Hi Dave, I have removed the excessively long list from Vanacore Music article completely. I had placed a maintenance template twice linking to the appropriate style guides, but you removed these and actually made the list longer. We are an encyclopedia - we summarize information from secondary sources. An exhaustive credits list is inappropriate. If you're trying to advance the interests of your company ahead of the aims of this encyclopedia, then we have a conflict of interest. Marasmusine (talk) 07:35, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi Dave, yes you're right, the advert tag needs removing. So I have done that. With regards the list of credits, I can only repeat what I've mentioned above: we should provide a summary of the works Vanacore Music has been involved with, but not an indiscriminate list. I've leave it to your judgement as to the most significant works to be mentioned. My recommendation is to gather some reliable, secondary sources and see which works they mention. If this stumps you, then leave me another message and I'll help how I can. Thanks, Marasmusine (talk) 18:41, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi Marasmusine, Sorry for removing the maintenance template. Honestly I'm not sure how you use the template or how I erased the link. If you could help me with this it would be greatly appreciated.

If I list the most significant works Vanacore has worked on, how many is the max I should list so the list is not removed? As long as these shows have reliable secondary sources backing them up, is it appropriate for me to list them? Another question, I have an ASCAP link at the bottom that lists many of these shows. Is that considered to be a reliable, secondary source? If so, can all those shows be listed? If not, how many should be listed.

Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate it.
