Keep convenience links to speaker’s TED talks
I have reverted the deletion of the convenience links to each speaker’s TED talks. The advantages of having these convenience links for our readers (see
Wikipedia:Convenience links) makes having them in this list, a justifiable exception to
WP:EL. Many readers who consult this list will want to find the TED talks of the speakers. We should not make that harder for them.
Without these convenience links a reader has to find the link in the speaker's Wikipedia article, OR search for the TED talks(s) on the web. Why should we put out readers to this extra work and time, just to meet
WP:EL? This is clearly one of the cases, where an exception to a content guideline has to be made. —

Hi,
Lentower. There is a link at the bottom of this article that contains TED talks by speaker, no? The reader doesn't even have to perform the less-than-difficult task of googling "TED Talks %Name%" to find them... In fact, I'm sure that link is probably updated far more reliably and timely than this article. This is a promotional link farm for TED and violates
WP:EL in spirit and letter. Thanks,

I agree with Stesmo. The place for the TED Talk links is in the external links section of each notable subject's article. I also agree we should remove speakers w/o an article as suggested below.

It has become a guideline-in-practice to only have
notable entries on Lists in the English Wikipedia. That is, entries that have articles. (Note the essay
WP:WTAF.)
The non-notable entries should be commented out, and the article's lede edited to reflect the change in inclusion policy. Many TED speakers without articles meet
WP:N or will in the future. Leaving them in the list, but commented out, will make it easy for editors to add the entry to the list for new articles, and find new article candidates.
I'd ask if you had anything positive to contribute, but having seen your "I'm only here to delete ELs, no matter what their value" style of editing before, I already know the answer to that.
External links must be in the references or external links sections. It is specifically prohibited to have named (linked from text) external links in the body of any article, including list articles. Wikipedia is not intended as a directory to external resources (see
WP:NOTLINK): list articles are intended solely as a directory to related Wikipedia articles.

This is one of the lists that demonstrates the need for better notability criteria for lists. We already have the category, which is by its nature restricted only to notable speakers. What's the non-
promotional value of this list? --

All TED speakers and talks (that appear on the TED website, and so have a TED ID) are now in Wikidata, so this article could be populated, and updated as new ones are added, automatically, from there. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing);
