List of recordings of compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

As has been noted on the talk page, the idea of a single page of a list of recordings by Bach is quite hopeless. There have been thousands made, and there is no way to rank them by notability. Also, there is a website www.jsbach.org that have a database system for Bach recordings which is incidentally linked from the main wikipedia Bach page. Clavecin 12:01, 5 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete This appears to be just an indiscriminate list of recordings. What is the puropose of the page? Why does it matter where, when, or how the music was recorded? It does not even fall into this category. A pointless article. -- Cy ru s      An dir on   14:46, 5 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Weak delete We do not generally delete articles because they subject is also covered in an outside web site. The point of having an encyclopedia is to be more reliable and stable--otherwise every last one of the movie articles could go,since they're in IMDB. But since only a small part of Bach's work is included, the material would be much better as discographies for the individual compositions. DGG 04:16, 6 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete - This article is not needed. There are perhaps hundreds, if not thousands of recordings of Bach's works, and listing them all would be utterly meaningless and pointless, for they all are variations of the same music. I deem this article unnecessary. - XX55XX 19:43, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete JS Bach was one of the most prolific composers in history, and probably the most recorded. Every single classical record label has many tens, often hundreds and in some cases thousands of Bach recordings in their catalogues.  Truly notable Bach recordings, such as Glenn Gould's Goldberg Variations, Wendy Carlos' Well Tempered Synthesizer or the John Eliot Gardiner cycle, can go in a category, as and when they have articles.
