The result was redirect to Fictional music. I'm going to go with the nominator's suggestion and redirect this page. This allows the preservation of content should anyone want to proceed with a Merge. Liz Read! Talk! 06:38, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

I don't see how this meets WP:NLIST. Perhaps redirect to fictional music, which mentions the concept? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:50, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

- A Merge into fictional music with a bit of a collapse (no need for sections) seems reasonable. I was surprised not to find any good sources for NLIST on this one. There's a lot of scholarly literature on fictional musical instruments but none that addresses such a grouping from existing fiction. — siro χ o 07:11, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
- Merge to fictional music. Not everything should be a list; in fact most things shouldn’t. Prose is generally a vastly superior format. This is a short list with little meaningful content, so it’s perfect for nerging.

- I am not sure if merging would be ok with MOS:TRIVIA... the current list has no analysis, it's just a list of examples. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:19, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
- Delete There isn't any WP:SIGCOV for this topic. The list items don't even pass the low bar of having notable articles. I would accept a very selective merge, but most of these are unsourced or WP:TRIVIALMENTIONs even a section seems like WP:OR. Shooterwalker ( talk) 03:25, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
