The first section of the article is simply recreating a article on duduk music. The rest of the article is full of original research based on the claim that since one musician is playing on these songs that means they are Armenian inspired. I think this is an insanely narrow topic for a list. Maybe Armenian influenced songs, or some other broad topic. Ridernyc (talk) 18:24, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

• Further comment even if these songs have elements of Armenian music "Inspired" seems like a very POV term to me. I really doubt we are going to find sources where the composers say they were "Inspired" by Armenian music. They might say they were influenced, but inspired is a much stronger term.

• • Keep. I don't think that Original Research applies to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, the UNESCO. I think creating a new article using intensive and wide research made by the UNESCO, citing the works of the very few instrumentalists playing Duduk in movie and tv soundtracks meet Wikipedia Policy. This armenian instrument is part of a safeguarding project by Unesco and Japan.

    These armenian-inspired movie and tv soundtracks are so because they make use of the instrument. It doesn't exclude the possibility that these musics could be also japanese-inspired or arabic-inspired, when using additional instruments and mixing them with the duduk. But this article is about armenian-inspired music, not chinese nor german inspired soundtracks. This article is the first one specialized on armenian-inspired musics. The fact that one instrumentalist has been working with the same instrument, the Duduk, on dozens of soundtracks included in the list doesn't make a cause for page deletion. Thus, it seems logical to use this instrumentalist, as one of the world specialists and main players of this instrument, in more than one reference. This page should be expanded with the help of Japan and the UNESCO safeguarding project rather than deleted. PauperHell (talk) 19:29, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Saying that just because a composition uses a Duduk it's composition was therefore "inspired" by Armenian music is pure POV original research synthesis. Your points about UNESCO are meaningless here. Ridernyc (talk) 21:06, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

The Duduk which seems to be the main point of evidence used to justify this article is not even unique to Armenia so I'm not sure why it keeps being brought ip and why it is part of this article at all. Ridernyc (talk) 21:16, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
