Draft declined[edit]

The draft has been declined with a reference to WP:N. I can't find any mention there regarding the notability of classical compositions. Wikipedia practice seems to be that any composition by a notable composer is sufficiently notable; there are thousands of articles on obscure compositions by Bach, Mozart, Schubert, obscure and lost operas by many composers, etc. This has been raised at Wikipedia talk:Notability (music) several times without any reflection in the guideline. In this particular case, the "Ägyptischer Marsch" is widely available in print and recordings, and it is in the standard repertoire for concert performances. It is also mentioned in Strauss's entry at Oxford Music Online. Consequently, I think this work, and Draft:Champagne-Polka, are sufficiently notable for a Wikipedia article. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 02:13, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

See also comments at Talk:Johann Strauss II#notability problem regarding the creation of two articles related to Johann Strauss II. I intend to move this article to main space shortly. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 10:10, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
