Talk:Graham Waterhouse

String Sextet, Op.1
is too general a title to be used except as a disambiguation page. If you've written a string sextet Op.1, the page about it should be located at @ String Sextet, Op. 1 (Waterhouse) or similar, just as Symphony No. 1 is a page about symphonies no.1 in general, not that of the first person who happens to get "dibs" on the page title...

 * Only that when I do such a thing I get reverted, citing "unneeded precision". When we get to one more Op. 1 which is a string sextet, we can consider. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:13, 28 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Well, they should not be doing that, but. Reinhold Glière's String Sextet No.1, Op.1 (first of three), for one. I think Glière is a well-enough known composer, at least on the basis of the Red Poppy ballet and Ilya Murometz symphony.

Disclosure
As requested by the arbitration committee, I disclose that Graham Waterhouse has been a personal friend of mine for decades. I filled a red link when I wrote his biography in 2009, as my first article on Wikipedia (which was deleted within minutes). I try to be as neutral towards his works as those of others (Bach, Reger, Boulez) and base articles on reliable external sources. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:48, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
