Maintainability

I have a request.

If you want to add articles about pop songs, then please go to CZ:Music Workgroup and from there create a link to a new policy page in which you lay out a suggested format and standards for articles about pop songs. Among these should be this important question: given that we lack the resources (and will continue to lack them for a long time) to manage a complete database of the songs of even very popular bands, what practical and well-reasoned criteria can we use to determine whether a song fits our maintainability requirements? On the latter, see CZ:Maintainability.

Sorry to give you so much work, but I'd like to do this right.  :-)

Also I suspect that with the limitless numbers of song names, it's best that we always affix "(song)" to the page title: Love Shack (song).

Thanks in advance! Larry Sanger 13:15, 5 February 2007 (CST)
