Talk:List of string quartet ensembles

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Another good move I think would be to move the list of works (major and minor, with and without articles-about) of compositions for string quartet off of String quartet- a similar move has already been attempted with moderate success, with e.g. Violin concerto and other pages, leaving a list of pieces "near the center of the repertoire" on the concerto page itself. Though people still place their favorite pieces there, of course- as with any policy, to quote Scott Adams, it gives others a reason to say No. Schissel | Sound the Note! 12:52, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am still a bit confused- what about the article isn't sourced? That these quartets are recognized and others aren't, or that these are the right links, or...? (Oh, and I now see that the List of compositions for string quartet is in fact at List of string quartet composers. Maybe I should redirect...

I'm also confused; the entry American String Quartet redirects to the composition by Dvorak, not the performers....--Zeisseng 20:44, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What exactly does "recognized" mean in this context? Surely "well-known" or "notable"? 94.192.99.211 (talk) 20:55, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the question about "recognised" string quartets. There are hundreds of professional string quartets out there. What is the criteria for making the list or not making the list in this article. Unless that is defined, the list is meaningless. Heruvo (talk) 03:50, 5 September 2009 (UTC)Heruvo[reply]

Bizarre redirect

[edit]

I was redirected to this page from a search for "List of string quartets". This makes no sense. String quartet ensembles are not "string quartets". This is like searching for "guitar concertos" and instead being sent to a list of guitarists.

I do not have any qualms with this page itself, but "List of string quartets" should not redirect here. The ensembles are not the compositions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.89.176.249 (talk) 21:11, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Question: Most articles that are Lists require subjects entered to be Notable. Notable according to most Wikipedia definitions is having their own article, or at least having a blue link that mentions the subject. I tried removing all Redlinks in this article and it was reverted. I think this should follow the regular pattern of lists and only include ensembles that have an article already, and adding something like this to the Edit Page

"!NOTICE•

  • Only Ensembles that already have a Wikipedia article may appear here. This establishes notability.
  • Alphabetical by last name, please.
  • All others will be deleted without further explanation.

END OF NOTICE"--VVikingTalkEdits 16:20, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I was the editor who reverted. I strongly disagree with just including blue links in lists of this sort. Classical music remains fairly underpopulated and (last I looked, at least) many classical music lists include abundant red links... assuming good faith that the red-linked entries represent notable entities and might spur article creation. I have created such articles in the past, and many others do so much more prolifically/systematically.
Perhaps an edit notice to state all inclusions lacking an article must include a source of some description? Even a corporate website will include press clippings, notice of concerts in big-name venues, and the like, making it much easier to assess notability.

I think a reference that is a 3rd party RS. Many of these in the list are linked to their own webpage.VVikingTalkEdits 13:43, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The problem with that approach is that easily accessible 3rd party sources will tend to be reviews of a single concert or recording, which often give limited information on what the ensemble is generally known for. Espresso Addict (talk) 23:54, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
