Sourcing criteria for list of dream pop artists
Per discussion suggestion by ilovetopaint: I see nothing amiss with this list or its provenance. It's no different than similar lists such as:
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_shoegazing_musicians
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_post-punk_revival_bands
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_post-punk_bands
 * None of those lists require special citation other than that the band pages mention their genre. Greg Fasolino (talk) 14:57, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Those articles should be redirected as well. Notice how all of them are tagged with . Those templates are supposed to be temporary. Obviously no one is going to bother fixing them.--Ilovetopaint (talk) 16:27, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

I suggest you go through Category:Dream pop musical groups and remove everybody who is unsourced - then you can recreate the article based on what is left. This would save a lot of time and discourage people from adding whatever band they want.--Ilovetopaint (talk) 16:43, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

Ah, I found the guideline: WP:CSC
 * The inclusion of items must be supported by reliable sources. For example, if reliable sources indicate that a complete list would include the names of ten notable businesses and two non-notable businesses, then you are not required to omit the two non-notable businesses. However, if a complete list would include hundreds or thousands of entries, then you should use the notability standard to provide focus to the list. ... Stand-alone lists are subject to Wikipedia's content policies and guidelines for articles, including verifiability and citing sources.
