Badly formatted ungrammatical gibberish, as far as I can see: authors of what, exactly? -- ChrisO 00:23, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Probably a crap article. Question: Is it related to Enrico_Caruso? --*drew 01:27, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Incomprehensible. Gamaliel 01:55, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Is this a list of authors who wrote about Enrico Caruso, the members of a writing circle called Enrico Caruso, or is it a quest in the Enrico Caruso video game? Delete. Inky 03:23, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unless someone sheds light on the meaning it is daft, pointless and devoid of context Estel 12:58, Nov 3, 2004 (UTC)
 * Comment. I think it is very likely that this is a list of composers whose works were performed by Caruso, or perhaps (more narrowly) recorded by Caruso. I was mildly intrigued to see George M. Cohan on the list, and did a quick check, and indeed Caruso made a recording of Over There. If the contributor's English-language skills were good enough for me to figure out what the list is, it would be possible to clean up the English. The problem is that as it stands, it's almost as much work to verify what the article is about as it would be to compile a list of "composers recorded by Caruso." And I'm not sure that would be a worthwhile list anyway. Waiting to see what light anyone else can cast on this... [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 21:39, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * If Dpbsmith is right about what this list really is, then its title is godawful. In any case, the list is pointless (and can I add that I'm becoming increasingly more irritated with lists these days?). Hundreds of musicians have recorded works by hundreds of composers, and they don't all need be lists on wikipedia; his most important works can be mentioned on his page. Delete this. -R. fiend 18:44, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's clearly intended to be a list of composers whose works Enrico Caruso sang (and presumably recorded).  Not very useful; if it were a well-researched and well-formatted list of all of Caruso's recordings, i.e. a discography, including composers and titles, well then I might change my vote.  Can you imagine a similar list for every instrumentalist, singer, conductor, who ever lived?  How about a list of all performers who ever played Beethoven's music?  Ugh.
