And it doesn't help that composers lend themselves to being indexed in databases and general name-checking without substantive content. For example, look at the hits for Kinuyo in my CSE: http://www.google.com/cse?cx=009114923999563836576%3A1eorkzz2gp4&q=%22Kinuyo+Yamashita%22 Leaving aside the issue that I have no idea whether to whitelist originalsoundversion.com as a RS or blacklist it as a database/blog filling up my results, note that there are tons of references & mentions, but few substantive discussions. (Ironically, one of the more prominent hits is an osv.com post criticizing the deletion: http://www.originalsoundversion.com/?p=7667 ) -- gwern _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
