Thank you for your speedy reply. (1) The use of the image (most likely its only one, a low-res scan of an album cover) strikes me as fair use under 17 USC 107 of any copyrights in either the original artwork or the digital scan, so I don't think that is an issue.

For now, I'll just add: (1) You know and I know that there is no Irish national piano concerto. Others might not. (2) Consistency. "Full Fathom Five (John Ireland)" is a needed article. "Full Fathom Five (Ireland)" would be seriously ambiguous and possibly misleading. If music articles are variously

Please don't defend the indefensible, Deb. Even if a hundred other editors turn out to agree with you and Narky, and I turn out to be the sole outlier, the fact that two editors decided this matter between themselves and then acted without any wider consultation means that it was premature, to say

1664:

But your measuring stick for whether these moves are controversial or not is whether you agree with Narky or not. That's one other editor. Two people is a hell of a small sample on which to base such an assessment on. Now there are three people discussing this, and one of them disagrees with the

The problem with the above discussion is that it's one that the entire classical music wiki-community has a stake in, yet it's being conducted (up till now) as a private discussion between 2 editors, and I hope they don't think that whatever agreements they may have come to amount to anything like

Hi. I'm just wondering if it would be appropriate to use "(John Ireland)" rather than just "(Ireland)" as a disambiguator for this composer's works. Not that anyone with any level of musical knowledge is likely to get him mixed up with the country, but it's a more ambiguous name than most famous

Hi. Altho your edit to the above article was absolutely correct, your reason was faulty. The fact that you have never heard of the Bill Gaither Trio indicates your knowledge of music is not as encyclopedic as you think. Bill Gaither, Danny's brother is the single biggest name in Southern Gospel

I'm not sure about any of that. I was just reviewing the CFD closure which seemed pretty straightforward. SMALLCAT has an exception for categories that are part of a large structure so I'd say that since Beethovan's pieces by category and ballets by person have an intersection category structure,

I don't see how reverting uncontroversial moves can be considered the right way to deal with this. Was there ever a discussion prior to the first article on one of Ireland's works being given the "Ireland" disambiguator? I doubt it. But I'll go along with the idea of a discussion and will
