Comparative view of jazz and Indian classical music

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

As noted by all the editors who have tagged this, this page is OR, is not notable enough for its own article, is written like an essay, and is orphaned. There are much more substantive genre comparisons possible that don't have pages, and if we're going to compare various styles of music, this is far too obscure a place to start. I would suggest merging, but the pages sitar in jazz and indo jazz have this covered extensively. Conical Johnson (talk) 22:13, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge into Indo jazz - it does not seem to be entirely original, but perhaps a synthesis, and has two sources. Neither does it appear to be notable by itself - perhaps make it a section within the larger article. If the plan is to merge, then this AfD can be closed early.

 * As noted above, there isn't anything of substance in this article that could be merged into the Indo jazz article. All this article does is describe a few concepts of Indian music and jazz music (all of which are covered on the respective mages of those two styles), and conclude that one thing they have in common is the fact they are partially composed and partially improvised. This is the case with an enormous amount of music, from rock to pop to electronic to hip hop, and even much early Western classical music, and is nothing special or worthy of note, except maybe on the article for music in general.

 * Delete, more like a personal essay than an article. Content appears to have remained essentially unchanged for over two and a half years. J I P  | Talk 05:16, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
