User:Eitch/Fiddler stubs needed

From WikiProjectMed
Jump to navigation Jump to search

From time to time, a redlinked fiddler is added to the List of fiddlers and the Fiddle article (the list from there is now at LoF talk page) Some of these are notable and should be included in Wikipedia.

If you think a fiddler is notable, boldface them in the list here, and include a note below the name saying that you verify they're notable. Then when someone wants to write stubs or articles, they can go straight for the boldfaced ones.

If you start a fiddler stub or article, make sure to put it in the appropriate Fiddlers by nationality and Fiddlers by genre categories.
