Wikipedia:WikiProject Bagpipes

This project aims to bring together editors interested in working on articles related to all aspects of bagpiping. Migrated from Wikipedia:WikiProject Pipe Bands in December 2016.

Looking for quality photos of all players and pipe bands that have their own article.

How to assess notability for bagpipe-related articles, especially historical ones? Guidelines for music acts and groups. Notability comes from coverage in media, but there are certain ways a band or player can generate that coverage. If a band or player hasn't competed at a high level or produced some other form of media, coverage is much more likely to be primary - ie generated by them - or only a mention in passing.

Ways for a band to assert notability:

• Bands that have spent time in Grade 1 at any point in history - and the coverage associated with competing at this level
• Featuring prominently in major events

Ways for a solo player to become notable.

• Winning a Gold medal - there is only a finite number of these players
• As a touring musician

• List of bagpipe makers

• Schools and associations covered by Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)

• Only a few tunes meet the guidelines. Composers are more likely to be notable than tunes, and any useful information about a tune can also be said about the composer.
