Music/Music genres task force Template‑class | |||||||

What are the criteria for a type of opera being included in this template?
As of this writing, the Category:Opera genres page lists the following:
Those marked with a ** are currently listed as genres in this template; the others are not. Can anyone explain a rationale for the difference?
I would argue for the more-inclusive list. There have been numerous attempts to categorize the world of opera, I don't think there is a clear division that is widely accepted. It is better to admit the longer list, and if a particular item is controversial, note the controversy in the article itself, in a way that preserves NPOV. Marc Shepherd 18:33, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
