The question with entries on this page is not one of quality, it is about sources. Lists are a very big problem on wikipedia pages, once they exist everyone keeps adding their favourite bands, despite the fact this adds nothing to the quality of the article. Personally if it we just up to me I would delete the lists as listing is not a normal function of an encyclopaedia. However, instead the list has been left for the time being and performers on it are all dependent on reliable sources which describe them as baroque. I routinely delete two or three bands a week from that page that have no sources, cite sources that do not describe them in appropriate terms or are not reliable. I checked your source and didn't see any such description, it is always possible that I missed a line that used a slightly different form. If you have a source with such a description or a slightly different one it might help to make it very clear in the edit description. There is something else to consider, the page is designed to help readers understand baroque pop, it is not to further the career of particular acts, this is meant to be an encyclopaedia not a fan site. Even if you have a reliable and clear source perhaps you should consider that the page cannot hold everyone listed and how does it help the article to add yet another act when there are so many there already.--Sabrebd (talk) 08:04, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
