ATTN: EDITORS - RE: Nestor Mesta Chayres and Juan Arvizu
Hello fellow Wikipedian Editors: In the event that you have some free time kindly examine the new biographical articles Nestor Mesta Chayres and Juan Arvizu for a quality/importance assessment for the Wikiproject Latin Music. Each of these lyric tenors from Mexico achieved international acclaim interpreting the boleros of Agustín Lara and María Grever as well as the standard operatic repertoire and were held in high esteem both in North and South America as well as in Europe and new York during the 1930s and the 1940s. They also recorded extensively for RCA, RCA Victor, and Columbia Records in both North and South America with leading concert orchestras and radio orchestras including CBS. Juan Arvizu is credited with "discovering" the Mexican composer Agustín Lara in a café in Mexico and employing him as an accompanist on the piano. He is also recognized as one of the most successful recording artists on the RCA label of his time (credited with perfroming nearly 2,000 songs). The musical legacy of these two classically trained tenors has been archived for posterity on Archive.org as documented in the external links section (See: [1] and [2]
Enjoy and kindly accept my sincerest thanks in advance for your kind and thoughtful consideration. With best regards for the future success of Wikiproject Latin Music 72.69.152.90 (talk) 20:41, 7 April 2018 (UTC)JJ

I added a video to the top of the Reggaeton article but I'm curious to know what you all think about it. Is it appropriate? Is it better suited elsewhere? I thought it suited the article because it's rapping in Spanish and Snoop Dogg is in it at the end. This was right before his murder trial. Do you like it? Should I edit the video some, remove parts? Any ideas are appreciated and welcome.--The Eloquent Peasant (talk) 18:04, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
I've heard "Perreo" used a lot more to refere to the doggy-style reggaeton dance, more than "Sandungeo", the current article name. In fact, I'd never heard Sandungueo. If you see the article's talk page, someone thinks the article should be named "Perreo". Any ideas on this? Note: The page was originally named Perreo but it was moved in 2014. Lately, I've heard the dance referred to as "Perreo" a lot, even during the Telegramgate etc.--The Eloquent Peasant (talk) 03:30, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
Dear Erick,
Happy New Year/Decade! Hope you are keeping well and looking forward to another year of wiki accomplishments. Personally, there are a few articles I want to create in the near future (such as those you requested quite some time ago now, for Ibrahim Ferrer albums), plus other Cuban music articles to improve where I can; so, watch this space!
This morning, I was editing the very short article on Oscar Hernández Falcón and noticed it didn't have a stub template. So, I immediately looked in Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types/Culture#Music and its sub-sections, and was surprised not to find a bulleted entry for Cuban music stubs, or the more general Latin music stubs.
I then looked around a bit but, since I didn't find what I was looking for, I finally googled "Wikipedia Cuban music stubs", and found some Category templates that way, but there does not seem to be a Wikipedia page for Category:Cuban music stubs (or even a more general Category:Latin music stubs), like there is a page for Category:Canadian music stubs.
Please forgive me for being so dense in my old age, as I am sure I am not the only editor who'd like to find such stubs but, when you have the time, please could you tell me if there might be another way of finding these stubs, other than by looking into Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types/Culture#Music?
Otherwise, would it be possible for you to launch a sub-project to add an entry there, like there is for the other countries, such as the example I gave above for Canadian music stubs? It seems to me that this might make it easier to find them.
Thank you for any help you could offer, and for your patience with my lack of experience in locating stubs in any other way than by consulting Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types. Of course, this is not urgent at all and can certainly wait.
With kind regards for now;
Patrick. ツ Pdebee.(talk)(become old-fashioned!) 17:24, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
Dear fellow editors,
I have now found Category:Cuban musician stubs (note musician, not music), which lists three templates at the top left hand side of the page:
Are these really the only ones we have for Cuban music? Many thanks to anyone who knows if there are any more, and where they might be located.
With kind regards;
Patrick. ツ Pdebee.(talk)(become old-fashioned!) 10:20, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
see the comparisons articles covered by the same WikiProjects, but simply to be able to find stub templates where similar ones are already located for other countries. Thank you, anyway.

I hope the new year/decade is treating you all well! I just want to let you know that I have proposed an edit-a-thon dedicated to Latin music on Wikimedia which will hopefully take place in September! Last December, I spoke with the secretary of the Latin Recording Academy and was given two e-mails to send the proposal to. Here's my ideal outline for the proposal:
I would like to hear your thoughts and ideas on the proposed Latin music edit-a-thon. The last time an edit-a-thon dedicated to Latin music was done was in 2013, so I thought over the years so how it could be improved. I had kosboot to help me with who to reach for the proposed edit-a-thon. Thank you for taking your time to read this proposal! Erick (talk) 17:32, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
I 'm in. I participated in the Africa de-stubathon and that was interesting. Someone had created lists of articles and the goal was to destub articles, meaning to source everything and enlarge the article to at least 1500 bytes. So ... --The Eloquent Peasant (talk) 13:14, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
@Kosboot:, @AJona1992:, @Jaespinoza:, @The Eloquent Peasant:, @Victor Lopes:, @Brankestein:, Would you all take a look at this? I took the list from the last Latin music edit-a-thon and expanded it as well as dividing it into subcategories. Latin music is a huge field because of many subgenres it encompasses. I took the demographics of Miami into factor as well (side note: I live near Orlando, so this is all just assumptions). The majority of Hispanic/Latinxs living in Miami are those of Caribbean-origin, so that's Cubans, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Colombians, and Venezuelans. And then there's the generation gap as well. So the most likely fields of Latin music articles that will be under tropical/salsa, Latin pop, and reggaeton/urbano. Especially the latter since it is currently popular with Latinx millenials and zoomers. Of course, I also included the traditional fields for those who are looking into something that's not necessarily contemporary.
Assuming any Portuguese-language speakers were to attend, they will all likely be Brazilian, but I listed some music articles from Portugal for anyone who wants to edit them as well. While the Mexican population in Miami isn't as prevalent as the western side of the US, there exists a Instituto Cultural de México en Miami, so I could ask if they were willing to attend, which could be useful for the Regional Mexican field just like I could with Centro Cultural Brasil USA. kosboot, as the list shows, Latin music is a very diverse field, so I think we could ask each attendee when they enter which part of Latin music they are are interested in. Doesn't even have to be genre-specific either. It could like working on articles for women in Latin music or Afro-Latinx artists. By the way, any of you are allowed to edit the draft on my userspace for any suggestions or improvements. Mi casa es tu casa. Erick (talk) 19:58, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
@Kosboot: I added more columns and heading sections to make it easier to navigate. How does it look now? Erick (talk) 16:44, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
Hello, and sorry for the wait. That's an absolutely great idea. I wonder if there's anything the User Group I'm part of in Brazil can do to help. Victão Lopes Fala! 19:20, 7 March 2020 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay everyone. It's been a crazy month given what's going on in the world and I sort of took from Wikipedia. I'm going to start writing a draft on Microsoft Word. Erick (talk) 17:57, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
There is now an article on Argentine tango singer Osvaldo Peredo (musician). It could use some development. --Bejnar (talk) 18:14, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
Hello everyone!! I was reading the articles for Ozuna and Nicky Jam and noticed they could use significant improvement. They are both international stars with billions of views on Youtube, but their articles are extremely short. If anyone is interested in expanding the articles with me, that would be wonderful! Basilisk4u (talk) 18:20, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
Holi! I've been working on the most popular current artists in Latin music, but I also recently noticed that some of the most important salsa artists have pages that are incomplete and/or missing sources. I was wondering if anyone knows where to find reliable sources on these topics.
Some articles I would love to improve:
If anyone is interested in helping me find sources or adding to these pages, let me know! Un abrazo fuerte para todos. Basilisk4u (talk) 21:36, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi, everyone. There is a current discussion about her sales in her talk page. I tried to give my 2 cents about her sales, explaining him a claim sales for 30 million in her case are unrealistic for an artist who doesn't even appears in system of music certifications, e.g: AMPROFON (MEX), RIAA (USA) etc. And 17 million (or 16 million) are more realistic and aren't "old news" as he pointed out in his edit summary, just because a news reports came from 2013/2016 against the current source from 2018, IMHO. After all, these claim sales came from reliable sources as well. Anyway, you can see the talk page and I would appreciate any kind of participation. Thanks, --Apoxyomenus (talk) 17:44, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
The guidelines for using Billboard's Latin music charts has been updated at WP:CHARTS. You may use the Latin Airplay on any article from October 2012 onward regardless of language or genre of the song. In addition, the Latin pop, regional Mexican, tropical, and Latin rhythm may also be added to the song's charts provided that it hasn't ranked on any other Billboard genre charts like the Rhythmic, Dance Club/Electronic Songs, Pop Songs (Mainstream 40). If you have any questions, let me know. @Swe97:, @DovahDuck:, @AJona1992:, @DivaKnockouts: Erick (talk) 00:51, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

This article has been a one-line stub of questionable notability since 2011. Its one cited source, World music: the rough guide, Volume 2 (by Rough Guides) states here that Paja Brava is "among the more prominent followers of the Los Jairas model". This suggests the group might be notable and the article worth keeping, but in its current state it's not. I can't find any other sources, however, but the time period the group was active in and my lack of Spanish would make finding sources quite difficult in the first place. Could someone have a look and see if there's any coverage of Paja Brava that could be added to the article? Grupo Aymara and Khanata are articles about similar groups with a similar lack of sources. Any help is appreciated! Lennart97 (talk) 23:21, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

Hey I found this page archive with the official airplay chart in Uruguay before the site stopped.

Hey everyone I was speaking to another wikipedia editor and we have noticed that in wikipedia we lack articles about the different organizations that are affiliated with IFPI and provide charts and certifications for countries in America. We have decided to create the articles ourselves to be able to make it easier to publish charts and certifications from other countries. The other wikipedia user I spoke with is going to work on creating articles for Barbados and Jamaica since those are in English and I thought that we could work on getting the articles made for the Latin American organizations. I am starting with UNIMPRO which is for my native Perú but if anyone is interested in helping out with the other countries, the organizations are found here. I'm inviting Erick, 88marcus, Apoxyomenus, Swe97, and آرمین هویدایی to help out with this if you're interested, but if anyone else sees this post and is interested in taking part in creating articles for any of these organizations that would be great. Thank you and happy editing!!! =] FanDePopLatino (talk) 01:00, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
For a long time, the project's scope has been based on the Latin Grammys definition of "Latin music", which is basically music in Spanish and Portuguese (well and indigenous and dialects from Ibero-America/Peninsula but that is beside the point) and pretty much what Billboard and the RIAA already does. As the creator of this project and based on past discussions, I have supported that decision since both languages are "Latin" and to encompass as many musical styles from Ibero-America and the Iberian Peninsula. There is one thing that irked me about what they say vs what they actually mean. Here's what I'm talking about: This article this article, and even their website mentions covering Spanish- and Portuguese-language music from around the world. Sounds simple right? Well not quite. See, this application to be a member mentions that said record has to be released in Ibero-America.
I had based the project's scope on that application, but I've been reconsidering it and maybe make it less complicated for the scope, which is saying something considering "Latin music" is a complicated term that music journalists can't even agree on. I once e-mailed the Latin Grammys Awards about this and what they pretty much told me: Portuguese-language singers from Africa don't get nominated, not because of the countries they're from, but simply they don't submit products to the Latin Recording Academy. And this goes beyond Lusophone Africa. There's technically nothing stopping a Spanish-language album by a Chinese artist being nominated for a Latin Grammy except for one thing: money. Specifically, you have to pay a membership for a chance to even been considered for a nomination. While we overlap with members of the Latin Recording Academy, the major difference is this project and the Academy is that we are completely voluntarily and nobody here is required to pay to become a member. Basically, the Latin Recording Academy is a business and we are not. This is not a criticism of the Latin Recording Academy by the way, they do a good job of trying to cover as Latin music styles as possible. I even once asked Leila Cobo of Billboard (yes, that Leila Cobo) about this and this is what she said: "But as long as the language is more than 50% Spanish or Portuguese the origin does not matter in terms of our charts". WikiProjects are merely a group of editors who work on a specific topic area. "
So neither Billboard nor the Latin Recording Academy cares whether about the origin of the artist. And to reiterate what I said earlier, the only thing stopping a Spanish/Portuguese-speaking artist that doesn't come from Ibero-America/the Iberian Peninsula is money. In the case of the former, Billboard only tracks sales of "Latin music" (read music in Spanish or Portuguese) in the US and I already mentioned the reason for the latter. So why then, should WikiProject Latin music exclude Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking music just because they don't have the money to distribute their music to Ibero-America/the Iberian Pensinsual? As I stated several times, WikiProjects are not a business, they are completely voluntarily. We're not the ones handing out awards. We don't require compensation to be its own project. Even the new CEO of the Latin Recording Academy stated this in a recent interview with Rolling Stone: "At the end of the day, Latin music has been defined by Spanish and Portuguese, as well as other languages, so I think that should be the driver" (for reference, Abud is referring to the indigenous languages of Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula on the "other languages" part).
To be clear, this discussion is 'only about vocal recordings. Music from Ibero-America/the Iberian Peninsula is still the main focus of the project scope especially when Latin instrumental recordings are involved (that's a whole another league of its own and not the subject of this discussion). The proposal does not add countries to the project scope, but rather, its scope of the project to include more Spanish/Portuguese-speaking artists without regardless to their nationality. So to the active members, what do you say? Should Spanish/Portuguese music have to be released in Ibero-America/the Iberian Peninsula or should this project welcome any music in Spanish and Portuguese released anywhere in the world even if it hasn't been released in the aforementioned regions?

Greetings everyone, I have decided to create a draft to propose a edithon competition on Latin music-related articles. The competition mirrors Wiki Cup with awards given out to participants and top scorers. Now that the coronavirus has been settling down, let's have a summer-long competition with members of WikiProject Latin music and anyone else who is interested. Many, many, many times Magiciandude and I have proposed meet-ups and edithons with the first and only edithon done back in 2013. We need willing participants in order to successfully get this competition started. Dropdown your questions, concerns, and proposals, and let's discuss them.

I was hoping to start this edit a thon/competition for May 1 to run through September 1. But with May just a few days away and very little to no input from members of this project, I think it'll be necessary to move the competition to sometime in May or in June. The draft of the compeition is viewable, so if you are interested please take your time to look over it and provide suggestions (i.e., lower or higher points for certain contributions, more rewards, more emphasis on a topic, etc.) I'll go ahead and begin the sign-ups, if not enough participants are interested, I'll just archive this and wait for another time when more people are available or interested.

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.
)and turns it into something like
It will work on a variety of links, including those from ((cite web)), ((cite journal)) and ((doi)).
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

Hello all. I've been working on an article for renowned singer/actor Pedro Ruy-Blas. It has been declined for lack of primary sources. The primary source materials are in Spanish.

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class=
parameter to ((WikiProject banner shell)), which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to ((WikiProject banner shell)), and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass ((WPBannerMeta)) a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom
parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present. Aymatth2 (talk) 13:17, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
Howdy folks,
I've proposed merging Alcanzar una estrella II (album) with Alcanzar una estrella II, as well as merging Muñecos de Papel (album) and Alcanzar una estrella (album) with Alcanzar una estrella, and I thought your project might want to give some input given that these albums are all related to a Mexican telenovela series starring some big names (e.g. Ricky Martin) about musicians in Mexico.
Rationale: I could find no reviews for the albums, and the albums appears to be notable only because of the telenovelas. Thus, the albums do not meet the relevant notability guideline for albums (Per the guideline: "An album requires its own notability, and that notability is not inherited and requires independent evidence.").

There is a fairly in-depth article on the es:Conservatorio Nacional de Música (Guatemala) on the Spanish language wikipedia. If someone has the language skills to translate this to the English wiki, or write something of their own it would make a good addition to the English wikipedia's coverage of both Guatemala and the music of Latin America.4meter4 (talk) 19:18, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
Since AMPROFON is complete trash in terms of keeping archives, it's a pain to find sources for a song's peak position. There's apparently an archive on El Siglo de Torreón's website that lists the top ten songs (or, in the case of Buenos Aires, albums) of that particular week, but I can't seem to navigate it (it's basically a PDF). Here's an example. I've been putting unnecessary amounts of time into this, and I really need some help, as it has chart data for a lot of Latin American countries, and would make articles much more complete.

(I've been in contact with a member of this WikiGroup so I hope this is not too tangential.) I'd like to bring to your attention WikiConference North America 2023 to be held in Toronto 10-12 November. They are taking submissions now through June 15. Presentations in English, French and Spanish welcome. Please consider submitting! - kosboot (talk) 18:24, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

Earlier this year, WikiProject Albums had a discussion and removed the importance assessment. A few WikiProjects have follow suit while others are keeping it. I can see both sides of the argument on whether to keep it or remove it. I personally myself do not care if we keep it or not. I highly suggest looking at the discussion on the albums project page before deciding if we should keep it or remove it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Tiempo_Es_Oro_(album)
I went to the page for El Tiempo Es Oror for a random copyedit and while I found run-on sentences, I also found a large section bordering on advertisement for the album. This section included what appeared to be large swatches of personal research and judgement statements on the music.
I was wondering if someone more experienced then I in this field could help with this article. AevumNova (talk) 02:27, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
Nopem, a media research firm compiled music charts in Brazil, although didn't cover 100% of the market which reminds me other firms like NielsenBook (only 70% of coverage). Perhaps, it could be considered a suitable chart. Opinions? --Apoxyomenus (talk) 23:57, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

I have nominated Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame for FLC and could use some feedback. Erick (talk) 17:51, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
Hi everyone, we had previously discussed both above and here about using these charts that have rank the songs that received the most airplay in both Argentina and Uruguay. Several of us believe that the charts are reliable but we just needed a mention of them from a third party source (newspaper, another reliable website, etc.) before we could start using them. I've found this website which does mention the Argentina chart and even has a link as well as this one which has a link to show the same chart and you can verify that it's the same by comparison here and here. I can try to keep finding more but Erick, Markus WikiEditor, Apoxyomenus, Swe97, and آرمین هویدایی what do you guys think? Might it be okay to start using them?

There is a discussion at Talk:Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran that needs opinions regarding an edit war based on the singles in the infobox for the article. The discussion can be found at the article's talk page here. Thanks. HorrorLover555 (talk) 03:38, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
Hi everyone, I've recently been working on adding sources to the list of number one singles in Perú from the 1960s. I completed 1963 but I could use some help with completing 1962, 1964, 1965, and 1966 if anyone has time and is interested. The sources are found in archives of Billboard magazine in their "Hits of the World" section. FanDePopLatino (talk) 13:48, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
