CTM scope review
[edit]Following on from this discussion, I have started to review the scope of WP:CTM's coverage on WP. There are two main possiblilies, so far:
- We refine our scope according to the "written in the last 50 years or so" statement agreed upon a few months back and included in the Overview - Scope section on the main page.
- We redefine our scope to include only living people and their works (while retaining the other relevent articles such as contemporary classical music etc).
The former position was agreed by consensus, of course, so redefining our scope to the latter position is a radical shift that needs full discussion and consensus. In essence, the question of redefining arises from the recent mass sourcing drama:
- It has been suggested that CTM take full responsibility for all composer BLPs.
- If that goes ahead, WPComposers may wish to unbanner composer BLPs and leave them to CTM (see here for example).
- Therefore, CTM simply focusses in on those people relevent to our project but not bannered by other projects eg composers with BLPs.
- Other articles on people are then treated in a similar way ie we would then cover BLPs only and their related articles (plus any other contemporary-music-related articles, as appropriate).
The full review and discussion is found at: Wikipedia:WikiProject Contemporary music/Scope.
I am also looking more generally at our project's focus, especially as regards the notability criteria etc: User:Jubileeclipman/CTM. Thoughts on that are also most welcome!

In the wake of the proceedings at the Composers project, I am reviewing CTM's guidelines regarding infoboxes: at present we simply follow all the other CM-projects on this issue. I propose that we simply leave it to editors to use common sense and avoid policy-violations. Thoughts welcome at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Contemporary_music#CTM.27s_advice_to_editors_regarding_Infoboxes. Thank you --Jubilee♫clipman 23:09, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
