Talk:List of Punjabi singers

Improvements required
The list page requires many improvements because:
 * There is not much summary information on artists
 * Some artists have one word explanations next to their names which does not really explain much

 * There is no uniform way in which the details of artists are written.

Categorization
There is a reason the list is alphabetical, and that is so a reader can easily find any given artist by name. It doesn't help if people keep putting them under different letters.

Also we need to come to a consensus over whether or not information summaries should be placed next to artists names. I have removed the summaries, feel free to revert and discuss below. Cheers Sfacets 04:55, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Proposal

Most of the summaries were centered around
 * Country
 * Band affiliation
 * Notability

We could create a table where a column could be asssigned to each of these cats. (any more?) What do people think? Sfacets 05:19, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Notability
Note to any users thinking of adding a name to this list: Lists on Wikipedia are for the categorization of notable people. If you want to add a name to the list, first be sure that he or she meets Wikipedia's notability criteria. If they do, then create an article first, including reliable sources of information, like newspapers or magazines, confirming the person's importance. Only then should a person be added to the list. Singers whose names are unlinked or redlinked should be removed from the list. Thanks! -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 23:40, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Merger proposal
The name List of Punjabi singers is more appropriate than List of Punjabi musicians, as the content on both pages is same. Only difference between two pages is that of alphabetically category or Noted singer/old school singer. Thanks! - Q.C. (talk · contribs)


 * QC, you are right. This is a no-brainer. Nobody will argue about this so somebody can merge them now. Consensus should be straightforward on this issue. GizzaDiscuss  &#169; 14:04, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

The above merger doesnt make sense because a singer may or may not be a musician and vice versaCalifornianmunda (talk) 22:04, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Alphabetize
Lists of people's names should surely be sorted in surname order, not given name. -- Boing!   said Zebedee  11:59, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Pruned
removed musicians (people who have never sung) such as bally sagoo, punjabi mc, dr zeus etc from the list, due to their inclusion in a "list of punjabi singers" not making logical senseCalifornianmunda (talk) 22:05, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Removing red links of unknown/self inserted names into the list as well in keeping with Wikipedia policies on notabilityCalifornianmunda (talk) 02:01, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

 * ❌ No articles exist with those names. If you have references, you would need to provide them or use them to create the articles. The second is mentioned at Kuldeep Manak, but unreferenced. Dru of Id (talk) 06:37, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

A lot of Punjabi singers from Pakistan are missing on your page. Its strange that you missed out Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Rahat Fateh Ali, Atif Aslam, Ali Zafar, Javad Ahmed etc.etc. etc. Pls have them added. Thax, Umer

Umerpunjab (talk) 19:32, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

✅ I have added Atif Aslam, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Ali Zafar as they already have their own Wikipedia articles. - Arjayay (talk) 17:21, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I have not added Javad Ahmed or Rahat Fateh Ali, as they do not have articles, (unless they are under different spellings, which I cannot find) so are not eligible for inclusion in the list.

 * Red question icon with gradient background.svg Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. If you wish to add the names of singers the criteria is that they have an article on Wikipedia. Now I don't know how to parse the names you give (is it "Sidhu Moosewala" or is it "Sidhu" and "Moosewala" so if you could clarify that would help...)
