Welcome to the assessment department for WikiProject Musicians. This department is responsible for assessing all of the articles in the scope of the project. We work closely with the Wikipedia:1.0 program and use assessments internally to identify excellent contributions and articles that need attention.
Requests for assessment
[edit]If you have added an article to the project or would like an article reassessed please request assessment by adding a link to the bottom of this list (please remove from list after assessment):
- Virtual band - I'm not entirely certain if I should list it here for assessment, as it doesn't talk about a specific band, but virtual bands in general. WikiProject Music doesn't do assessments, so this is probably the most relevant project for this. Had a GA assessment a long time ago; it obviously isn't that good, probably a C+ at most. --JB Adder | Talk 00:52, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
- I am unsure what Wikiproject this would go under. ♫ Cricket02 (talk) 03:50, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
- Ivi Adamou – The article was assessed over a year ago by another WikiProject as B-class and I would like to know if it has improved since then. The article is (almost) entirely written by me. Dimitris talk 14:22, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
- Jonathan Cohler - This article was assessed as Start-Class several years ago. It has had dozens of sources added, and significant editing and organization since then. I am requesting reassessment. I am the subject of the article.--TheClarinetGuy talk 03:43, 21 January 2017 (UTC)
- Taylan Susam –wandelwtalk 11:42, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
- XXXTentacion - This article was originally assessed as start-class though I have put a lot of work into it, added a dozen sources and also edited it largely. This is a request for reassessment as I am hoping for a C class at minimum. WolvesS (talk) 00:56, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
- The Phenomenauts. Hello, I'd like to request an assessment please for The Phenomenauts. This article has been largely untouched for the past 6-10 years, and I recently made a number of edits. I have added: 109 references; five new free images; 3 new non-free images; four sample audio clips (all within fair use sizes); subtitles for the audio clips; and a band member timeline chart. I have added roughly 4,000 words to the article. I have grouped it into sections, and tried to do several passes at copyediting. I have tried to make it follow the WikiProject Musicians article guidelines I would like to propose it could now be rated as A class. Feedback is quite welcome. I created a feedback section on the Talk page to help. Thanks! --Culix (talk) 05:28, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
- Alfredo Antonini - was last assessed in 2008 as a Start-Class and has been expanded to include sections for Discography, Filmography, Awards and External links as well as enhancements to the biographical information and links to orchestra musicians who collaborated with him. Perhaps an upgrade in the assessment could be considered. Thanks in advance for your outstanding editorial assistance and best wishes for your continued success on Wikipedia!104.207.219.150 (talk) 22:36, 20 June 2018 (UTC)PS
- Julius Baker - was classified as a Start-Class in June 2007 and has since been enhanced to include an infobox, External Audio links box, photographs, links to noted orchestras including the New York Philharmonic and leading mujsic conservatories such as the Julliard School - Many thanks in advance for considering an upgrade in the assessment! Ciao 104.207.219.150 (talk) 22:47, 2 July 2018 (UTC)PS
- Howard Hanson - was classified as a Start Class in 2009. Since that time additional sections for "Compositional Style" and "Death" have been added along with photographs and External Audio Boxes linked to performances of Hanson's music. Also included are additional reference sources and citations from new publications about Hanson's directortship at the Eastman School of Music and his compositional output. Templates requesting additional reference citations have been removed. The list of compositions has also been enhanced. Perhaps an upgrade of the rating of the article can be arranged. Many thanks in advance. 104.207.219.150 (talk) 20:12, 20 January 2019 (UTC)PS
- Rosé (singer) - for B-Class status. DanielleTH (Say hi!) 04:29, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
- Henry Lewis (musician) - is classified as a stub but has been expanded with additional sections, references, a discography section and an info box. Kindly reassess when possible Thanks. 2620:65:8000:A203:85DC:6632:19E3:1D53 (talk) 17:40, 27 August 2019 (UTC)GCU
- Draft:Peter Holder (organist) – requesting assessment for acceptance to the article space. Thanks! LookLook36 (talk) 19:54, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
- Avicii - Assessed C-class in December 2014, the content of the article has changed significantly since then.Isi96 (talk) 13:18, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
- Sidor Belarsky - Kindly reassess this biography of an internationally recognized opera soloist and educator from Ukraine -- The article has been wikified with additional content and links to archives and recordings within a discography. I have tentatively upgraded it from Stub status to Start status but it might need an additional upgrade by a more experienced editor. Many thanks.160.72.80.178 (talk) 19:16, 30 October 2023 (UTC)NHPL
- Guy Lombardo - Currently assessed as a Start (in 200)7 and has since also been expanded to include content in a new Performances section, links to online performances and photographs and rewording of content to avoid copyright restrictions. The article may qualify as at least a B class and has been nominated for GA. Thanks! 160.72.81.86 (talk) 17:41, 11 December 2023 (UTC)GCL
- Wu-Lu – hadn't even noticed until just now that it's never been rated. May as well get that done. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 05:39, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

The following values may be used for the class parameter to describe the quality of the article (see Wikipedia:Content assessment for assessment criteria):
FA (for featured articles only; adds articles to Category:FA-Class biography (musicians) articles) | ![]() |
|
A (adds articles to Category:A-Class biography (musicians) articles) | ![]() |
|
GA (for good articles only; adds articles to Category:GA-Class biography (musicians) articles) | ![]() |
|
B (adds articles to Category:B-Class biography (musicians) articles) | B | |
C (adds articles to Category:C-Class biography (musicians) articles) | C | |

|
List (adds articles to Category:List-Class biography (musicians) articles) | List |
For non-standard grades and non-mainspace content, the following values may be used for the class parameter:
Quality scale
[edit]Class | Criteria | Reader's experience | Editing suggestions | Example |
---|---|---|---|---|
![]() |
The article has attained featured article status by passing an in-depth examination by impartial reviewers from WP:Featured article candidates. More detailed criteria
The article meets the featured article criteria:
A featured article exemplifies Wikipedia's very best work and is distinguished by professional standards of writing, presentation, and sourcing. In addition to meeting the policies regarding content for all Wikipedia articles, it has the following attributes.
|
Professional, outstanding, and thorough; a definitive source for encyclopedic information. | No further content additions should be necessary unless new information becomes available; further improvements to the prose quality are often possible. | Cleopatra (as of June 2018) |
![]() |
The article has attained featured list status by passing an in-depth examination by impartial reviewers from WP:Featured list candidates. More detailed criteria
The article meets the featured list criteria:
|
Professional standard; it comprehensively covers the defined scope, usually providing a complete set of items, and has annotations that provide useful and appropriate information about those items. | No further content additions should be necessary unless new information becomes available; further improvements to the prose quality are often possible. | List of dates predicted for apocalyptic events (as of May 2018) |
![]() |
The article is well organized and essentially complete, having been examined by impartial reviewers from a WikiProject or elsewhere. Good article status is not a requirement for A-Class. More detailed criteria
The article meets the A-Class criteria:
Provides a well-written, clear and complete description of the topic, as described in Wikipedia:Article development. It should be of a length suitable for the subject, appropriately structured, and be well referenced by a broad array of reliable sources. It should be well illustrated, with no copyright problems. Only minor style issues and other details need to be addressed before submission as a featured article candidate. See the A-Class assessment departments of some of the larger WikiProjects (e.g. WikiProject Military history). |
Very useful to readers. A fairly complete treatment of the subject. A non-expert in the subject would typically find nothing wanting. | Expert knowledge may be needed to tweak the article, and style problems may need solving. WP:Peer review may help. | Battle of Nam River (as of June 2014) |
![]() |
The article meets all of the good article criteria, and has been examined by one or more impartial reviewers from WP:Good article nominations. More detailed criteria
A good article is:
|
Useful to nearly all readers, with no obvious problems; approaching (though not necessarily equalling) the quality of a professional publication. | Some editing by subject and style experts is helpful; comparison with an existing featured article on a similar topic may highlight areas where content is weak or missing. | Discovery of the neutron (as of April 2019) |
B | The article meets all of the B-Class criteria. It is mostly complete and does not have major problems, but requires some further work to reach good article standards. More detailed criteria
|
Readers are not left wanting, although the content may not be complete enough to satisfy a serious student or researcher. | A few aspects of content and style need to be addressed. Expert knowledge may be needed. The inclusion of supporting materials should be considered if practical, and the article checked for general compliance with the Manual of Style and related style guidelines. | Psychology (as of January 2024) |
C | The article is substantial but is still missing important content or contains irrelevant material. The article should have some references to reliable sources, but may still have significant problems or require substantial cleanup. More detailed criteria
The article cites more than one reliable source and is better developed in style, structure, and quality than Start-Class, but it fails one or more of the criteria for B-Class. It may have some gaps or missing elements, or need editing for clarity, balance, or flow.
|
Useful to a casual reader, but would not provide a complete picture for even a moderately detailed study. | Considerable editing is needed to close gaps in content and solve cleanup problems. | Wing (as of June 2018) |
Start | An article that is developing but still quite incomplete. It may or may not cite adequate reliable sources. More detailed criteria
The article has a meaningful amount of good content, but it is still weak in many areas. The article has one or more of the following:
|
Provides some meaningful content, but most readers will need more. | Providing references to reliable sources should come first; the article also needs substantial improvement in content and organisation. Also improve the grammar, spelling, writing style and improve the jargon use. | Ball (as of September 2014) |
Stub | A very basic description of the topic. Meets none of the Start-Class criteria. | Provides very little meaningful content; may be little more than a dictionary definition. Readers probably see insufficiently developed features of the topic and may not see how the features of the topic are significant. | Any editing or additional material can be helpful. The provision of meaningful content should be a priority. The best solution for a Stub-class Article to step up to a Start-class Article is to add in referenced reasons of why the topic is significant. | Lineage (anthropology) (as of December 2014) |
List | Meets the criteria of a stand-alone list or set index article, which is an article that contains primarily a list, usually consisting of links to articles in a particular subject area. | There is no set format for a list, but its organization should be logical and useful to the reader. | Lists should be lists of live links to Wikipedia articles, appropriately named and organized. | List of literary movements |
Importance scale
[edit]Importance | Criteria | Example |
---|---|---|
Top | Subject is extremely important, even crucial, to its specific field. Reserved for subjects that have achieved international notability within their field. | Mick Jagger |
High | Subject is extremely notable, but has not achieved international notability, or is only notable within a particular continent. | Coldplay |
Mid | Subject is only notable within its particular field or subject and has achieved notability in a particular place or area. | America (band) |
Low | Subject is not particularly notable or significant even within its field of study. It may only be included to cover a specific part of a notable article. | 1927 (band) |
