The result was Redirect. The article is unsourced, so there is nothing I can merge, but if someone wants to dig out the information from the edit history and include it in the main or an album page, be my guest. (But source first!) ~ trialsanderrors 22:58, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Depeche Mode Instruments

Depeche Mode Instruments (discussion|history|protect|delete|undelete|logs|links)

Contested ProD. Fancruft. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Unverified original research. According to the creator this content is originally from the Depeche Mode main page. -- IslaySolomon | talk 22:39, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. Why would anyone care what instruments were used in their songs? -Amarkov babble 22:46, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. Comment - see, this is what happens when you don't use real instruments. Basically, it is at best Credit info on the respective album article, at worst Trivia - and unsourced trivia at that. Bubba hotep 22:55, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete this, with possible smerge into Depeche Mode article, though I doubt that's really necessary. Grutness...wha? 22:56, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep or Merge. Like I said before, if article for the Beatles, Jonny Buckland, Jordan Rudess and many others can have that sort of information, why not the article for Depeche Mode? Either keep this or allow for it to be added to the main page. Human historian 09:26, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge to Depeche Mode - the most recent precedent for such information was articles for Jonny Greenwood and Kurt Cobain both of which were merged to their personal pages. Although these lists were rather more extensive (this list seems to be everything other than a synthesiser), it should be merged to allow for expansion. And shame on you Bubba hotep for suggesting that a keyboard isn't a "real" instrument! Ac@osr 13:25, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

I can agree to that. I'll be more than willing to add more information regarding the equipment used. Including the live equipment and guitars and such. Human historian 23:29, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete or Merge, this article doesn't work on its own as is. If it were bigger and not a list, or if there was (sourced) information detailing themes that these instruments portray, I'd say "move to Depeche Mode instruments", but there isn't. Nihiltres 01:25, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
