.com I could use some help in setting up a wikipedia pagge on her. I've had a lot of false starts on this. If you can help, I'd appreciate it. I'm one of her biggest fans.

Ordering and grouping entries in lists such as this one?

Presumably, there is some Wikipedia convention for how entries in lists such as this one should be ordered and grouped. For example, Valiant Swart appears under S and under V. Thanks. Drackles (talk) 17:32, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
