thread_title:  Split the article 

message: Greetings, I'm reviewing the articles on scooters and noticed this one has no references in it. To improve wikipedia and meet its notability standards, I would suggest editiors to provide some references to reliable sources. I would do it on my own but due to recently providing volunteer work which is also an article on scooter company, it would be highly inappropriate of me to search for sources and edit on my own. Hope Malaysian Wikipedians can cover this.MartinOrl087 (talk) 10:43, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club

message: I do think it should be included in the Ronnie Scott's Club section- after all the magazine was published for 26 years and was well known in the jazz circles. It documented all the activities of the Club plus produced some really great articles on jazz in general and great humorous writing by Jim Godbolt which itself is a credit to jazz literature- shame that the new management got rid of the old website which had the record of all the writing for at least 65 issues (11 years) - some of which, at this stage, only survives in the printed version in the libraries
::Disagree. I'm all for consensus - especially when it goes my way :) - but I strongly feel that one of Wikipedia's greatest strengths is its wikilinks (and interlinks), resulting in articles being suffiently succinct, specific & self-contained but providing said links for readers to get further information if they want/have time. Nothing is more off-putting, especially on a computer screen, than having to wade through long paragraphs. Apart from the mutual wikilinks, a See also section should suffice. Cheers! --Technopat (talk) 10:21, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Disagree (or rather agree with Technopat). The magazine was widely available in London, and would have been read by people who never visited the Club. So a separate article is more valid. Philip Cross (talk) 17:18, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Re: Live albums recorded at Ronnie's 

message: Greetings All,
Given the importance of Ronnie's and the visiting artists, I think it might be interesting to give a chronology of the various line-ups of the house band, which at various moments was made up of many important names on the British jazz scene. I don't have any actual data, but mention is made on many individual article pages of musicians who were members of said band. It might likewise be interesting to note whether the visiting "star" was accompanied by the house band or by his/her own band. The article page for Ronnie Scott has an incomplete subsection with the line-ups of some of the bands he led, but the musicians don't necessary coincide. Any feedback?

Talk:Nanjing Olympic Sports Centre

message: Can someone with a better understanding of Wikipedia guidelines take a look at this page please?
I came on this page looking or some critical information speaking to why a city built an entire Olympic park without holding or being awarded or even bidding for an Olympic Games.  This page mostly speaks about the capacity of venues and that the play/match areas are all Olympic standard. I could be wrong, which is why I am requesting assistance, but I think this page sounds like a brochure for the place.
Biggest issue to me is that there is only one source: the designer of the complex.
Thank you for your time in addressing my request.

Wikipedia talk:Notability (cemeteries)

message: I disagree with the need for a separate guideline for cemeteries. WP:NOTE works perfectly well. As for the criteria, 1) is the WP:NOTE criterium, 2 is completely arbitrary, and 3) is purely US-centric (i.e. we would need to specify for each country which cemeteries are inherently notable). As for the last line: why should they be merged? Many cemeteries are of no interest whatsoever, and don't need a mention in the town article and a redirect. All towns (more or less) have a town hall, churhces or mosques or temples, cemeteries, post offices, libraries, elementary schools, bakeries, main streets, market places, ... There is no need to list or mention these, unless they are of specific interest. Cemeteries which are of some interest but would probably stay a stub anyway can be merged, of course: but cemeteries which just exist but have nothing special or noteworthy should not be mentioned at all, just like every other aspect of a town. 
Specific notability guidelines may be a good idea for wide ranges of articles (WP:BIO, WP:MUSIC), but this is overkill. My proposal is to reject this proposal, and just follow the general notability guideline. Fram 13:45, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Take a look at WP:LOCAL. It does not seem necessary to have a separate guideline for cemeteries, if one for local monuments (and so forth) can be written instead. >Radiant< 11:50, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Having said that, it might still be better to refocus the article on cane syrup in general, while still using the content about Steen's.  In either event, this article is not appropriate for summary deletion under WP:Proposed deletion, which is intended for articles whose deletion is expected to be uncontroversial. I've removed the prod notice, but I am open to the possibility that the article might be renamed to cane syrup and reworded accordingly; in that event the current title Steen's cane syrup would become a redirect to cane syrup, but I think nearly all of the current content would still be usable. --Arxiloxos (talk) 18:46, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
