Music (talk - history - links - logs)Edit

Generic concept, not needed. - Sikon 16:41, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

KeepEdit

1. Useful as a list for the various types of music. Which it currently isn't, but very well could be. "Canon but boring" isn't valid reason to delete. Havac 21:40, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
   • Why not a category, then? Gonk ^(Gonk!) 22:06, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
2. Jedimca0 ^{(Do or Do Not, There is No Try)} 21:42, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
3. If this is deleted, we better delete Jedi Rocks and the other songs that have articles.--Windu223 22:34, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

   No, those are very specific IU things. No one would argue that they be deleted. —Silly Dan _(talk) 01:01, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

4. Very Strong Keep, though needs a major revamp, but definitely keep! It can list genres, notable bands, and perhaps venues. And a history of music in the galaxy, though I don't know how much info on this there is. And how music is stored and distributed, though again, I don't know if there is such info available. Come on people, this is a Star Wars encyclopedia, and the Star Wars galaxy has very unique music! If this is deleted, it is a very sad day for Wookieepedia. --Azizlight 23:07, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
   • I keep seeing the word "list." That doesn't imply article. I agree that a well-developed category about music, with subcategories for what you just described, would be great. (Though "history of music in the galaxy" is way too broad; you'd have to go culture-by-culture.) An article on an album, yes. A song, yes. A form (jizz), yes. Technology (sound slug, as seen in GG9 IIRC), yes. Music itself: I just don't see the need. Gonk ^(Gonk!) 23:14, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
     • "Though "history of music in the galaxy" is way too broad; you'd have to go culture-by-culture.". That would be a good thing, and is more reason to keep the article IMO. We don't have to mention the music of every culture, but we could include some examples of the impact or role of music in other cultures. We could have a section on unique instruments too. By killing this article you are killing Wookieepedia. --Azizlight 23:25, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
5. A general topic, but one which can be written with entirely IU content, and at worst act as a set of links to other musical topics. —Silly Dan _(talk) 01:01, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
6. Keep and rewrite to a more IU focus. Per Azizlight, basically. - Lord Hydronium 01:38, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
7. It can be improved. Darth tader^(General) 01:41, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
8. Keep IU. We have OOU music stuff already. —Xwing328^(Talk) 01:42, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
9. Seriously, what is with the sudden wave of irrational deletionism? -- Darth Culator ^(Talk) 01:42, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

   QFE. --Azizlight 02:00, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

10. Keep but revamp. -- SFH 01:45, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
11. Revamp per Silly Dan and Aziz.--Valin Kenobi 20:53, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
12. Keep the music! Darthchristian ^(Hey!) 21:31, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
13. Could become great with just a little work. Darth Seth 17:25, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
14. Independently notable. Atarumaster88 20:05, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

MergeEdit

1. Every argument above can, I think, be satisfied with a list called Arts and music, much like Memory Alpha's. Gonk ^(Gonk!) 14:57, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

4. I know: let's have an article about water in the Star Wars universe! "Water is a chemical substance with molecules each made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom..." - Esjs 17:29, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
   • There is one... Gonk ^(Gonk!) 00:53, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
