Forum:CT Archive/Individual track articles

I recently discovered that we decided a couple years ago to not create articles for the actual tracks on a soundtrack unless they had their own specific theme/motif, and that we should create articles for all of the actual themes/motifs themselves. Personally, I find this to be incongruous with regard to the soundtracks as well as logic. Having articles for some tracks but not others just doesn't make sense to me&mdash;especially if we're going to make articles for every "theme/motif" that exists. I don't really care exactly what we do with the theme/motif articles and the individual track articles, but I do think that we need to be consistent and logical in our presentation of them. So I'm throwing out a vote to reorganize how we handle articles for individual tracks and themes/motifs.


 * Option 1: Keep things inconsistent as they are now&mdash;keep all the articles on themes/motifs, and only allow some articles on individual tracks
 * Option 2a: Create articles for each individual track off of the soundtracks, and keep all of the articles for themes/motifs
 * Option 2b: Create articles for each individual track off of the soundtracks, and delete/redirect all of the articles for themes/motifs
 * (Note that both 2a and 2b include creating articles for individual tracks, so in the case of a "no consensus" vote between the two it should result in creating the individual track articles and keeping the themes/motifs, since current policy allows the theme/motif articles)
 * Option 3: Redirect/merge all of the themes/motifs and all of the individual track articles to the appropriate soundtrack articles. All of the information on themes/motifs and the individual tracks could just be presented in the articles for the entire soundtracks themselves.

Please discuss any concerns, questions, further voting options, etc. in the Discussion area below. Thank you. Jonjedigrandmaster ( Talk ) 19:20, January 24, 2011 (UTC)

Option 3

 * 1) Call me crazy, but I don't see any reason that all of the information for individual tracks and themes/motifs couldn't just go into subsections of the full soundtrack articles themselves. Jonjedigrandmaster  ( Talk ) 19:20, January 24, 2011 (UTC)
