PickiPedia:Most wanted

The people and bands the bluegrass podcasts talk about most, that PickiPedia has no page for yet.

This is not a notability ranking. It counts how often somebody comes up across 9 shows and 705 episodes with an identified subject — a measure of what the music actually talks about rather than of what cleared an encyclopedia's bar. It will move as the shows keep publishing.

Writing one of these is the single most useful thing you can do here. Every episode listed beside a name is a primary source you can cite and a recording you can listen to first.

Talked about more than once

Mentioned once, not yet reviewed

Deliberately not linked. A name that turns up in two separate episodes is almost always a real person or band; a name that turns up once is about as likely to be a fragment of an episode title — "Basic Passing Chords", "Part Two", "Australia" — or the same person carrying a description, as in "Banjo Legend Tony Trischka". Linking them all would put several hundred junk redlinks on the wiki and drown Special:WantedPages, which is the thing that makes redlinks useful in the first place.

So they are listed as plain text, to be read and promoted by hand. If you recognise somebody here, they belong in the table above — and the parser probably needs a pattern so the next run finds them too.

How this is built

Generated by tools/podcast-most-wanted.py in cryptograss/pickipedia, from the subjects parsed out of episode titles. It is a snapshot — re-run it to refresh.

Once the episode pages exist, Special:WantedPages keeps its own version of this ranking automatically, across the whole wiki. What it will not tell you is which shows were talking about somebody, which is why this page also exists.
