Just a complete mess. Normal criteria would suggest there's an article in there somewhere, but wouldn't it be better just to start again? Mcewan (talk) 21:47, 8 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Cut out the unsourced essay-like rambling and you'd have nothing. If there is a topic here, then WP:TNT is the only possible choice. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 08:35, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Until someone will find scholarly topics about this (very real) subject, as it is: delete.Trillfendi (talk) 18:35, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Rambling WP:ESSAY, largely unsourced and, where sourced, largely inappropriately. Musical influence is indeed potentially a serious subject (although the term 'appropriation' is itself loaded - it is only one aspect of musical influence) but the article is self-indulgent and poorly informed. The very first sentence "Appropriation in Western music as a economic phenomenon" sets the non-encyclopedic tone, and the rest is a drone supporting that opinion.--Smerus (talk) 07:39, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
