Which brings up another point. A lot of what we call "arrangement" here at VGMdb would be called "composition" in the classical music world. Things such as Symphonic Fantasies, for example, would be free fantasias on themes by their respective composers; the one doing the "composition", in terms of structuring and creating the piece, would be the person whom we refer to as an arranger.

But, it's more important to be consistent within the database than to have our definitions coincide with everyone else's.
