Dear author of the Geibel topic, Please consider adding this point: For example, Geibel's poems were set to music by Robert Schumann, the Drei Gedichte (Three Poems), which are listed here: List of compositions by Robert Schumann.

It certainly could use something beyond Britannica, but your link didn't work for me, and I don't know a verifiable reference with your contention. Bob Burkhardt (talk) 15:34, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

He was seen as a leading light of German poetry in the 1860s and 70s, but Geibel's reputation certainly plummeted from his death onwards. I saw the following scathing comment in a book of literary history from around 1960: "only around the time of the outbreak of the first world war had it really become clear, what a dross of lies and contrived sentimentality served to animate his poems". And he has hardly been revived and brought to new favour since! ;) 192.121.232.253 (talk) 14:02, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As you've been told many times before, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. We need secondary sources that assert these works' notability. Graham87 (talk) 03:57, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You may want to check the individual articles:

Elise Schmezer - 21 references

Amalie Scholl - 7 references

Maria Anna Stubenberg - 7 references

Pauline Volkstein - 17 references

Julie Waldburg-Wurzach - 18 references

Misogyny is not a good look for wikipedia (or for you). T. E. Meeks (talk) 11:52, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Neither are personal attacks or undue weight. The number of references each article has is not important; We need sources demostrating that these settings are frequently performed or otherwise highly notable in the world of classical music. Since neither of these composers had articles before 2020, I don't think such references will be forthcoming. Graham87 (talk) 14:58, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
