Wikipedia:WikiProject Latin music/Tropical music

Welcome to the Tropical music taskforce Several Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of Tropical music, music originating from the Spanish Caribbean (Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, and the Caribbean coastal regions of Colombia and Venezuela) including but not limited to: salsa, merengue, bachata, cumbia (including Mexican), guajira, son, vallenato, mambo, and traditional bolero music from the Caribbean. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this taskforce will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please join the taskforce.

Guiding Ideas To be involved in discussions and debates relating to "Tropical music" including and not limited to: merges, citations, other references, image issues, splits, cleanup, formatting, and expansion. Reduce trivial information, speculation, point of view, and anything else that violates Wikipedia's core article policies. Bring numerous articles to Good Article, Featured Article, and/or Featured List status. For more help request feedback

Assessment Please add {{WikiProject Latin music|class|importance}} to the talk pages of any articles under this task force's scope. If you can, assess the articles class (other WikiProject banners may contain the class of the article), and the music-importance, the importance (top, high, mid, low or NA) to this task force). See here for more on assessing articles.

Inclusion criteria

The tropical music task force focuses on music from the Spanish Caribbean. Any Spanish-language album or song with a genre from the Caribbean falls under the task force scope. This includes any recording that has: ranked on the Billboard Tropical Albums and Tropical Songs (as of January 21, 2017 for the latter chart), received a Grammy nomination for Best Tropical Latin Album, received a Latin Grammy nomination in any of the categories in the Tropical field, and any nominations in the tropical field in any Latin music award ceremony. Many Latin record labels will also release a tropical version of a popular Latin song to boost its audience. Said version should only be covered by the tropical music taskforce if it demonstrates its own nobility per WP:NSONGS.
