:In my opinion, there is no point in having a composer page for a composer who isn't represented on CPDL. This resource is for choral works primarily and also for texts and translations of choral works. Again, in my opinion, extended biographical information and lists of choral works belong on a resource like Wikipedia.

New subcateogry
How can I add a new nationality-subcategory for catalan composers? For example: Mateu Fletxa el Vell, Mateu Fletxa el Jove, Joan Cererols, Joan Baptista Cabanilles...

Catalan composers ...
I will add that as a subcategory. All composers listed as Catalan should also be listed as Spanish.
Rafael Ornes Manager, CPDL
Please add Ukrainian as a subcategory of composers by nationality.
Dmitri Bortniansky (actually Dmytro Bortniansky) was a Ukrainian composer, not a Russian, even though he spent much of his musical life in St. Petersburg. ~Chuck Giffen.
Why Shouldn't John Rutter have a composer page?
