Well, in cases where there are established notability criteria like ], I definitely think that can be cited in deletion debates and it will be pretty much accepted.

Good work removing all those Starwood links. It's definitely to the point of deliberate google pagerank boosting. Fact is, it's only one of a very many festivals of its type, as far as I can tell, and while (if it deserves its own article) a list of notable performers/workshop teachers might be good on its own article, I don't think every single one of them needs a link to Starwood on their page. ] (]:]) 06:22, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

]
''I sort of got a recommendation from User:Addhoc that you could possibly give some advice on the Misplaced Pages:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-11-03 Starwood Festival. Mediation seems rather stalled for the moment and we have no mediator in charge. Related to this is Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Mattisse as well. I'm uncertain whether we should move on to WP:RFAR or what. Since things seem to be heading to another edit war, I'd really like some input from a more experienced hand at this. We really need a help with this situation. If nothing else, we could use feedback on this situation if you have the time to do so. Also FYI, I'm also mentioning this to User:Ars Scriptor, another recommendation from Addhoc. Thanks. --Pigman (talk • contribs) 19:57, 3 December 2006 (UTC)''

] '''CheckUser changes'''
Hey there, I have been following the Starwood thing for quite some time but I have stayed out of it because I'm not sure I can be neutral. My opinion is that the festival should not be linked, internal or external, to any artist at all. My reason is this: ] does not list "appeared at a notable festival" as a criteria for notability. Therefore, appearing at Starwood does not create or add to anyone's notability. So if that is an artist's only claim to notability here, their article should be deleted. You don't see other musician's articles listing venues they have played, so I don't see why Starwood should be any different. Major tours, yes, individual festivals and venues, no.
:] {{hlist|class=inline
|]
|]
}}


] '''Guideline and policy news'''
Of course, the trick is how to go about removing the links without edit-warring. As long as it can be illustrated that the majority of editors believe the links should not be there (and that seems to be the case), they should be removed without further delay. --<font color="3300FF">] </font> 21:46, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
* Following ], the ] has been updated. All former administrators may now only regain the tools following a request at the ] within 5 years of their most recent admin action. Previously this applied only to administrators deysopped for inactivity.
* Following a ], a new speedy deletion criterion, ], has been enacted. This applies to template subpages that are no longer used.


] '''Technical news'''
:The problem is that ] is a guideline, not a policy. Therefore, I wouldn't block Rosencomet unless there was a clear consensus against what he's doing, which there really isn't, yet. I guess what I would do right now is open an RfC on ] asking the simple question, "Is it appropriate to add internal links to this article and external links to Starwood-related sites, to dozens of articles on people who have appeared at this festival?" If the consensus is no, then we can remove the links and block people who try to re-add them. As a courtesy to Salix Alba, who opened the mediation case, you should let him know what you're doing and ask if he'd consider withdrawing the case until the RfC is complete. --<font color="3300FF">] </font> 01:44, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
* Technical volunteers can now register for the ], which will take place in Istanbul, Turkey. is open from November 12 to December 10, 2024.
::You are correct on the RfC. Whereas generally only a handful of affected people visit and participate in a mediation case, an RfC is posted linked to a public location where it invites any interested people to comment. It draws in a much larger cross-section of the community, who are mostly neutral. It will be interesting to discover whether Salix Alba believes anything is being accomplished in the mediation case regarding the excessive linking. --<font color="3300FF">] </font> 04:13, 4 December 2006 (UTC)


] '''Arbitration'''
== Starwood ==
* The arbitration case '']'' (formerly titled '']'') has been closed.
* An arbitration case titled '']'' has been opened. Evidence submissions in this case will close on 14 December.


----
I saw your note on Ars Scriptor's talk page. It seems that since ] reverted you earlier, ] talked some sense into him on his talk page. He has removed the external links that he restored on several articles. He may have missed some, but I don't think that was intentional. I've cleaned up one or two myself. I think there is general agreement from myself, Ekajati and Rosencomet that the external links can be removed. I think there will be no further objection as long as the internal Wikilinks are left. Might I suggest taking it up on the talk page of the article in those few cases where it is ''really'' not appropriate. I've restored some internal links that I think should be left. I have not restored others that I agree are too distantly related to matter. I think this is about to sort itself out unless you (or ]) choose to unnecessarily escalate it... &mdash;] 02:14, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

The reason I deleted the external links from the article was because they did not seem connected to the Musart described in the article. One of those links referred to a Mexican record company founded in 1948 and the other was broken but a little fiddling found it referred to the same company. This seemed incorrect for an event sponsored by a group based in Ohio and a musician based in Ann Arbor, MI. Was I wrong? If you have different supporting information, please add it to the page. I'm acting on the information available to me. While I've heard of the rest of ACE's projects, I'm not familiar with this one. --Pigman (talk • contribs) 18:48, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
