This list seems like useless information for an encyclopedia. Unnecessarily long and very trivial. iMatthew /  talk 07:11, 7 December 2013 (UTC) reply

• Keep since the topic is notable. Googling director composer collaborations shows numerous results. It's just that this list is ugly in presentation. We should not have so many section headings. Some similar articles: List of film director and actor collaborations and List of film director and editor collaborations. Erik ( talk |  contribs) 15:15, 7 December 2013 (UTC) reply

Those two articles are much more presentable, I wasn't even aware they existed. I could be wrong in nominating this one. iMatthew /  talk 17:46, 7 December 2013 (UTC) reply

• Keep, but improve presentation (no need for 240 section headings!). A Google News sweep leads with the prominent example of Spielberg and Williams, and I can think of at least one other long-term association off the top of my head – Cameron and Horner.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

• I'm torn between Keep and WP:NUKEANDPAVE. What I'd like to see is a three column table sortable by at least the first two. Column 1: the director, column 2: the composer. Column 3: Works produced together. Decent list in there, but the current ones's not useful. Neonchameleon ( talk) 02:06, 14 December 2013 (UTC) reply
• Keep Lots of notable examples of a director and composer working together on multiple films from real-world sources. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 10:21, 14 December 2013 (UTC) reply
• Keep - While most of it is out of date, information on this page is important. I suggest improving the list by using a template or whatever. -- MrRatermat2 ( talk) 13:31, 14 December 2013 (UTC) reply
