Notability guidelines
How to assess notability for bagpipe-related articles, especially historical ones? Guidelines for music acts and groups. Notability comes from coverage in media, but there are certain ways a band or player can generate that coverage. If a band or player hasn't competed at a high level or produced some other form of media, coverage is much more likely to be primary - ie generated by them - or only a mention in passing.

Pipe bands
Ways for a band to assert notability:
 * Bands that have spent time in Grade 1 at any point in history - and the coverage associated with competing at this level
 * Featuring prominently in major events

Solo players
Ways for a solo player to become notable.


 * Winning a Gold medal - there is only a finite number of these players
 * As a touring musician

Makers

 * List of bagpipe makers

Organisations

 * Schools and associations covered by Notability (organizations and companies)

Tunes

 * Only a few tunes meet the guidelines. Composers are more likely to be notable than tunes, and any useful information about a tune can also be said about the composer.

Key pages and categories

 * List of pipe bands
