[edit] Metropolis (news music)

Metropolis (news music) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

I'm unsure of this proposed deletion, and the decision here could affect a large number of articles, so I'm sending to AfD for discussion. Are music packages for news programs notable? Are there reliable sources that talk about news music packages?

The decision here may affect 33 other articles in Category:Television news music packages. rspeer / ɹəədsɹ 05:55, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

• Delete I was the one who prodded it. It's essentially just a list of stations that use this particular music package, and seems, well, crufty, if there are really fans of television news music packages (and I guess there are because someone bothered to make this). I don't see why it's more notable than a list of stations with blonde news anchors, or blue logos. I looked at the category when prodding, and at least a few of the articles did seem to have some more background information that made more of a case for notability.

• I'd go for Delete as it's little more than saying package X was composed by Y and used by stations Z, I personally think this sort of thing comes under Wikipedia not being an directory, or more generally the general indescriminate information stuff. There's nothing to really say why this specific set of jingles is important. I'm not sure about the wider implications the creator of the AFD talks about, this particular article does seem quite bad compared to others in the TV news packages catagory, but I personally don't really see them as that notable anyway.
