== Minor variations, overly niche pages == | |||
For the most part, I think these notability guidelines are pretty good; however, you have: | |||
* "Minor variations: Systems that differ only trivially from existing systems. For example, 17 equal divisions of 8/3, which is just 12edo with a slight octave stretch." | |||
This would tend to knock out more than you might want to knock out. For instance, although 17ed8/3 and 19ed3/1 are minor variations on 12edo, each of these is part of a series that has members that deviate considerably more from their nearest EDO. So they not only merit a mention, but should be able to keep their own articles to avoid interrupting the #ed8/3 and #ed3/1 series. | |||
Related to this, you have: | |||
* "High complexity: Temperaments of high complexity or EDOs with extremely high divisions (e.g. 31132edo), unless accompanied by a clear explanation of its utility or theoretical significance. This also includes temperaments and commas in impractical subgroups (e.g. 2.43.83)." | |||
The guideline about things being too niche due to high complexity would knock out pages for high EDOs and complicated(*) ratios that have not found use yet — these should probably be left alone, maybe after adding something like a {{tlx|niche}} tag. | |||
(*)We should be wary of using "complex" with respect to ratios unless we really mean it, since this has a specific mathematical meaning that is not generally what is intended here. | |||
