Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/MidiNotate Musician

This page is an archive of the proposed deletion of the article below. Further comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was REDIRECT to MidiNotate Composer. The AfD on that article resulted in no consensus after the rewrite, and there is clearly grounds for retaining this as a redirect to the larger article — as implied by the author's final comment. -Splash^talk 00:12, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

• Comment: where do you see an ad or self-promo? I don't see it myself... -- Grev -- Talk 02:32, September 10, 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: This article is in keeping with other articles about other music software in the same category. I used the other articles as examples to work from, and was offering this information to inform others about what types of music software programs are available. You can check out the other articles in the same category, and I think you will find that they are in the same vein as this one. Sherryc 03:16, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
• "This product allows you to..." is promotional copy if I've ever seen it -- second person isn't the usual writing standard at WP. It's fine to model your articles on related ones like Sibelius and Finale but that doesn't make the product necessarily as notable. No vote —Wahoofive (talk) 04:45, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

• Response I would be happy to rewrite the article to sound more "encyclopedic". My apologies if the article sounded too "personal" - I've found many entries on Wikipedia to be quite helpful to me in finding out about many resources, and I was merely adding a voice to that community. I'm not quite clear that a rewrite would be appropriate at this time, though. It seems that it would be more appropriate as a resubmission after the vote is decided for the current article. Is this correct? Sherryc 23:03, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

• Rewrite I can definitely rewrite this article, but I'd appreciate some constructive input. I apparently shouldn't use existing articles as a model, because I did that and it's caused the ruckus :) What are your suggestions? I'll start with 1) use third person rather than second person 2)more background on the evolution of the software 3) noted capabilities. Does this seem appropriate? Please remember, this article is listed in the category of "music software", and you can check out the other articles in the category. To my eye, this one follows the same model, so I'm honestly trying to find out what the major problems are here so we can make this an informational entry. I see part of the strength of the Wikipedia as giving current information about a myriad of topics, as well as resources related to those topics (hence the "external links" sections). I want to do this right! Thanks. Sherryc 12:47, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

• Note I have rewritten another article that includes the software described here. Please see the article MidiNotate Composer to see this rewritten article. With that in mind, this article could certainly be deleted as the pertinent information about this piece of music software is contained in the other article. If you have any further constructive comments, though, please let me know. Thanks. Sherryc 23:15, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
