[edit] Notability proposal

I propose that the main page should be altered to show that it's a list of notable drummers. I suggest this as a way of stopping the list getting out of control and too large. There is no need for a list of drummers from a bored teenager's rudimentary garage band. WebHamster 11:36, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Define "notable" - that's the problem. Said teenagers will still add themselves and other minor no-name drummers. My criteria for inclusion here is that the drummer has their own article, and if so they therefore must comply with our notability policy. violet/riga (t) 11:53, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
Well notability is hard to define but relatively easy to implement on a case by case basis. Notability is obvious at the extreme ends of the scale, but the awkward ones that fit in the 'middle ground' should be given the benefit of the doubt I reckon. Actually it was the wording I was suggesting we change as it gives the editors more latitude for deleting weekend drummers who have sneaked their own article into Wiki.
