Adding non-American musicians[edit]

Since the name of this article mentions the word American, I just removed every single new release by artists who are not American nor are from the United States. If we're going to list albums by bands like Black Sabbath or Dragonforce, we should create the 2012 in British music article and list their own albums. Anyone agree? 76.191.133.247 (talk) 22:02, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No. Nationality does not matter. And "United States" and "American" are the same thing, just so you know. And besides that, if you look at these same articles from past years, you'll see many non-American bands on those as well, so good luck reverting those if you're so gung-ho on this idea. In short, don't touch this article again, please. 71.249.246.218 (talk) 13:46, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
In addition, that doesn't mean 2012 in British music can't be created, but those artists belong here too. 71.249.246.218 (talk) 14:34, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It seems to me that American music is the music that is popular in the United States, even if it's Adele; British music is the music that is popular in Great Britain, even if it's Jay-Z. The 2012 in (Nationality) Music page should reflect that. Listmeister (talk) 02:44, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Things that would apply to all country pages should be listed in 2012 in music, like deaths for example. Otherwise, Robin Gibb and Whitney Houston should be listed under 2012 deaths for all "2012 in Fooian music" articles. Don't need so much repetition. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 17:05, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Adding non-"mainstream" music to timeline[edit]

Subject says it all; I feel like the "scheduled events" timeline is too centered on one genre of music (Mainly mainstream pop). As a supposedly unbiased article, I feel like this page should have more information about other genres. --Natalie Vita (talk) 21:01, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So, add more information about other genres. Information about popular music is going to be added first because popular music is, by definition, the most popular in terms of number of people who listen to it. That's not bias, it's just what's been written about. Listmeister (talk) 02:49, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
