Wikipedia:WikiProject Indie Music/Strategy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] My contributions thus far

Since I got into wikipedia, I've been mostly focusing on articles related to the Pacific Northwest music scene. Since it was decided to do away with lists of bands by state, and replace them with categories, I've been searching out local bands and categorizing them. I've added 100+ bands to Category:Washington musical groups. Now there is a better collection of Washington bands on Wikipedia than there ever was before. Categorizing is a good strategy to start with.

Also, an obvious strategy is to add new bands. Make sure to establish their notability so it won't get deleted. I've begun to add a few bands. For me, it's best to start the band's stub article, and categorize it so that it other wikipedians or myself can add to it before unstubbing it.

I've also started a few articles on local musicians (such as Jason Holstrom), so that more band line-ups can link to their members' articles. --EndlessVince 03:30, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
