[edit] Your recent additions of crossover artist articles

In case you were wondering why these articles were nominated for deletion, these articles exsisted before and were deleted by a Wikipedia: Articles for deletion. You will have to go back and look at that AFD ruling to see why. Best of luck to your editing and I hope this doesn't frustrate you. If you have any questions feel free to contact me on my talk page. Have a good day.Nrswanson (talk) 19:46, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Recreation of deleted material

Hi GothGrrrl. I'm sorry but I had to remove those lists from Voice classification in non-classical music‎. Material deleted by an AFD ruling should not be recreated under a different article unless the reasons for said deletion have been properly addressed which in this case they haven't. Problems with said lists were largely related to the impossible task of verifying the truth of such lists. Most contemporary artists do not identify themselves with standard voice type definitions. As a result, such lists are highly unstable and create edit wars. That is only one of several problems identified. I suggest you go back and look at the AFD discussion and ruling which is quite lengthy.Nrswanson (talk) 22:28, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm afraid your suggestion, although creative, is highly unlikely to be approved. Protecting pages for an extended period of time is rarely done (there are only a couple examples) and in this case not warranted. The major issue with lists of crossover artists is verifying the accuracy or truth of such a list. The lists you created had no independent third party sources and therefore protecting such a list would be pointless unless multiple independent sources can be found.Nrswanson (talk) 21:40, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
