Redlinks edit

Why is Redlink not appropriate here? Rathfelder (talk) 17:44, 29 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

List articles such as this need a criteria to establish WP:notability. The normal criteria used is that an article already exists about the entry. A redlink shows that there is no article. noq (talk) 18:49, 29 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
Why is notability an issue in a list? A good list will be comprehensive, including examples which are not notable. The Independent Pharmacists Association may not be notable, but it is clearly a pharmacy association. Rathfelder (talk) 20:31, 29 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
Why should the list be comprehensive? These list of articles are never comprehensive and the article I linked to above - WP:WTAF is generally used to control what goes into lists otherwise they deteriorate into directory listings - and that is not what Wikipedia is for. You've been bold, I reverted, now per WP:BRD its time for you to get consensus for your version - note that is bold, revert,discuss. Not bold,revert,revert,discuss. noq (talk) 15:23, 1 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
I agree with Noq. A comprehensive list on this topic seems unfeasible. As a consequence, WP:CSC mandates that non-notable entries do not belong in the list. IronGargoyle (talk) 16:56, 1 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
I was actually thinking of writing an article about the IPA. But I'm not sure how notable it is. However I think a complete list of pharmacy associations in the UK is perfectly feasible.Rathfelder (talk) 18:40, 1 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
