• Delete No notability proved. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 15:01, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - fails notability guidelines. No sources provided. No ISBN provided, which could cover the quotes. Rt. 17:08, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, as unsourced OR. Cirt (talk) 17:38, 20 December 2007 (UTC).
• Weak delete. Google Books search indicates that the book is cited as a reference in other high-quality works on violins and violin-makers, but I couldn't find even a good independent quote about it (e.g. "indispensable reference", that sort of thing) to buttress notability. Probably not much to say about it beyond a library listing unless reviews could be found in offline music publications. --Dhartung | Talk 18:48, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Unsourced, non-notable, possible OR. STORMTRACKER 94 22:42, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep but rename - A book that has reached its eighth edition is likely to be notable. The article is a stub, and probably a poor one, but that is a reason for improving it, not deleting it. The title is perhaps unsatisfactory, in that oen would expect an article on violin makers, not on a book about them. Peterkingiron (talk) 00:56, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
• Note: WikiProject Musical Instruments has been informed of this ongoing discussion. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 15:51, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete maybe ok to use as a notable source for improving/creating individual violin maker articles like Stradivari, not for its own article. -Bikinibomb (talk) 17:43, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
