List of political composers

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Article gives no context, criteria for inclusion is unclear, and justification for any of the individual composers listed is nonexistent. Tagith (talk) 04:53, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, irrelevant grouping of people. Also OR. Punkmorten (talk) 08:11, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, very vague and fuzzy criteria for inclusion, questionable usefulness, and maybe just a spicy hint of OR as well. Lankiveil (talk) 11:49, 11 January 2008 (UTC).
 * Delete Exceptionally fuzzy I'd say, but the article has already admitted as much: "This page tries to list some composers whose works are related to politics." Emeraude (talk) 12:54, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Where is Ludwig van Beethoven, who retitled his third symphony in disgust after Napoleon crowned himself Emperor?  Just about any composer attached to a royal court, like for instance Jean-Baptiste Lully, might be called a political composer; they composed pieces commemorating state occasions, like Lully's grand motet Plaude Lætare Gallia.  There needs to be an article defining the subject first before a list can be supported. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:04, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Mostly an indiscriminate list, with only a few explanations, and no sources.  Mandsford (talk) 18:50, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per all above, especially Smerdis of Tlön. Pavel Vozenilek (talk) 21:57, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
