Underlying policy

[edit]

Pages should be classified under their most relevant subcategory or subcategories. Supercategories would be populated only by subcategories, and will be kept as empty as possible.

Classification

[edit]

Singers should be classified by language and discipline using the format <mando/canto> <discipline>

  • List of disciplines (all under the supercategory "artist"):
singer (sings, doesn't play)
rapper (raps, doesn't sing)
instrumentalist (plays, doesn't sing)
songwriter (writes and/or composes)
singer-songwriter (sings, writes, and plays his/her own songs)

Notes: Out of all the disciplines, please put an artist into the ONE that fits best. If an artist has his/her own albums, and has written music either for him/herself or for others, he/she is a singer-songwriter. A minimum of five category members should be present before the category is created.

How to populate

[edit]

Place articles in the bolded categories.

C-pop

Mandopop artists -> create "List of Mandopop artists"
Mandopop singers - supercategory: Mandarin-language singers
(Mandopop instrumentalists)
(Mandopop songwriters)
Mandopop singer-songwriters - supercategory: Mandarin-language singers
Mandopop musical groups (includes groups and bands)
Cantopop artists -> create "List of Cantopop artists"
Cantopop singers - supercategory: Cantonese-language singers
(Cantopop instrumentalists)
(Cantopop songwriters)
Cantopop singer-songwriters - supercategory: Cantonese-language singers
Cantopop musical groups (includes groups and bands) - supercategory: Cantonese-language singers
C-pop albums

Cleaning up

[edit]

The Nationality/Discipline category tree is a complete mess. Having genders Format: <nationality> <discipline>

Here, instead of "artist," the main term is "musician." Populate the category that best fits the type of artist being profiled. If an artist is a singer-songwriter, populate BOTH <nationality> singer and <nationality> singer-songwriter. Don't fill in genders; I personally feel they're a bit absurd.

Nationality/gender/discipline (NGD) tree How to populate, using Taiwan as an example:

Taiwanese musicians

Taiwanese singers
Taiwanese singer-songwriters
(Taiwanese rappers)
Taiwanese musical groups

Try to pick as specific a category as possible.
