English music mnemonics
The PROD tag was removed, so the question moves here. None of the mnemonics listed here are provided with a source, which is a particularly serious problem on a page where it would be all too easy for an editor to add "quotes" of his own composition. We might also consider whether mnemonics, even when sourced, are really quotations in the sense in which we use the the word. Personally I think they belong on a Wikipedia page. — Antiquary 21:48, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. Mnemonics, like proverbs and anonymous quotes, ought to be shown as notable by citing sources in which they are found. This would also prevent the addition of made-up quotes. - InvisibleSun 00:21, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Mnemonics have been brought up here in the past, without a clear decision. I definitely feel they leave way too much room for made-up quotes without valid sources. ~ UDScott 20:41, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete unless sourced authoritatively (i.e. to a printed source that is itself independently notable and trustworthy). BD2412 T 01:04, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
