Re: Rigantona

 * Hi Gurch


 * I created a page titled Rigantona because I felt this duo I am part of should be included in the List of Early Music Ensembles. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_early_music_ensembles)


 * We are listed in the performers register of the International Study Group of Music Archaeology (http://www.musicarchaeology.org/index.php) under my name, Corwen ap Broch, we have worked and studied with leading academics in the field including Helen Leaf and Graeme Lawson, so you can see we are not the usual medieval banquet brigade. I do not think this entry was a vanity entry. There are only 4 or 5 ensembles in Europe trying to recreate the vernacular music of the Early middle ages (ie before 1000 AD or so) so I think we pass the significance test.


 * I quote from the 'Deletion of Vanity Articles': "Only those articles where there is no remotely plausible assertion of notability should be considered for Wikipedia:Speedy deletion."


 * Would you please re-instate my entry or otherwise provide me with the reason you deleted it so we can seek some resolution.


 * Thank you Corwen 09:10, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for bringing this to my attention. At the time the article was deleted, it gave some details about your name and the sort of music you perform, and linked to your website. Unfortunately, we have to keep in mind that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a directory, and if we accepted an article on every group of people who could supply such details, we would be swamped with such articles, most of them unsuitable for an encyclopedia.

The information you have supplied above, though, constitutes a much better assertion of significance. I will restore the article shortly, and I recommend you extend the article to include this information as soon as possible. Citing sources for an article greatly improves its quality, so in addition to the ISGMA link you mention above, a link or reference to an article concerning your group in a specialist or general publication would be useful. While I cannot guarantee that that someone else will not decide to delete the article again, this should provide a much better argument for keeping it.

Apologies for the delay, and I hope this clears things up a little – Gurch 10:42, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Links to your own website
I have reverted twice your addition of a link to Trondheim. Apparently this is a link to a website you own/maintain yourself, and in those cases you should be a little more careful, as you are biased in determining its applicability to the article. Please read WP:External links on the links general applicability (which I am not sure of), and especially the section there on links to your own websites. One way is to put the link on the talk page, and see of someone else finds the link appropriate. --Berland 08:02, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Pilgrim's Route
I stumbled across this page, Pilgrim's Route. Is this what you were missing, and is wikilinked (in red) from the Trondheim as Saint Olav's Way? --Berland 19:47, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
