 * Added plenty of sources. I don't get what your problem is. – Dyolf87 (talk) 16:23, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Added a few more. – Dyolf87 (talk) 16:37, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Some of the sources you added are fan sites, which can't be used as reliable sources on Wikipedia.
 * The others only mention in passing the fact that David Gilmour recorded some jams in a barn a while ago. That isn't sufficient coverage to satisfy WP:GNG — we need "significant coverage in reliable sources". Popcornfud (talk) 22:04, 3 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Merge/redirect to David Gilmour: Some reliable sources included, but the mentions of these sessions are very limited. There's enough that it would be worth including on Gilmour's page (which does not currently mention this), but not nearly enough for a standalone article, especially after cutting out all the fansite/unreliable coverage.
 * And Dyolf87, while it's great that you care about this article and brough a number of sources to it, your edit summary comment "because Popcornfud is acting like a baby" is not gonna fly. Stop that. QuietHere (talk &#124; contributions) 04:00, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I've added a bit of detail about the barn jams to the David Gilmour article. I agree it's worthy of mention but I don't see this amounting to more than a couple of sentences of coverage based on what we have in reliable sources. Popcornfud (talk) 14:50, 4 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Merge (selectively) to David Gilmour - First, as far as I can tell the title Barn Jams has never been used to encapsulate these recordings as a group. The sources typically say something like "recorded during a jam in a barn at Gilmour's house", while "Barn Jam" has been added to the titles of a few tracks that were released later. So there is no precise item called Barn Jams to qualify for an encyclopedic article of its own. However, the jams in the barn have been documented as providing tracks for multiple Gilmour albums so that can be described at his page. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 15:42, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
