Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Motivation through music

This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record.
The result of the debate was ambiguous. After a thorough review of the material, I agree that this is original research and should be removed from Wikipedia. While the article is well written, the first two-thirds of the article are rote recitations of standard theory. The hypothesis about music's effects are unsubstantiated by evidence. My personal reaction is that it appears that someone dropped their college paper into Wikipedia. Accordingly, I am going to exercise my discretion and decline to transwiki this into either Wikibooks or WikiSource. I will, however, have no objections if someone else does and have even left a note on the author's talk page offering to help him/her do so if asked. Rossami (talk) 06:26, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Motivation through music

Psychological essay. While I did enjoy reading it, I'm afraid it qualifies as original research. Radiant! 15:03, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)

• Transwiki to WikiSource. Lovely essay, but original research as noted. HyperZonk^talk 17:30, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete - original research. - SimonP 01:01, Mar 6, 2005 (UTC)
• Well-referenced original research. Might be one to transwiki to Wikibooks, rather than just kill - David Gerard 15:26, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
