Talk:List of composers of African descent

Redirect
Your redirect would seem to say that the only composers of African descent are all Americans! "African American" is not the same as "of African descent". The world is a very big place, and Africa is a very big place of its own, with composers of its own ... - David Gerard 11:15, Jan 17, 2004 (UTC)


 * First, if a composer was born and lived in African, I think it would be misleading to call this composer "of African descent" because this person is just "African". I invite you to make List of African composers. Secondly, you're right, and I just got around to changing the intro to reflect the pagemove, and am now able to add what I was originally going to title "Composers of the African diaspora", such as Samuel-Coleridge Taylor, of England.Hyacinth 04:33, 20 Jan 2004 (UTC)


 * Heh, that could have potential indeed! - David Gerard 14:17, Jan 20, 2004 (UTC)

Scope of this article
What is the intended scope of this article? Is this supposed to be "African-American composers"? Or "Composers who had some ancestors who came from somewhere in the continent of Africa at some point in the past"? Is any part of the continent valid - - e.g. could Moroccans, Egyptians be added? What about european-descent south africans? Is it only for diaspora, can people from Africa be included as well? --Obi-Wan Kenobi (talk) 16:58, 12 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Honestly, I really do not see a point in these African descent pages (we do not have this list for Asian, European, nor Oceanian descent; this list is entirely unique when it should be within a scope). Furthermore, a lot of people being included on this list aren't even verified of their African descent on their respective pages which would make some of these inclusions WP:OR.
