 * Keep - a discriminate list if I ever saw one. Wily D 14:38, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep- The references section could use a little work, but overall, the list seems perfectly acceptable by wiki standards. Umbralcorax (talk) 14:53, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is one of 131 similar articles in Category:Compositions by composer. Current practice is to split a subpage for compositions off composers' biographical articles if there are more than 20-30 works. (This is to keep down the size of the biography, make it more accessible and separate technical from general information.) These articles are not random collections of informaton - nor are they orphaned. (In this case there are links to the page from other articles.) Lists of compositions are an important part of music encyclopedias such as Grove - and should also be of this one. -- Klein  zach  14:54, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. As WilyD says, the list is selective, not indiscriminate, and it is not an orphan either (and being orphaned is not a criteria for deletion except for images).  Baileypalblue (talk) 14:56, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, I'm persuaded. This can be closed by WP:SNOW. THF (talk) 15:02, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
