Talk:Academic cantatas (Sibelius)

Split into two articles
My personal opinion is that there should be one article for the Cantata for the University Graduation Ceremonies of 1894 and a second article for the Cantata for the University Graduation Ceremonies of 1897. ~ Silence of Järvenpää 01:11, 24 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi, Wikishovel (great name, btw) ... Could you perhaps let me know what is the appropriate way to do this task? Thanks (and nice to meet you)! ~ Silence of Järvenpää 15:08, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello. Thank you for starting those excellent Sibelius articles, and your work on templates, etc. On the subject of splitting Academic cantatas, have you read WP:PROSPLIT? Proposing the split in a discussion might be the best course. I love music, but am probably too ignorant of musicology to contribute to the discussion, apart from on a practical level of actually moving the content around.

 * Thank you, for your help on this! I will look into the WP:PROSPLIT instructions you provided me to review. This is a situation that refers to two, unrelated compositions, even if the composer wrote them for similar purposes three years apart (i.e., the University of Helsinki encaenia in 1894 and 1897). My sense is that when  created the common article, they were doing so as part of the Sibelius-articles-expansion-effort that took place on occasion of the composer's 150th anniversary in 2015 ... kind of quick elimination of redlinks kind of thing. I should add that I wouldn't merely split the current content, but rather expand each article to start-class. Warmly, ~ Silence of Järvenpää 18:03, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
