[Untitled][edit]

On this page, 2009 contestants include Bangladesh, but don't include Laos. On the 2009 contest page, contestants include Laos but don'ti nclude Bangladesh. Which is correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.4.83.54 (talk • contribs)

Fixed, Bangladesh is not mentioned in any sources, but Laos is. -- [[ axg ⁞⁞ talk ]] 23:25, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Time[edit]

Is it time we created a WikiProject team for this group? Or should it all come under the "Eurovision" banner, and allow WikiProject Eurovision to look after this under its umbrella? (Pr3st0n (talk) 02:46, 20 September 2009 (UTC))[reply]

I go with the former. But until now sources in the media is scarce. Wait until the page has grown. KamalSagraha (talk) 09:59, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

More source per-June 2010[edit]

Article from ESCDaily.com. New information includes Cambodia's national selections, reasons why the contest was pushed back to 2010 and a voting system different to that of the Eurovision but similar to Asian Idol. KamalSagraha (talk) 10:07, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move[edit]

Our Sound → ABU Song Festivals – This contest has had two name changes in its time, originally planned to be named Asiavision Song Contest, and then changed in 2010 to Our Sound: The Asia-Pacific Song Contest. The Our Sound's first contest was suppose to take place in Mumbai, India - first in 2010, and then 2011 (during the ABU's 48th general assembly) - until they pulled out for unknown reasons. South Korea (host of the 49th ABU General assembly) have now stepped in and are organising two shows called ABU Radio Song Festival and ABU TV Song Festival. Basically the same contest but now under a third name. Moving this article to reflect this resent name change keeps in-line with WP:V and WP:RECENT. Wesley Mouse 22:24, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm debating these reasons. My arguments are located at Talk:ABU_Song_Festivals_2012. Clearly two independent and unrelated events. However, my proposal also includes creation of the parent page ABU Song Festivals with closing Our Sound page as not notable event. Thus, despite the arguments and reasons are different, I agree on the contents of Our Sound to be moved to ABU Song Festivals and then they should be presented there in essential minimum in order to help users not to confuse these two events. Ruslanovich (talk) 17:39, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support a move.--BabbaQ (talk) 17:41, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note to closing party - There is currently a discussion taking place regarding keeping ABU Song Festivals as an article in its own right, and giving maintenance work to this one by cleaning up old text, and modifying sections to reflect current affairs. So I hereby withdraw my request for move at this time. Wesley Mouse 00:17, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I believe Our Sound isn't the correct name as it is registered to a private company, not ABU.Josh (talk) 07:57, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on ABU Song Festivals. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

About Eurovision Asia[edit]

I may be totally wrong, but it seems to me that Eurovision Asia and Asia-Pacific ABU Song Contest are not the same thing. The first was to be held in Australia, with now actually three potential host countries and was named Asiavision (see there and there), the second in China yes, but I don't see anywhere else a mention of a contest to be held in China. Besides, Eurovision Asia was born from a partnership between EBU and SBS (see there again) which is not the case of Pacific-Asia ABU Song Contest (see the eurovoix-world sources in the article). Opinions ? Yoyo 360^{Wanna talk?} 19:50, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

PS, if I'm not clear enough in my reasoning, feel free to tell, I'll do my best to explain my point of view, I may have expressed myself badly Yoyo 360^{Wanna talk?} 19:52, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

I do completely agree with you on the fact that both festivals aren't alike. May you take a look at the several sources for a second time in order to make a proper difference between these two? Wikays (talk) 20:27, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I got one more argument in fact. It is stated here the Eurovision Asia was announced back in March 2016 whereas the source announcing Asia-Pacifc ABU thing was in October (see there) Yoyo 360^{Wanna talk?} 20:33, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
