Talk:Joe Negri archives

Notability
Do any secondary sources cover this archive in depth? What makes it more notable than any run-of-the-mill collection in a university's archives? Might be best merged to the university's section on the archives or otherwise deleted. czar 19:27, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
 * The topic was covered in a publication, a secondary source. Barbara (WVS) (talk) 21:03, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Right but the general notability guideline says that articles require significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources (?) or else they should be merged/deleted. The idea is that there needs to be secondary coverage proportional to our coverage. The guitars site is not a reliable, secondary source. The research guide is a primary source. And the last two sources are affiliated with Pitt, so not independent. We would need to have multiple instances of sources (e.g., newspapers, books) that covered these archives in depth—otherwise, they're just as notable as any other collection at Pitt's archives, and we don't have pages for every collection at an archive without external coverage. Does that make sense? The general notability guideline page has more information. czar  01:06, 16 October 2015 (UTC)


 * , would you object to redirecting this article to Joe Negri? Otherwise I think it'll have to go to Articles for Deletion. czar  15:57, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much for giving me an option instead beginning an AfD. How about if I merge the article myself into the Joe Negri article? If this is agreeable, and you are an administrator, can you just delete the article and put in a redirect (I'm embarrassed to say I don't know how to do a redirect). Can you give me until Tues., 10/27? Best Regards,

 * Of course! Sounds good. I'd leave out the lists of archive assets, though, which is an indiscriminate collection if no secondary source finds it important enough to note in specific. czar  20:35, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Will do, thanks for reducing the drama! Best Regards, Barbara (WVS) (talk) 23:53, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
