Rfv-sense: (music) The performance of music by local musicians in a public place, with its origins in Gaelic culture. A musical performance broadcast for a radio show.
We may be missing a more central music sense for session, though I think it is included in the first sense, but I don't see anything that would restrict the use of the word to this sense. DCDuring TALK 12:23, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
- We do need a sense for music, but not as the definition is at the moment. I'd suggest something like - "an informal get-together of musicians". While the Gaelic culture mention is reasonable, as the word is common in Ireland, I don't think it is specific enough to keep that part.--Dmol (talk) 06:01, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

The computing sense consists of five sentences. The music sense also seems a bit encyclopedic and PoV. The cricket sense is encyclopedic, belonging in a rulebook, not a dictionary. DCDuring TALK 11:36, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
- Trimmed computing sense. That leaves cricket and music senses. Equinox ◑ 13:28, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
- I've had a go at the cricket sense. The music sense seems to be a bit obscure, and misses the main music meaning as in session musician or session band. SpinningSpark 12:09, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
- I wish I knew what the contributor was getting at with the Gaelic bit. It seems encyclopedic. Does a WP article shed any light? Put it in the talk page? DCDuring TALK 12:15, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
- The gaming sense seems like a specific use of sense #1, could be rfd-redundant but in all honesty to me it's uncontroversial enough just to remove it. The cricket one probably is distinct from the other senses, I know what it means, I will reword it at some point (expecting visitors here, can't guarantee I can do it now).

- I've removed the gaming sense, added a usex to the first sense to show music use, RfV'ed the existing music sense, and removed the rfc tag. DCDuring TALK 12:37, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
