[edit] Organization

Right now this page is organized as follows:

1. Active/inactive
2. Alphabetical

This seems, to me, to not be the most efficient way of organization that is possible. How about, instead:

1. Era
2. Nationality
3. Alphabetical

One large problem might be specifying a distinct nationality for every organist, but I suspect this might not be as large of a problem as one might think. Otherwise, I think this method of organization should work better than others. —Sesquialtera II (talk) 21:18, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notability

I see this discussion page has gotten a whole lot of use so far..

We need to establish notability requirements; I don't want to go through and put "citation needed" on every redlink, especially since some of the people are actually notable, but some of them are probably not. This list has also become highly unwieldy and we should consider maybe making it into a table (possible columns: current church and/or current teaching position, birthyear, maybe "notes" allowing for other information). —Sesquialtera II (talk) 23:09, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
