Removing "By composer"
I've been expanding the "By composer" section, until I've realized just how massive this would have to be. Right now, there are around 80 entries. PetScan shows another 280 missing:

This would be unfeasible for this navbox. Thus, I'm proposing to delete the entire group. As far I can see, almost none of the composition pages linked right now actually transclude the navbox. intforce (talk) 02:04, 19 January 2021 (UTC)


 * I have no objection to this and it seems that Francis has gone ahead and removed them. I wonder if we could do something similar to Template:Lists of paintings and sort by period? Seems like an appropriate alternative in my mind. Aza24 (talk) 06:23, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
 * The template is useless at the moment. The edits deleting the template have not been explained. Before those deletions, Ravel and Debussy could not really be described as Romantic composers, cf Chansons madécasses or Études (Debussy)? Mathsci (talk) 07:25, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I never met this template, and find it useless, with or without composers. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:51, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't find adding every composer to be feasible or frankly useful. That being said, I think that the instruments/ensemble pages (e.g Viola A-B or Concert Band, etc.) should be kept as is or even expanded. (edit) Actually, this may be a good time to talk about Viola A-B and all the other following pages. Why are we listing 10,500 works that just happen to have the viola; even by composers without their own pages? Why? I Ask (talk) 00:18, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
 * cleaning up in accordance to your suggestions. --Francis Schonken (talk) 06:16, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I believe that we need to delete some pages themselves. Pages such as List of compositions for arpeggione or Jew's harp music can either be combined with their parent pages or just outright deleted considering none of the works listed on those pages are notable enough for their own articles
 * ... which is not something to be discussed or decided on this template talk page: should be raised in an appropriate place (unless if WP:BOLD action suffices). --Francis Schonken (talk) 04:52, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
