[edit] Lakland

Non-notable bass guitar company. Delete. DMG413 23:26, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep. Lakland is a very prominent bass guitar producer in the United States, and has dealers in 20 countries. Lakland's bass guitars are considered as some of the best production basses available, are endorsed by several influential and highly regarded artists, and have received national recognition numerous times through publication. "Non-notable" is nowhere in Lakland's description. (255,000 Google Hits, By the way.) Stephenrheard 23:47, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Highly-regarded bass guitar maker. YellowPigNowNow 00:10, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Lakland is a bass guitar company that has created a unique series of instruments that major artists and recording session players have adopted as their primary instruments. (UTC)
  • Keep. Lakland is a reputable instruments company whose basses are used and endorsed by professional bass players worldwide. Their sound and workmanship is second to none, and their customer service is without parallel in the industry.
  • Keep. Used and endorsed by major studio players and recording artists throughout the world, both old and young. Attention to detail is superb, value for the dollar excellent. Revolver323
  • Keep. Lakland is a widely known and respected manufacturer of high quality bass guitars used by many top name professionals. However, if the likes of the Rolling Stones and U2, as well as bass playing icons such as Joe Osborne, Bob Glaub and Jerry Scheff are "Non-Notable" then I guess Lakland would be also.
  • Weak Delete. Probably notable, but current article as written fails to establish notability under WP:CORP. --Alan Au 05:46, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong keep Lakland is well known, and hold a specific niche as well. If an article is poorly written, you tag for cleanup you do NOT delete. Would you delete Fender Stratocaster if the article was poorly written? Ignore the socks but keep and cleanup the article. KillerChihuahua?!? 10:34, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. The endorsement list and signature models offered by this builder make up a who's who of the bass playing world. The basis for the designs are from time tested classics, refined by many of the best players out there.HighMileage
  • Keep and slap a cleanup tag on it.--Isotope23 19:59, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Lakland is possibly the most notable bass manufacturer to crop up in recent years gaining many many big name endorsements including Bob Glaub, Joe Osbourne, Jerry Scheff, Adam Clayton, etc. Even the import Skyline series is being utilized by many professionals and rivals the quality of Fender.--tplyons 20:16, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
