[edit] Television news music package

Seems to be unverified original research. Surely this should be merged somewhere else, or has been covered previously, but it currently seems unencyclopedic. Harro5 00:52, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

It seems rather unusual that I only created this file just a few minutes before and already an AfD stamp had already been placed. I created the file after I was left a message by somebody (I can't remember their user name), but they said that I would be a good candidate to create such an article, so I created it. I had created other articles revolving around news music and when I was "enlisted", so to speak, to create an article about the subject, I took the chance and went with it, you know. But if anybody can gather information as I'm trying to on this subject, put it in. TmanokoTmanok 00:57, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

My bad. I saw what looked like a strange and waffling list, but didn't know the history. At least it wasn't speedied out of haste. Harro5 05:37, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

• keep this seems like a reasonable article. it's not really original research to simply state that some channels use particular melodic lines for their news programs and describe how they do so. Niffweed17, Destroyer of Chickens 01:05, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Tmanok. The nom also seems unclear and suggests a merge but provides no target. I think engaging the author before tagging the article two minutes after creation might have provided some clarification. -- JJay 01:27, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep an important part of the branding of television. Eivind^t@c 01:35, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, requested in connection with another AfD discussion to provide context and as a possible umbrella replacement for a set of mostly boilerplate small articles. Monicasdude 02:41, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep but clarify soem of the terminology being used. Denni ☯ 02:52, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as encyclopaedic. --Terence Ong 03:32, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep. I suggested the creation of this article. We already had a whole Category:Television news music packages, about individual news music packages and their composers. I thought we should have a background article explaining what they were. Smerdis of Tlön 04:30, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
