Dillinger Escape Plan is on this list and i seriously don't see how they fall under dream pop, and there is probably more on this list who don't. someone fix? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.176.43.196 (talk) 04:11, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Is this list useless?
Does this list fill any need that the Dream Pop Category doesn't fill better? Hu 05:53, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Lists serve the purpose of providing both red and blue links, allowing at least a reference to an artist before someone gets around to writing an article. --Eyrian 06:00, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Redlinks
Usually lists of bands are supposed to be about notable ones. A few days ago I questioned having redlinked bands in the Industrial Rock list. They were removed and noone's bothered putting them back and making an article for them. Funny, that.

I think the redlinked bands should be removed or articles made for them -- a stub with a couple links is better than nothing at all -- and whoever sorts this thing should get on the ball: it says that it doesn't count "a", "an" or "the"... But what's the first band in the list?

Also I question whether some of the bands which do have links belong here. A meticulous searcher will find that quite a few of the bands don't even mention "dream pop" in their articles, let alone seem to belong to the genre. This should be either fixed or the bands removed, IMO.

Oh. And I should note that just because a given band works with a dream pop band often, it does not make the former dream pop as well. If things worked that way, very nearly every noteworthy band and musician would be very nearly every genre, and that would be just downright CONFUSING.

Orphaned references in List of dream pop artists
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of List of dream pop artists's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 18:06, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
