  • Comment: Should be assessed by Academic, I think. The thesis presented in the article is pretty middle of the road for Marxist analysis, and there is now a very robust markets-to-music analysis (e.g. Pound Notes to Quarter Notes). The present article doesn't do a very good job of clarity. Hithladaeus ( talk) 17:29, 16 June 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Keep User:Dweller I think we have to assess this one under WP:PROFESSOR as User:Hithladaeus suggests, even though Raynor was a writer, not a professor, he retains notability as a scholar. The article claims that his major work was Social History of Music, so I typed that title into JSTOR and found half a dozen reviews in major journals. Run a google books search on Social Hisotry of Music + Raynor and it is instantly apparent that the book has been widely cited. The article needs the attention of someone who is familiar with the historiography of music. I know that there's a tag for that. Probably best to tag it for improvement, and attention by an expert and withdraw the AFD. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 21:55, 16 June 2015 (UTC) reply
    • I'll be happy to do that. Can you give me a link for some of the reviews? I'll add it to the article and then close this. -- Dweller ( talk) 08:45, 17 June 2015 (UTC) reply
