Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Moonlight Sonata in popular culture
with the article in chief on Beethoven's Sonata #14.  Beethoven and the Sonata are not notable for any other reason than that the music is widely performed and alluded to, enough to become a point of cultural reference.  If this information is "indiscriminate" or "trivial," then the articles on Beethoven or the Sonata should be deleted along with it.  Also, the claim that most or all of the statements in this article are "unreferenced" is deeply unconvincing.  If you recognize the Sonata's music in a full performance, you can recognize a quotation of it elsewhere; pointing this out is not |an original hypothesis of a kind that requires further referencing.   Major allusions, direct quotations, and derivative works by major artists of the Sonata probably belong in the article on the Sonata itself.  If consensus can't be mustered as to which works deserve that sort of exposure, this should be kept
