Criteria for inclusion

[edit]

To keep things manageable, please read and consider the following suggested criteria before adding content or including a new choir.

Whether to include. Choirs satisfying Wikipedia notability per WP:MUS can probably be included in most cases. This means that the group is sufficiently notable to meet Wikipedia's standards to have its own separate page. However, if the group is not Wikipedia-notable — and most are probably not — then consider the following factors:

  • Does the ensemble regularly perform choral music, i.e., does it appropriately belong on this page in a manner that most readers would commonly understand? (A somewhat subjective question.)
  • Does the ensemble regularly produce / present its own concerts, i.e., not just appear as a guest group at events organized by someone else?
  • Are performances regularly targeted and marketed to the general public, or just to particular subcommunities such as college campuses, church congregations, etc.?

How much to include. Please consider how much is appropriate to add, i.e., a few sentences, one sentence, or a quick mention. Ideally, the amount of content should present a rough reflection (proportionality) of a particular organization's general notability in the area's choral music landscape. For example, consider how a local person with no affiliations to particular groups might describe a particular choir to an outside observer who is writing about the city's choral landscape as a whole. This may change over time as choirs form, disappear, and/or experience gradual changes re: their overall notability and impact.

What to include. Adding significant content beyond the basics should be limited to things a neutral reader would find very notable about the group. Also, please remember that Wikipedia articles should be properly cited and neutral in tone. In the spirit of WP:MUS, citations to third-party sources, such as features or reviews in general publications like newspapers, can be very helpful in addition to just linking to an ensemble's website. This is particularly true if it is a borderline question of whether to include the group, or if the editor believes that including significantly more content about the ensemble is warranted.
