Image:Wood haydn.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Um, this "dubious-discuss" tag was added by User:Kintetsubuffalo, but without explaining why. I'm assuming the problem is that there are lots of other countries which have "light music" traditions, but as far as I know they're not referred to as "light music" - i.e. on the continent, they're known as "salonmusic" or in the U.S. they're often called "Pops music". As far as I know, the UK is the only country which has the distinct type of music discussed at length in the rest of the article, i.e. the Coates tradition. So, because it wasn't added with discussion, I'm going to remove it, but I'd be interested to hear other points of view. It would be easy to change. Rob ( talk) 23:41, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
I love everything UK—but how can this be considered "mainly British" music [lead paragraph]? It was tremendously popular and influential in the U.S. as well, where American light-music artists were seen and heard everywhere. This music practically created the basis of American culture of the late '40s and early '50s, subsequent to the Big Band era.
Celebrity pianists (e.g. Eddie Duchin, Carmen Cavallaro, Liberace) held particular sway in U.S. light music, yet the word "piano" doesn't appear once in this article. (BTW, I found this page by following the "light music" link in the Carmen Cavallaro page.)
Does this genre have another WP article under a different name, where it's given more than an Anglo focus? – AndyFielding ( talk) 09:14, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
Pasting that discussion below, since it's got lost in that link:
How do I translate the general genre Leichte Musik which obviously is not Light music. It summarizes the lighter sides of classical music, such as operettas, dance music etc. Another German term is U-Musik, Unterhaltungsmusik, which would be entertaining music. Help? -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 12:43, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
I'm not really a German speaker, but I've always thought "Leichte musik" translates as light classical. This concept includes operettas, Gilbert and Sullivan and the better known and more accessible pieces of the classical composers. "Light music" means popular orchestral music of the 1920s to the 1960s, such as Eric Coates and Bert Kaempfert - in British English anyway, American usage may be different. -- Ef80 ( talk) 17:48, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

The See Also section contains a link to Electric Light Orchestra. This is very odd - ELO were a pop/rock band who used some classical instruments in their recordings. They were nothing whatsoever to do with the Light Music genre. -- Ef80 ( talk) 22:10, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
