Talk:Culture of Brisbane

message: This article page is for theatre including plays, opera, operetta, classical music by symphony orchestras, and ballet, as well as creative artists such as writers and sculptures etc.
The Popular entertainment in Brisbane article page is for pop music, rock and roll music and punk rock music, plus Brisbane nightclubs and bars.
The genres of the two articles are such that the two would not amalgamate - they are too different from each other, and would, in fact, clash with each other. Because of this fact, I am moving the list of notable Brisbanites for the popular entertainment section back to the Popular entertainment in Brisbane article where it belongs.

replies: text: The proposal for a merge was made when this article was Culture of Brisbane. I would have thought it more appropriate to structure this article as the composite Brisbane culture article, rather than have two forks. But you are perfectly right that the two as they stand would not be well amalgamated – which is why I didn't merge them at the start. The only way to have a comprehensive coverage of the Culture of Brisbane along the lines of, say, the Culture of London would be to convert these pages to prose and section them appropriately. --cj | talk 16:30, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Popular entertainment in Brisbane article has a large text to it about nightclubs, bars and the groups, musicians and singers of pop, rock & roll, and punk, so that any merging of the two, as you propose, would mean that the contents of this article would be swamped by information from the popular entertainment article to such an extent that the contents of this article would become almost 'invisible' as a result of such merging.  This is the reason why the two have always been kept separate.  I think that the two articles should be kept strictly apart, and any amalgamation left on the main Brisbane article page where it now is — and where it is shown that popular entertainment, and the people in popular entertainment, are mentioned on the main Brisbane article, while people in the classical performing arts are completely ignored.  The Brisbane article can be seen as a prototype of the kind of swamping by popular artists, over classical artists, which would inevitably happen in the type of article you have proposed.  Also, singers and musicians of the two music genres have been amalgamated on the Music of Brisbane article, so this should be enough. Figaro 22:58, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems fine. It's not without precedent either - Seattle does something similar.--cj | talk 01:40, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
