Bangladeshi classical music[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

There is no such thing as a Bangladeshi classical music tradition which is independent of Indian classical music (Indian here including the whole subcontinent mroe or less) or ghazal. The only place which mentions this phrase on wikipedia which didn't get it information from is this book: [1] which admits "The instruments most commonly used in Bangladeshi classical music are Indian in origin".

I have not notified the creator and sole editor, whose userpage goes "I resigned from contributing for Wikipedia due to Dirty politics here. So, feel free to delete all the articles I contributed or started as Stubs.

Good luck!" Munci (talk) 17:43, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, per nom and for lack of sources indicating that the topic is notable. There isn't really any content to merge over, nor any obvious merge target, but the title should probably be redirected to something. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 14:42, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If it would be redirected, the most likely target I think is Music of Bangladesh which I shall try to improve anyway post-afd. Munci (talk) 11:43, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 09:44, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Music of Bangladesh for the moment. I'm surely not closed to the fact that someone is going to some day be able to step forward and venture a claim that the classical music of Bangladesh is indeed different from the classical music of Bengal generally, or that it has developed in a new direction since the partition and independence. This article does not make any such case in its current form, but there's no burning need to remove these contributions from history either. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:16, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No such thing as Bangladeshi classical music. Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 04:09, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect as specified. Since it is a particular region, the music might be different to an extent worth discussion, but that would depend on he references. I'm not going to judge otherwise on a mere assertion. DGG ( talk ) 20:15, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
