[edit] Harry Potter music

Harry Potter music (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Non-encyclopedic, original research, fan and musical cruft. The article goes lengths to describe the music and its usage in the several Harry Potter films. Hedwig's Theme may be notable on itself, but there's hardly much that can be said about it. I loved the soundtracks but I can't really see any reason why we should keep this article. ☢ Ҡi∊ff⌇↯ 21:25, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Two of the scores were Oscar nominees, making them notable. The movies themselves are acceptable sources for describing when a given theme appears. Topic itself seems encyclopedic. Some cleanup does need to be done, and sources are needed for some statements, but I don't see anything that merits deletion. Shimeru 00:39, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per above. This article is rather crufty, it is true, but that doesn't mean it should be deleted. One reason wikipedia is great is that sometimes you will find articles like this one that go into bizarre depth about a topic that on its face does not appear to merit such in-depth treatment.

• Keep Obviously the music in Harry Potter is an encyclopedic topic, as Harry Potter itself is. At the most, you'd move the information to the individual pages on the movie, or even an article on the album itself. So I don't see any benefit to deletion. If you have any specific problems with the content, tag the article, bring it up on the talk page, or fix it yourself. Mister.Manticore 16:22, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and rewrite. If it was nominated and/or awarded an Oscar, it's something that can be considered encyclopedic. However, I do think that this article needs a lot of rewrite to avoid making it read like fancruft (at least, to me). It would also help if there are additional references/citations about any published studies/articles on the music score (say, from the film or music industry). Better still would be more details about the composition, orchestration, recording and editing of the score, replete with sources. --- Tito Pao 21:05, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
• Split and merge relevant information into Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (soundtrack) et al. Turn this page into a disambiguation page for the soundtracks. --RoninBK_ETC 11:33, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and major clean-up. As established above, it's notable, but the article certainly doesn't make it seem so. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 18:16, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
• Split and merge into respective film soundtrack articles. Although we could use Star Wars music as a guide for restructuring]].John Reaves 06:49, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
