Assessment completed
As per either a recent request at section for assessment requests or because this article was listed as fully or partly unassessed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/Assessment I have just now completed a rating of the article and posted my results to this page. Those results are detailed above in the template box. Unfortunately, due to the volume of articles that need to be assessed, I am unable to leave detailed comments other than to make the following brief observation: requires references and other ways for reader to verify content . However if you have specific questions, please write to me on my talk page and as time permits I will try to provide you with my reasoning. Please put my talk page on your watchlist if you do ask such a question because in the case of these responses I will only post my answer underneath your question. ALSO if you do not agree with the rating you can list it in the section for assessment requests below, and someone will take a look at it.--VS ^talk 12:41, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge from ABC Classics

I'm proposing this merge after doing quite a lot of work trying to rationalise and properly document the various components of the ABC, which have changed over time. With no dedicated page or website of its own, and as far as I can see only listed as a genre on the ABC Music website now, I cannot see a case for keeping a separate article which gets very few page views (under 10 throughout the past 90 days). Also, it seems to have changed its name from ABC Classics ([1], [2]) to ABC Classic ([3], [4]). The only separate imprint linked to from the ABC Music website now is Four Four, so perhaps there's a slightly stronger case for keeping that one... but the page views are even lower there, so I wouldn't be averse to just including that in a section in this article too.

I agree with the proposed merge and think that Four Four should go also be merged in as an imprint. The redirect from ABC Classics will allow people to find the section if they don't think of it as an imprint. If the section on ABC Classic gets too much information in it then it can be split up but I don't think it likely in the near future. Gusfriend (talk) 06:10, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Gusfriend. I have just merged ABC Classics. I'll come back to Four Four later. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 06:41, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
