Community music education programs

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This article is a list of music educations programs that is simply a directory contrary to WP:NOTDIR. Whpq (talk) 20:59, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I had drastically pruned the previous introduction as it consisted of unencyclopedic and inappropriate personal commentary and did not adhere to a neutral pont of view. Some of the programs listed are not explictly inspired by El Sistema (and may even pre-date it) and their inclusion violates Wikipedia guidelines on original research and synthesis. It equates actual schools such as the Boston Arts Academy and Conservatory Lab Charter School with community programs and the Learning Through Music Curriculum with El Sistema. They are very different. As such this is simply a link farm of loosely connected websites/organizations. The "Mission Statements" listed are copy/pasted from the respective websites which raises copyright issues. Even if deleted, the material will not be 'lost'. The creator had also pasted the article verbatim into El Sistema. It's now removed, but still in the edit history. Note that this was part of a class assignment for Longy School of Music students.

 * Delete - Re-include in the article El Sistema. As an article, Community music education programs could actually include anything you like, eg outreach for young people from or within youth clubs, community projects that visit residential homes, every local churches' musical outreach, any university music project that sends the students out into the community etc etc.  It is just far too wide a title as it stands to have any meaningful focus that avoids OR and POV.  --Jubilee♫ clipman  23:27, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
