[edit] Start
Made a start on this topic, which I'm sure could be expanded much further than my meagre knowledge allows. You will note it's currently quite Anglo-centric. --Lancevortex 19:03, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)

The title of this article conflicts with Wikipedia:Naming conventions#Do not use an article name that suggests a hierarchy of articles. Hyacinth 20:22, 4 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- It does? The title doesn't suggest a hierarchy to me. --Camembert

- I guess not. But what about Music in politics? Hyacinth 01:27, 5 Jun 2004 (UTC)

- Having just read it for the first time, my understanding of Wikipedia:Naming conventions#Do not use an article name that suggests a hierarchy of articles is that one shouldn't create subpages, i.e. Politics/Music, and that Politics in Music is perfectly acceptable as an article title. Music in Politics is probably just as good though, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of point in changing it to that. --Lancevortex 12:19, 6 Jun 2004 (UTC)

- Hm, I dunno, music in politics suggests something a bit different to what this article seems to be about: it suggests to me an article about the role music plays in political life. For instance, fanfares when the Queen enters, "Hail to the Chief" for the President, that sort of thing. If you really don't like this title, maybe go with political music instead? But like I say, I think the current title is OK. --Camembert

- Good point, Camembert. --Lancevortex 14:36, 6 Jun 2004 (UTC)

- The title doesn't really matter to me. Either one is fine, but I do think this should be merged with the article Music in Politics, and rename it or keep the name of one of them. --Knx22knx

It seems articles of this sort will start to pop up more frequently since the music article is quite large. I don't find either title acceptible for an article purportedly about both. How about "Music and politics", using an "and" instead of an "in" and listing alphabetically music then politics. Hyacinth 06:56, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- My vote would be to change the title to "Music and politics" and merging this article with "Music in politics" as they both deal with very similar subjects, and the "Music in politics" article seems a bit lacking, even though it contains information that could be merged to this page.Tomorrowsashes 00:01, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Soviet Union
I added a bit on the Soviet Union. --YixilTesiphon
[edit] Needs better sourcing
This is possibly a good article topic, but we need to take care that we are not just presenting popular opinion as fact. A discussion on this subject within an encyclopedia needs to include in-line sources to support the claims being made. Currently that seems to be seriously lacking. -MrFizyx 14:41, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
