Re: the above additions. I added their names to Wikipedia:Requested articles/music/Performers, bands and songwriters yesterday, but they all got reverted and removed on the basis that the sources did not show significant coverage (I'm doubtful that the rest of the current requests fulfil this criteria though). Therefore, I'm reluctant to add them to the Requested Jazz articles page linked above, even though the content of that page seems to lack suggested sources. The "Requested articles" rules are heavily biased towards contemporary artists - it's another example of Wikipedia's "recentism". There might be numerous mainstream music websites out there which are regarded as "RS" and write about every latest trend. Sources for artists whose heyday was pre-internet are going to be much less readily available online. The guidelines for Music notability also leans against artists from the pre-LP era with parts of the criteria list, ie. releasing two or more albums on a major label, sales certifications and achieving hits on a national chart. I'd be happy to contribute to articles about those named above, I just don't know if I have time to start all the articles myself.--TrottieTrue (talk) 15:54, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
