 * Delete on grounds that TNT is needed. It is near-certain that a good article could be written about silent music, or silence used in music, but the current article is in dreadful shape. It's very badly sourced, it includes random non-sequiturs and bits of terminology snatched from other fields without explanation, justification or reference. It includes all sorts of things that aren't silent music, ranging from performance art (which isn't really music) through to algorithmically-generated music, which is certainly not silent. Classing unfinished compositions as silent because they only existed in the composer's mind is verging on dishonest, and imaginary music is no more silent than an imaginary picture lacks colour. The only bits of the article that are in any way usable are the accounts of genuine silent compositions, and these overlap with List_of_silent_musical_compositions, of which the current article will be a pointless fork if we remove all the irrelevance and unsourced nonsense.

 * Delete per the arguments above; there's at least one potentially interesting topic here, but trimming away all the parts that are more like a blog post than an encyclopedia article would leave nothing. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 15:30, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
