Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/The Guinness Who's Who of Folk Music

This is a missing topics list for Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles. It is based on "The Guinness Who's Who of Folk Music", general editor Colin Larkin, published in 1993, which forms a part of the multi-volume Guinness Encyclopedia of Popular Music.

Editor's note: This list was published in 1993; it was considered to be a selection rather than a complete listing, but "attempt[s] to convey the flavour of the folk movement from Britain and America" of the time. Potential Wikipedia editors will no doubt find names of the day (or before) missing that might also merit a Wikipedia article, as well as possibly disputing the current "notability" (by Wikipedia standards) of some of the names included.

This list is provided since it may enable identification of folk-related acts deserving of a Wikipedia article, that do not yet have one. Acts with a red link can be considered for creation of a suitable article, or not, by the standards of today.

The lists have been first-pass checked for inconsistencies of spelling, etc., to enable the identification of correctly matching articles (e.g. the original name "Mara" in the list below has been adjusted to match the article "Mara!" via additional text in the wikilink). If any others are spotted, you are welcome to adjust the entries below.
