List of major music film awards apart from Academy Award

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This is a badly titled list that isn't what its name indicates: it isn't a list of awards, it's a list of individual composers organized on the arbitrary intersection of "has never been nominated for an Oscar" with "has been nominated for or won other film music awards besides the Oscar". This is not a notable intersection in its own right, and is effectively unmaintainable as a lot of people in that boat have not been listed here (Canadian Screen Award for Best Original Score alone is teeming with examples), and even for people who are included here there's no guarantee that a person will be removed from this list if and when they do pull off an Oscar nomination later on. (Update: I ran a list comparison in AWB, and there are seven people in this list who did receive Oscar nominations, mostly after this list was created but also including one person who had already been a nominee and was thus an outright error on the creator's part.) And for added bonus, the only sources cited here are one composer's biographical sketch on his own self-published website, and several film awards' own self-published databases of past winners and nominees -- there's no indication that these people get collectively analyzed as a group on a "composers who have won other awards but not this one" basis in any reliable sources, which is what would be required to justify a list like this. This simply is not an encyclopedically noteworthy intersection of characteristics, and even if it were keepable it would still have to be moved to a different title because the existing title is not accurate.

 * Delete So what? I'm very confused, should we have a list of actors good enough to be nominated for an Emmy or Golden Globe but not an Oscar? And directors and writers? Reywas92Talk 16:44, 25 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete: I agree this is badly titled and just a list of composers not been nominated for Oscar. Additionally it fails WP:GNG as even list article should contain reliable sources and it lacks reliable sources.Pri2000 (talk) 16:54, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. No sources have been provided to indicate that any reliable sources have ever written about this intersection, that is, composers who have been nominated for Golden Globes, BAFTA Awards, Grammy Awards, Emmy Awards, or International Film Music Critics Association without being nominated for an Oscar. Not to mention that the premise of the list seems to be that it's not good enough for a composer to win an Oscar if the award was in a song category rather than a score category. I look at this list and I see several Oscar winners in the Best Song category, such as T-Bone Burnett, Bob Dylan, Johnny Mandel, Tim Rice, Richard Rodgers, and Carly Simon. The Academy's music branch didn't snub them. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:09, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
