Barbara Hannigan, conductor

Barbara Hannigan has conducted: Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Münchner Philharmoniker, Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, Helsinki Philharmoniker, WDR Symphony Orchestra, Mahler Chamber Orchestra, Accademia Nazionale Santa Cecilia, Gulbenkian Symphony Orchestra, Britten Sinfonia, London Sinfonietta, Avanti Chamber Orchestra, Ludwig [sic]

Barbara also sings and conducts simultaneously.

VCM05 (talk) 11:08, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This laundry list text is completely irrelevant. (Or as the Americans like to say: 'So what?') Every conductor guest-conducts somewhere. Barbara Hannigan is not special in that regard; no conductor is, male or female. Your use of 'Barbara' also implies a too-close connection to the subject. Wikipedia is not a PR-page, even though too many editors treat it as such. Either learn that basic rule, or do not edit here. DJRafe (talk) 23:51, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Past flaws in presentation

Previous versions were ridiculous in PR-like passages and laundry lists of ensembles that each conductor has led as a guest, and not necessarily with an affiliation with the ensemble. These rules need to apply, for the sakes of concision and usefulness:

Only list ensembles with which the conductor has a formal title or affiliation
NO PR-like hagiographic and granular, irrelevant text that distracts from points unique to each conductor

Criteria?

Jane Glover seems an obvious candidate for inclusion, being one of the best-known conductors and music commentators in the UK. Though to be honest, it's very difficult to see ANY inclusion criteria operating here. Whilst the text may pinpoint 'firsts' they are at times so trivial or so ambiguously phrased as to be pointless (eg Inma Shara - First female conductor who took the podium at the Vatican in 2008 - is the intended meaning that she was the first female to conduct at the Vatican? As phrased it could mean 5 or 6 other things and the source is a dead, non-musical, non-RS one) . Pincrete (talk) 11:03, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
