External links issues

Hello, I patrol "External links" for compliance and found there are seven on this article. Three or four would be acceptable and possible five on a longer article with consensus. Would someone look at this for trimming the excess links? Thank you, Otr500 (talk) 20:56, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Article multiple issues

This 2008 article, having been tagged since 2008 as not citing any sources, has had no improvements. The article has a "Bibliography" section and seven "External links". I am going to tag and "Prod" this article because it is in bad shape, non-compliant with multiple policies and guidelines, and likely not notable. Otr500 (talk) 21:16, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

History section

As noted, this article has issues. While I disagree that notability is disputed, I think the lengthy section on the history of Gregorian chanting is unneeded and can be trimmed down to a link to the main article which, presumably, has all of the same info.

External links

Some things just grow during incremental edits and sometimes get out of hand. The "External links" section, one of the optional appendices, was expanded to 6 entries. Three seems to be an acceptable number, and of course, everyone has their favorite to try to add for a fourth. Consensus needs to determine this.

A tag indicates concerns of links. However, none is needed for article promotion.

Some links may be included in WP:ELNO, or What Wikipedia is not (policy) such as WP:NOTREPOSITORY or WP:NOTGUIDE.

WP:ELDEAD may apply.
In some cases ELCITE applies: Do not use {{cite web}} or other citation templates in the External links section. Citation templates are permitted in the Further reading section. Others, listed below:
ELpoints #3) states: Links in the "External links" section should be kept to a minimum. A lack of external links or a small number of external links is not a reason to add external links.
LINKFARM states: There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to the external links section of an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia. On articles about topics with many fansites, for example, including a link to one major fansite may be appropriate.
ELMIN: Minimize the number of links.

The External links guideline This page in a nutshell: External links in an article can be helpful to the reader, but they should be kept minimal, meritable, and directly relevant to the article. With rare exceptions, external links should not be used in the body of an article.

Second paragraph, acceptable external links include those that contain further research that is accurate and on-topic, information that could not be added to the article for reasons such as copyright or amount of detail, or other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article for reasons unrelated to its accuracy.

- Please also note:
WP:ELBURDEN: Disputed links should be excluded by default unless and until there is a consensus to include them. Please do not add back more links without consensus. Simple solution to facilitate career maintenance tag. Move links here for discussion.
