Despite what the name suggests, this appears to be a WP:FANCRUFTy, WP:INDISCRIMINATE, and largely unsourced list of ... "themes and motifs" in the Harry Potter series, rather than the in-depth behind-the-scenes info and critical analysis you would expect — a stark contrast from other "Music of..." articles such as Music of Star Wars, Music of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Music of The Lord of the Rings film series. Unless this article is nuked and rewritten into a well-developed article similar to the other three I mentioned, this trivial list of themes should not have its own article.

Delete per nom. Very little information of value. —El Millo (talk) 02:28, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Leaning move to draft. I feel like this is something that could be the subject of an article, though this isn't quite it. BD2412 T 04:39, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
WP:TNT applies. There is virtually no content in this article's present state that is worth keeping, though editors are welcome to recreate a new article with the same title but with entirely different content. InfiniteNexus (talk) 05:27, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say to merge the individual films' soundtrack articles here, but agree that the list of motifs is not valuable and would need at least sourcing. Reywas92^Talk 13:10, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep nom makes no case that the article is improper... just that it sucks. Hard to think that music from less than a dozen (no, I'm not going to go count) films and maybe some stage adaptations is indiscriminate. The title is a valid WP:SS parent for all the individual soundtracks, so... Edit it to remove issues, but no, there's no reason articulated to delete this article.

Relisting comment: I see no consensus for any particular outcome. Also, Merges are more easily accomplished if someone is volunteering to do the merging.

Keep per Jclemens - WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP. Notable subject, We have plenty of soundtrack articles, I do agree this needs work but again AFDISNOTCLEANUP, Meets GNG. –Davey2010^Talk 16:58, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
