Cello Sonata (Poulenc)

This lacks sources and appears to be a non-notable classical composition. Tyrenon (talk) 21:01, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep The article may lack sources but that does not mean that they do not exist. At the very least this should be merged and redirected to Francis Poulenc.  Drawn Some (talk) 21:24, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep - I would think any composition of one of the most prestigoius composers of the 20th Century is worthy of inclusion. This piece has been played and recored by some very distinctive musicians on notable labels; Jean-Guihen Queyras and Alexandre Tharaud on Harmonia Mundi, Raphael Wallfisch and John York on ASV Records  and Gilbert Kalish and Joel Krosnick on Arabesque Records for examples.  Also recorded and released on Naxos Records .  Even the sheet music was published by a notable publisher, United Music Publishers..  For the nom who identifies him/herself as an "educationist", this isn't helping students. --Oakshade (talk) 02:51, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - Don't understand the nominator's suggestion that this piece is non-notable. The article certainly needs improvement but that is not a valid reason for deletion. Rlendog (talk) 19:18, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. It is described as "magnificent" in a book, The adventures of a cello.
 * Keep. It was understandable that deletion was proposed when the 391 byte page was added by a brand-new editor, but we've got this page up to stub level (~1k) now. It could certainly use more expansion, but stubs of this size are not uncommon in WP:CM.DavidRF (talk) 19:32, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Article size should be irrelevant to a deletion discussion. Even when the article was 391 bytes, the subject of the article was notable, and should not have been deleted. Rlendog (talk) 18:29, 7 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep The sonatas by Francis Poulenc represent an important part of his oeuvre, and each sonata should have separated article. --Vejvančický (talk) 08:12, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
