This does not appear to cover a distinct genre or shared tradition of music, instead blurring many types of music from many different Canadian First Nations and Native American tribal nations (albeit within a shared language group) into one. I PROD'ed the article last week as it had been unreferenced since 2009: editor AleatoryPonderings then did sterling work in looking for citations. However, the citations they have added both refer to music within a specific Dene nation, not the larger group. It would be better for Wikipedia to have more precisely targeted articles. This could be done by reference to specific musical genre (e.g. Athabaskan fiddle) or by specific nation ( Chipewyan music, Tlicho music, Yellowknives music, Slavey music, Sahtu music). If there is a general shared music tradition across all Northern Athabaskan nations, then that should go to the more etymologically precise Northern Athabaskan music. Vizjim ( talk) 08:22, 8 November 2021 (UTC) Withdrawn by nominator AleatoryPonderings has produced excellent evidence that a shared tradition exists, so we should have an article on the subject. The article needs substantial improvement, especially to the definition of "Dene," but I'm convinced it should not be a candidate for deletion. Vizjim ( talk) 06:21, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
