List of students of Olivier Messiaen

Non-notable list. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 03:48, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. I wouldn't say this list is entirely non-notable. The teacher is himself notable, and some of his students appear to be as well. A list of a notable composer's students is of some interest. The list might be better included in the composer's page itself, but it should not be deleted.Wikigonish (talk) 05:03, 24 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge as separate section with article about Messianen. Suggest removing all students listed who are not wiki-notable. -- Quartermaster (talk) 09:51, 24 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment This list of students doesn't indicate a source. Where does one find an authoritative list of Messianen's students? -- Quartermaster (talk) 18:21, 24 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge in agreeance with Quartermaster. tj9991 (talk | contribs) 11:02, 24 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete At best, there should be a list in the Messaien article, not a separate article.-- Poetlister 13:26, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep and source. As for the red links, they should be checked to see if they should be articles, since about 2/3 of his students already have them. This sort of a very distinguished list is a suitable subarticle. Alternatively, merge, preserving content. DGG (talk) 08:31, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge- maybe include a list of Messiaen's "top ten" students and cull the rest. This is bordering on WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Reyk  YO!  00:24, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
