Artists must be notable (i.e. have an English Wikipedia article)
Entries in List-class articles must generally be notable in their own right. For English Wikipedia, that means the subject has its own article here on the project where we have independently assessed notability. Red link = no article = no list entry. See WP:WTAF. 2600:8800:1880:68:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 (talk) 19:56, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@2600:8800:1880:68:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 Some of these are more notable than most who have pages, these are artist from Ethiopia before the Wikipedia age, and don't have articles. I included these artists as a reminder because there will be pages created for them. I included sources for them, so they are not just red links without nothing to show for. Stop removing them, i'm in the process of gathering more sources, you can also be helpful in gathering sources, creating pages, instead of being disruptive in my view. I will be reverting them back.

You are edit-warring. You are disruptive. You are ignoring policy. Write the articles first, when they pass AFD (as your previous articles did not) then they can stay in this list article. 2600:8800:1880:68:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 (talk) 21:00, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@2600:8800:1880:68:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 Stop lecturing me IP user, i'm in the process of gathering sources @Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library/Research desk, you are the one that is disruptive and far from helpful, you can also be constructive, contributing constructively to this encyclopedia for example assist in gathering sources or creating articles, which other users recently pointed out on your talk page. In response to your partially misleading statement >> Write the articles first, when they pass AFD(as your previous articles did not). Only one single article got deleted, one of my first attempts to create a article. Two others that followed got approved. Dawit S Gondaria (talk) 22:06, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Third Opinion
First, both of you need to chill and be civil. In my opinion, the red links can stay if an editor says that they are working on draft articles, but not indefinitely. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:14, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
According to WP:CSC, Red-linked entries should be accompanied by citations sufficient to show that the entry is sufficiently notable for an article to be written on it (i.e., citations showing significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject). So what is required here is WP:SIGCOV, and a Library of Congress entry does not amount to that. Dawit has already indicated a struggle with finding WP:RS, I would be interested to see what can be provided. 2600:8800:1880:68:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 (talk) 02:15, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@2600:8800:1880:68:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B2 According to the same WP:CSC, Red-linked entries are acceptable if the entry is verifiably a member of the listed group and it is reasonable to expect an article could be forthcoming in the near future. 1) Library of Congress sources are there to confirm that the vocals are in Amharic, for which this list are intended, and thus verifiably a member of the listed group. 2) I reached out to Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library/Research desk because some sources about a artist biography, achievements are paywalled, some are classics from Ethiopia before Wikipedia was online, and there information maybe archieved. Hoewever they are notable, and not completely without sources, i'm looking for additional sources. You can also be constructive in this regard by registering an account, and assist in gathering sources and creating articles. Dawit S Gondaria (talk) 04:42, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
2600:8800:1880:68:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B2 I have been busy in real life, not enough time. But i will be creating draft articles for a couple of them before the 7th, last time i checked, 2 weeks haven't passed. Dawit S Gondaria (talk) 18:31, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
