Symphony No. 12 (Glass)

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

It's too soon for an article on this musical piece scheduled to debut next year. No information other than announced concert dates appears to exist. power~enwiki (π, ν) 04:06, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. There is somewhat more out there about this long-awaited ([1][2]) work, which will complete Glass's trilogy of symphonies inspired by the Berlin Trilogy of David Bowie.[3][4] A straight deletion of this article seems out of place, since users are likely to be seeking information about the work from now until the premieres early next year; it would be better to keep this or at least find a good redirect/merge target. --Arxiloxos (talk) 06:36, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: If this article is not kept, an appropriate merge/redirect target would appear to be Philip Glass#2008–present: Chamber music, concertos and symphonies. ebbillings (talk) 19:53, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment it's got good sources (Guardian, LA Times). I agree a redirect/merge target is probably appropriate for the time being as it's still 10 months away. SportingFlyer (talk) 03:09, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Enough sources are out there to justify an article; we could merge to Philip Glass#2008–present: Chamber music, concertos and symphonies as suggested above, but we'd be splitting it off again in less than a year, which seems like more hassle than is really necessary.

Keep – I understand and usually share concerns about WP:CRYSTAL, but this work has generated substantial coverage from reputable sources which justify keeping this article. Further, XOR'easter's point is well made. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 01:25, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge as above and WP:NOTCRYSTAL. The Guardian article (Philip Glass completes his David Bowie trilogy with Lodger symphony) is certainly a WP:RS, but it's the only one and it's not enough. The LA Times article (Solo but Not Alone) is from 1997 and (obviously) doesn't mention this piece. -- RoySmith (talk) 21:31, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
