Pink Floyd Low‑importance

This article is within the scope of WikiProject Pink Floyd, a collaborative effort to improve the coverage of Pink Floyd on Wikipedia. If you would like to participate, please visit the project page, where you can join the discussion and see a list of open tasks.Pink FloydWikipedia:WikiProject Pink FloydTemplate:WikiProject Pink FloydPink Floyd articles

Low

This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

This article was a past project collaboration.

To-do list:

Fair use

Add fair use rationale to all images and sound samples (all except images already labeled free use).
Re-size large images around to 300 pixels (all "fair use" images), other than album covers (already done).

Articles

Expand all articles to at least Start class. Some song stubs can't be expanded and should be redirected to the relevant album article. Use the "Interstellar Overdrive" article as an example when editing a song stub.
Expand all of the Floyd's studio album articles to at least GA status.
See COTM for monthly collabs.

Project building

Add WikiProject Pink Floyd banner {{WPFloyd}} to all appropriate Talk pages.
Personally invite quality editors working on Pink Floyd articles to join the project.

If you complete one of these tasks, please remove it from the list.

This article does not yet have a related to do list. If you can think of any ways to improve the article, why not create one?

'Rock' or 'Psychedelic Rock'[edit]

I see from the history that the genre was briefly changed to 'Psychedelic rock, progressive rock, art rock' before reverting back to simply 'Rock'. As the band is concentrating exclusively on the very early music of Pink Floyd isn't it correct to categorise it as 'Psychedelic rock' (but without 'Progressive' or 'Art')? Jrmh (talk) 07:59, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Seems reasonable. There are some sources using that description: [1] [2] --Jellyman (talk) 15:41, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Andy Dingley (talk) 21:28, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Disagreed. Out of the twenty or so songs being performed only 7 at most can be called "psychedelic". – Dyolf87 (talk) 13:43, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Listcruft[edit]

I think the (unsourced) list of concert dates needs to be removed from the article. It was OK when the band had only played a few dates, but it's getting completely out of hand now. We don't need to detail the dates of every concert an act plays, except where tours are notable enough to be spun off into separate articles. I also have concerns about the (also unsourced) setlist, which is likewise ever-expanding as more songs are added to their repertoire. Jellyman (talk) 11:53, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree on both counts. The band are not a recording band, only a live band and have only toured once – which is still on-going. The set list has changed very little since the pre-tour shows in May 2018, having 4 additions (and nothing removed) in the 12 month period since. If, however, the band go on to do more tours in the future, I will fully support the moving of the tour information to its own page, but not before then. On the topic of an "unsourced setlist", nearly every Wikipedia article for a concert tour contains unsourced setlists because there are no reliable sources online which meet Wikipedia's criteria for a reliable source, however the information is out there, on Setlist FM, YouTube, Facebook, etc. – Dyolf87 (talk) 13:40, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There are, surely, reliable sources for each individual date? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:59, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

For setlists? Yes, but none which Wikipedia considers "reliable" as far as I know. – Dyolf87 (talk) 21:38, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Tour dates removed[edit]

The Tour dates were removed. I think, the dates should be restored. For example, the Tour's (and Tour dates) of Pink Floyd have own articles (The Division Bell Tour etc.) Grimes2 (talk) 13:35, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I removed it for all the reasons Jellyman stated above. But to restate: articles about musical acts don't need to list every show they play. We typically include such lists only when tours or shows are notable enough for their own article (and even then not in every case).

See WP:LISTCRUFT for general arguments about why having lists of stuff isn't always a good thing. Popcornfud (talk) 13:46, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Total rubbish. Have you not seen how many articles there are for Yes concert tours? – Dyolf87 (talk) 13:29, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dyolf87, no I haven't. However I don't think I would learn anything if I did because WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Perhaps those articles ought to be deleted. Popcornfud (talk) 13:32, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
