Merging "Suite de Danses"

It seems to me Suite de Danses is an early version of the suite, and a merge seems reasonable. // Habj 17:38, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

As a music student i think that they should no be merged but have a hot link to one another as they are similar but are diferent names. But i think it perfectly reasonable that they get merged because 'Suite de Danses' is a complete stub. -(unsigned) 2 March 2006 by 203.33.247.40

Not an early version, but simply a slightly different name for the same thing! There is no difference at all between the "Suite de danses" and the "Suite", musically they consist of the same movements, so having a separate page is redundant. The merger can very easily be accomplished with the single sentence "The suite was sometimes also called Suite de Danses". --Tdent 10:32, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

As the user above me said, they are the same thing. Simply making suite de Danses into a redirect to this article would give people exactly the same information as was available previously. I'll leave the final decision up to people who actually have more than a Music GCSE though. Randomwellwisher 19:30, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

I think it should have a merge. Lady Nimue of the Lake 08:51, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

• Merged 06-November-2006: After 13 months consideration, the concensus was "Merge" due to redundant concepts with the same information. The "suite" article now has a new section header "Form of suite de danses" which contains the former article text, and article "Suite de Danses" has been converted now to a REDIRECT to the combined "suite" article. Formerly the separate "Suite de Danses" article was relatively unseen, gaining only one added-text revision after 8 months dormant, while the "suite" article had over 16 various text additions during the same 8-month period (Feb-Oct 2006, excluding robot edits). -Wikid77 02:17, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Sources

More footnotes could be added to cite sources in the "suite" article. -Wikid77 01:54, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Page Move

This page should be moved to a more specific page- Suite (music) perhaps, and Suite should redirect to the disambiguation page, as there are many other definitions of "Suite." Agree? Creamypeanutbutter 08:14, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

I agree. I don't see this at primary in this case. --Kleinzach 00:42, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

The prevalence of suites in the progressive genre

Suites are common in progressive rock and metal, examples being Rush's '2112', 'Book 1' & 'Book 2" of Cygnus X-1, 'By-Tor and The Snow Dog'. Here is a small list of prog suites. https://www.reddit.com/r/progrockmusic/comments/2smxy4/favorite_long_prog_suites/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.62.81.2 (talk) 23:01, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

Waslah does not give any information that it is a suite. It only talks about a group of arabic music. But a suite has to be Classical or Jazz. Hsjal (talk) 21:00, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
