WikiDelia is a read-only project of researcher Martin Guy to catalog the complete works and biography of contemporary composer Delia Derbyshire. A great deal of information is covered, from the works she created for BBC to her works she composed under a pseudonym for production music publisher KPM Music (she had to use a pseudonym on KPM because of her BBC contract). Originally Guy Martin had another Delia Derbyshire website, but he realized that the information would be easier to categorize and put together if he installed MediaWiki software on the site, so delia-derbyshire.net was replaced with WikiDelia. According to the edit history of the main page, the site as we know it was launched in November 2015, and covers everything from Delia's television work, making a version of Ron Grainer's Doctor Who theme which became the popular version, to making general background music albums such as those on KPM and Standard Music Library. This publicly-viewable but read-only wiki is an impressive database of the works of a relatively modern composer/musician.
