[edit] Suggestions
Most of these pages pretty much duplicate the general guideline, as any of them can be overridden by the basic "multiple reliable sources" mantra anyone who frequents AfD is familiar with. It would save a ton of space and confusion if all the myriad "special cases" were just merged into cropped-down subsections on the main guideline page. Those that are still in proposal process can still be marked as such. This should make it more clear that WP:MUSIC, et al., aren't the most important things when judging notability, and that WP:N still trumps the lot of them. I've seen a lot of people mistaking this.
