[edit] Stub sorting

I've reverted the stub sorting attempt that listed Hassinger as an engineer. In terms of the wikipedia article that this stub notice links to, he wasn't an engineer.

There's no evidence that he had engineering qualifications, but even if he did, the profession of sound engineer typically doesn't, and that's what he's notable for. Andrewa 20:53, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

I thought of proposing a new stub category, but Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals asks for 30-60 stubs as examples that would fit any new proposed category. I doubt I can find that many. So, is there an existing category into which Hassinger does fit? Or must he stay with bio-stub? The problem with that is, it wastes people's time as it's not obvious that he's already been sorted.

Or, should we have an unsortable category, for all stubs which have been sorted but don't fit current subcategories? Andrewa 21:07, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Raised at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals#Unsortable stub category. Andrewa 21:22, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

How about {{music-bio-stub}}?--Carabinieri 21:20, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Good suggestion. I've gone to music-producer-stub, that seems a reasonably good fit for what he actually did, although he didn't get producer credit often if at all. (Similarly, he didn't ever get a management credit for the Electric Prunes AFAIK. But he was a lot more than simply a paid studio engineer, owning the band name for example.) Not entirely comfortable still.
An even better solution of course is to expand the stub so it doesn't need any stub notice! (;-> Andrewa 21:35, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
