Comment Could someone explain what a TV music package is? The article doesn't say. Then maybe we could merge the whole crufty category in one article.

It's the background music for a news program: the opening and closing theme, the backing track under a graphic or a commercial bumper, etc.

Almost certainly nn, but I would think that it can't really be treated differently than all the other similar packages listed at
Category:Television news music packages. The whole thing is utter cruft, to my mind, but clearly someone is interested in this stuff. I'm willing to say deleteif the whole category gets cancelled with it — I'm not going to support singling this one out as a uniquely nn example within the larger category.

Strong Keep millions of people hear the contents of these music packages and may be curious as to their origin. killing off the entire category would be be a profound disservice to wikipedia, and singling out this one entry would be bizarre, as Sinclairis a notable name in broadcasting. The fact that some people may not already be familiar with the nature and creation of these music packages does not make them nn - they are widespread, and, again, they are heard by millions daily. effort should be undertaken to integrate these music-package articles more thoroughly into the articles about their corporate creators, so that they are not orphans. that is the only problem here - lack of integration. merging, however, is not neccessary or desirable.

Keep; no reason to single this article out for deletion, and Sinclair is a clearly notable broadcaster. "Too arcane" is not a criterion for deletion. That said, the article seems grossly incomplete without significant content information.
