Talk:Medley (music)

Recommend article deletion

Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary
There is already a wiktionary article for "medley" that covers musical medleys (see http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/medley). Also the list of examples here is far too long and probably pointless (even if citations were provided.) Most examples given are neither particularly notable nor representative and don't really add much to the understanding of the concept "medley". The list threatens to just grow "forever."

If not deleted, the article should be re-written and the list of medleys be deleted or changed to "List of notable medleys" and include only a few universally famous/notable representative medleys. Pugetbill (talk) 14:35, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

List of "notable medleys" should include only medleys that have charted, and only if referenced. Whether that would be a lot or a few would depend on the number of charted medleys. Gorrad (talk) 04:04, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Medley (music) → List of musical medleys — There is already a wiktionary article for "medley" that covers the definition of musical medleys (see http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/medley). This article is primarily just a (somewhat random) list of examples of musical medleys that doesn't particularly add much to the understanding of the concept "medley" but could possibly stand on its own as simply a "List of musical medleys" article. Alternatively, the article should be simply deleted as previously proposed Pugetbill (talk) 14:05, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

'the Medley' is referred to as two medleys, which is correct; but the two form one medley in that 'You Never Give Me Your Money' and 'With Golden Slumbers' binds them as one medley that ends with 'the End'.

Is it correct to call something a medley if it consists entirely of (to the audience) new material? If not, then would it be more correctly called a suite? Richard K. Carson (talk) 04:53, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

Deletion of "Other medleys" section

• Similar to this reasoning, the examples listed pretty much constituted listcruft. There was no real criteria on why those medleys were included; it seemed as though random users just came by and listed their favorite medley. Erpert ^{blah, blah, blah...} 07:31, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
