Talk:List of neo-pagan festivals and events

message: This list includes many, many festivals which do not have WP articles. This seems by definition Wikipedia:Listcruft. Wikipedia:Lists (stand-alone lists)#Lists_of_people says this "Selected lists of people should be selected for importance/notability in that category and should have Wikipedia articles (or the reasonable expectation of an article in the future)." I'm going to clear away the deadwood. Pigman 20:03, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Listcruft

message: I deleted the Florida Pagan Gathering listing, which was just a link to their website. That's already in the work list above. If someone wants to write an article about this event, the list should be linked to that article. Until then, it should remain off this list like all the other events with no Wiki article.

thread_title: Florida Pagan Gathering

message: Should this, perhaps, be renamed "List of Neo-Pagan conferences and events"? I was expecting a list of the traditional festivals: the Quarter and Cross-Quarter days.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Per my recent edit, it seems useful to include at least some external links within the list itself.  Reviewing this talk page, I see this has been a point of disagreement in the past, but it's been several years since a non-bot posted here.   Some potential considerations for improving this article: 
* pairing redlinks together with external links in the main list: encouraging future articles without sacrificing current utility  
* separating extant/ongoing events from those of strictly historical interest (e.g., Gnosticon)
* listing places/sanctuaries that regularly & reliably host pagan events throughout the year: while specific offerings might vary from one year to the next, listing the "site" precludes separate entries for Beltane, Solstice, Samhain, etc.
* striving for a worldwide view of the topic
Collaborators hoping to improve this list overall should feel free to give me a shout. — HipLibrarianship talk 23:50, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I think this is a great idea, and am willing to help you (us!) with it. Are you doing it in a systematic way or as you see fit HipLibrarianship? --- FULBERT (talk) 13:06, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'd nearly forgotten this "call" here, but I'm glad to have a co-conspirator!  FWIW, I think I like the combination of redlink-with-external-link, at least for those events that appear to have some longevity (warranting their own article).  Yet perhaps its somewhat uneven with the other (newer, less established) events being directly external-linked.  It would be great to discuss pros/cons of this approach. I'm certainly open to any ideas that are Useful to the Average Reader (while being mindful of guidelines).  The only "systematic" step I took was to review the substantial "Working List" section above; since most  were migrated to this Talk Page in 2007 (with a few later additions), link rot was pretty widespread. In a handful of cases I searched for current URLs, but I was not consistent about that. — HipLibrarianship talk 04:00, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
