Talk:List of Meredith Music Festival lineups by year

Unlinking

The link to Chris Wilson was removed. An article by that name was just deleted following a VfD vote. That article referred to a Chris Wilson who was found not to meet the recommended general criteria for inclusion of biographies or the music-specific WP:NMG. It is unclear to me whether or not this article was attempting to refer to the same person. If it is a different Chris Wilson, the link should probably not be recreated here until an encyclopedic article has been written on this Chris Wilson. Thanks. Rossami (talk) 00:33, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Page needs improvement

This page should not be classified as a top level 'Aust Music Festival' page - it should be just a sub page under the Meredith Festival Page. By itself it just appears to be a 'link-spam' page.

This page was originally split from the article Meredith Music Festival because it was too long. This seems reasonable to me, because if the list was merged back it would double the size of the original article.

This article is not linkspam. Linkspam is the addition of external links to Wikipedia to promote the target of the link, and this page has no external links at all. It does not contain any promotional language or anything else to promote anyone or anything. It is not spam. Hut 8.5 15:13, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

"his page has no external links at all"

I repeat - "This page should not be classified as a top level 'Aust Music Festival' page - it should be just a sub page under the Meredith Festival Page. By itself it just appears to be a 'link-spam' page."Also note the tag someone else added - ""This article does not cite any references or sources. (January 2007) Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unverifiable material may be challenged and removed."

Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not 2.4 Wikipedia is not a mirror or a repository of links, images, or media files "Mere collections of internal links, except for disambiguation pages when an article title is ambiguous, and for lists to assist with the organisation of articles."

It's the only "List of..." in the Category:Music_festivals_in_Australia, so since it's just a sub page off the Meredith Festival page (and no other Festival there has a separate "List of ..." page), I removed the Category:Music festivals in Australia tag. By having it as just a sub page off there, it is more in line with Wiki Policy. I won't waste my time challenging it at this time, since the Festival fans would probably want to keep this info.

I left the other list tags, as they are appropriate.

This page cannot be linkspam by defniition. A linkspam page is one that contains external links trying to promote another website (and this page does not have any external links, so it can't do that). In order to be any kind of spam the page would have to promote something, and it obviously is not. The fact that the page is currently unreferenced is irrelevant to whether or not it is spam, and is not a reason to delete the page - it's a reason to find some references.

It is in keeping with Wikipedia policy to have lists of things - see Wikipedia:Lists. It is a "list to assist with the organisation of articles" that you quoted above. It is in Category:Music festivals in Australia because it is about a music festival in Australia. The fact that there are no other list articles in that category is irrelevant, as it could be that no-one has got around to writing one yet. It is not a "sub-page" (and I'm not sure what you mean by that term). The category should be restored. Hut 8.5 13:14, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
