List of nationalistic pieces

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Article is not a list of nationalistic pieces (whatever that is) but a list of composers. The subject is also completely open to interpretation. Who’s to say what “nationalistic” means? Even experts conflict in their interpretations of this. This page obviously has no usable content and is original research. S.dedalus 00:15, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. How many more of these are there?  Torc2 00:23, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Many more. Category:Lists of pieces --S.dedalus 00:31, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Not all of those are AfD worthy though. The ones on polytonality and atonality are pretty objectively definable. Torc2 00:48, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Good thing too! My fingers are getting tired. :) (And yes I agree, there are some good ones.) --S.dedalus 01:09, 13 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom, "nationalistic" and "pieces" are not defined; massively open to COI on inclusions. SkierRMH 01:57, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. There are certainly nationalistic pieces, and a useful list might be made for them. But this is not that list. No sources = no assurance that this is anything more than the opinions of editors. Nick Graves 04:07, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete While there certainly were nationalist movements in music, this list is hopeless. Sibelius' Finlandia? Yes. Bach's Brandenburg Concertos? What the...?--Folantin 07:37, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per Nick Graves and Folantin. Moreschi Talk 08:59, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: Not changing my vote, but it's worth noting that AfD discussion of List of musical works in unusual time signatures establishes the a precedent that a list being unfinished (or unfinishable) and possibly subjective isn't a sufficient reason for deletion. A list like this can be acknowledged as perpetually incomplete and somewhat subjective and still be a worthwhile resource.  I just don't think 'nationalist' is a clearly defined genre of music.  Maybe a list of notable pieces with nationalist themes would work.  Torc2 09:34, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete overbroad opinion based categorization.  ALKIVAR &trade; &#x2622; 16:53, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
