[edit] Questionable band listings

There are some awfully minor current bands listed. I don't want to start a general inquisition, but let me start with one: what have Charlie Drown done to merit mention in an encyclopedia? I've never even heard of them heading a bill at a local club. -- Jmabel | Talk 09:06, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Later: I'm still not sure they are "notable", but they are certainly talented. - Jmabel | Talk 07:19, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed merge

Probably a good idea, and the other has the better title. - Jmabel | Talk 00:28, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

A merge would be good, but isn't the other title a little excessive? I would think that entertainment (and maybe even culture depending on how it's used) would fit right under "arts". I don't oppose it if it went that way, just think a more concise title would be better for the material included. Radagast83 00:31, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Fine by me either way, too. Does someone want to do the legwork? - Jmabel | Talk 23:53, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] comedy

Seattle has a fledging stand up scene, with regular comedy going on at multiple locations. Would it be acceptable to include it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.208.86.36 (talk • contribs) 7 November 2006.

As long as you can do it an an encyclopedically appropriate manner.
As you may or may not know, our standards for verifiability have gone up since much of this was written, so at this point it would definitely help to have citable sources for what you write. - Jmabel | Talk 08:02, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Northwest Crafts Alliance?

I see Northwest Crafts Alliance and the Best of the Northwest art show have an entire paragraph here. I wouldn't have thought them even worth a mention. Are there any objections to removing? If so, could someone give an indication of why they are notable (e.g. are there members who are, individually of encyclopedic notability)? - Jmabel | Talk 07:18, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] glass blowing

It seems like there should be some mention of Dale Chihuly in the article... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.113.98.113 (talk) 00:41, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
