I prefer to distinguish 'it exists' and 'it exists and is useful'. Stubs are no real use to anyone, no matter what the language. Direct translations of the English page, that are linked from the English page aren't that useful to link directly to from here, if linking to all of them makes it difficult to find the one you want anyway. If a particular language is for some reason particularly useful then add that, it's hardly the end of the world if some artists get three links and some one, if that one is to the only really useful article. We likewise don't link to every fan page in existence, or every copy of a discography, and we don't automatically add links to every online store a CD is available at, even though multiple of each of these exist. We pick and choose 'the good ones'. Anyway, I'm really really not interested in more arguing. -- Lauri Watts _______________________________________________ Musicbrainz-style mailing list Musicbrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
