Talk:List of electronic music festivals

Comments
This page labelled 'list of electronic music festivals' should be renamed as a great many of the festivals listed are not focused on electronic music. 50.99.104.210 (talk) 06:28, 17 October 2011 (UTC)C

The result of the move request was: not moved. Jenks24 (talk) 13:32, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

List of electronic music festivals → List of popular music festivals – Many of the early events appearing in this list would not fit anyone's definition of "electronic", including the definition on the Wikipedia page "Electronic music". Also, it is particularly telling that this existing "List of electronic music festivals" does not provide any definition of such festivals. Bmankin1 (talk) 16:14, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Survey

 * Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with  or  , then sign your comment with  . Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's policy on article titles.


 * Oppose, The problem with your suggestion is that it then opens this article up to pretty much all rock/pop festivals, maybe it would be best to concentrate on cleaning the article as is. Zarcadia (talk) 21:25, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Popular is subjective and may even be taken to exclude notable events.  The current title is the nom. Vegaswikian (talk) 19:11, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Discussion

 * Any additional comments:

Thanks, Zarcadia. The challenge is that someone originally spent a lot of time entering all those early music festivals on this list, even though those festivals would not generally meet any common definition of "electronic". Doing a cleanup as you propose would probably involve a significant amount of deletion, as well as the insertion of a robust definition of "electronic". Since I have never heard anyone ever call a music festival an "electronic music festival" prior to reading this Wikipedia entry, I have no idea whether there is a commonly accepted definition of the term and whether there are contemporary music festivals labeled as such. Also, I have never in the last 45 years heard anyone refer to a rock festival, a jazz festival, or a pop festival as an 'electronic music' festival. I suppose an alternative re-naming could be: 'List of public music festivals'. Then we might be able to leave its content much as it is and let others add and delete as they wish.

 * Maybe not electronic but I'm sure we can find sources for dance music festival, these terms are synonymous, or we can find them to be though citations. Don't be afraid of deletion, if articles have been added they can easily be deleted if they don't fit the the description of the article. I think strong examples that should be here are Electric Zoo Festival, Global Gathering and Creamfields. Zarcadia (talk) 22:44, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

I think what we need first and most is either the person who created this page to begin with, or an expert on electronic/dance music, to insert a full and proper definition of whatever type music they feel this page should be about. Then we can all go through the list of festivals and delete those that don't fit. Not only am I not such an expert, but I am so new to Wikipedia that I don't feel comfortable deleting so much of someone's previous work. All I know is that this page is full of inconsistencies that need to be resolved. My own interest is primarily in historic rock festivals, so at a minimum I would like to be able to eliminate the inconsistencies related to rock festivals. Bmankin1 (talk) 14:27, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, Vegaswikian. I'm not sure what you mean by "nom", but would you also oppose Zarcadia's suggestion that the name of the page be changed to "List of Dance Music Festivals"? We would still need a definition either way. Bmankin1 (talk) 21:43, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Umm - hello?
(1) Glastonbury Festival?

(2) What is far and away the largest music festival in Europe (750,000 attendees in 2014!)?? (Referring of course to Przystanek Woodstock)

Proposed merge with List of electronic dance music festivals
There is somewhat of an overlap in the coverage area: I'd rather have just one. ViperSnake151  Talk  02:19, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I've been slowly transferring the EDM list into the larger topic for a few weeks now, though there are still some left. But after that, I don't see how Category:Electronic dance music festivals wouldn't be good replacement. Earflaps (talk) 14:33, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Update: all transferred. Only thing left is the paragraph on festivals with large EDM components. Earflaps (talk) 18:52, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirected to section on the EDM page (excluding the entries which had no Wikipedia pages, which were transferred here first), with a link to this list as well. Earflaps (talk) 10:15, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
