Granted that he only wrote 4 (5 if you count the earlier one) symphonies, such a list is utterly useless. Making a symphony list for Haydn or Mozart (which do exist) is far more helpful since the two wrote a substantial amount of symphonies. I mean what's next, "List of symphonies by Sergei Rachmaninoff"? (3) "List of operas by Maurice Ravel"? (2) "List of piano concertos by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky?" (3). In short, I can't see how this list could ever benefit a reader. Aza24 (talk) 21:02, 27 November 2020 (UTC) Aza24 (talk) 21:02, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to List of compositions by Robert Schumann. Mccapra (talk) 21:15, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge or redirect to List of compositions by Robert Schumann. Editors more knowledgeable in this area should determine what value this table adds but that's clearly where the information should go either way. postdlf (talk) 21:18, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • A redirect/merge would make sense to me as well now that I think about it... Aza24 (talk) 21:20, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Table is now merged to List_of_compositions_by_Robert_Schumann#Symphonies; I believe a speedy close is appropriate. Reywas92^Talk 23:15, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

agreed. Mccapra (talk) 03:26, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed as well. Thanks everyone for their input/action here. Aza24 (talk) 03:48, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge or redirect to List of compositions by Robert Schumann. As I agree with the merge analysis of everyone else and don't otherwise see why merging or redirecting would not be a good option. --Adamant1 (talk) 06:50, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge of redirect to List of compositions by Robert Schumann. The article List of compositions by Johannes Brahms is analogous. The same kind of article List of symphonies by Johannes Brahms was created[1] and subsequently redirected/merged to List of compositions by Johannes Brahms. (In that case the incipits were not particularly useful, unlike the notes on Brahms' own arrangements for piano duet.) Mathsci (talk) 18:33, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
