[edit] Pannist
Dicdef which should be deleted and merged with steelpan. Kakofonous (talk) 22:44, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
- Delete and Merge I don't think we need a separate article for pannists if we already have a steelpan article. Ideally, the steel pan article should cover all important aspects of steelpan including how people play them.Nlm1515 (talk) 22:59, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
- Redirect - lack of sufficient content to justify a separate article. The current definition could be transwikied to wiktionary. Addhoc (talk) 13:34, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Undecided. Changing to Keep There is some precedence for separate articles for Pianist and Piano, Drum and Drummer, Violinist and Violin. I don't mean to sound waxy, this article for Pannist is stubby yes, but is it expandable? Are there famous pannists, or pannists from different schools of panning? Are there panning controversies, styles, contests or panning awards? I have absolutely no idea, it is way outside my little realm of expertise. I would be okay with a Keep and expand outcome if an music expert were to step in, but also a merge to Steelpan and then redirect if nothing else can be found.

- After some research, I came across these couple articles: Steelpan - Playing in De Band, Len "Boogsie" Sharpe, “Pan Life”: Transformation in Trinidadian-American Steelband Culture, among others, that seem to suggest that the idea of a pannist does seem to justify a separate article. I will get around to expanding it soon, hopefully. Kakofonous (talk) 18:40, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
- Kakofonous, an FYI, as nominator, you can "withdraw" your nomination to see if it will close as keep, however keep in mind two other goodfaith editors have already agreed (more or less) with your nom statement. In any event, I urge you to quickly (as time permits of course) add what you can to the stub, especially the references. A list of references on an AfD doesn't mean anything if they aren't added to the article. Let me know if you'd like assistance. BTW, I like the phonetic (foe-nettic?) spelling of your name, as I've always quite enjoyed Cacophony. :-) Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 19:11, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
- I'm expanding it as we speak. Kakofonous (talk) 19:14, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Keep and expand. I think there's certainly room for expansion (famous pannists etc.) for it to stand alone separate from Steelpan, but the article has thus far been without the necessary interested editors. Mostlyharmless (talk) 23:03, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
