[edit] SRV guitars

SRV guitars (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Unencyclopedic list consisting of, er... one guitar. No sources, essentially fan folklore. Any encyclopedic information belongs in the Stevie Ray Vaughn article. Delete. MCB (talk) 05:43, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:DIRECTORY; this could (very easily) be included in the Stevie Ray Vaughn article. Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 05:54, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
• Merge to Stevie Ray Vaughn as too minor a topic for its own article. All encyclopedic relevance of this topic is related directly to SRV, so it belongs in his article. It hasn't gotten such broad coverage on its own as, say, B.B. King's "Lucille". Probably a bit should be trimmed and most should be merged back. Barno (talk) 15:39, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep. This would be way to much to add to the SRV article. Also, these guitars are also very popular. Izzy007 Talk 00:11, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

• Comment: "These guitars"? It's a list of one guitar. And the whole article is only a couple of paragraphs. --MCB (talk) 05:57, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

The article is fixed. It now includes all the guitars Izzy007 Talk 23:17, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

• Keep. SRV was a famous guitarist and the guitars were a highly notable part of his fame. the SRV article is 27kb and would grow if it was polished and worked up to FAC. I feel the subject matter is possibly better where it is. I am not too opposed to a merge but suspect it would be split off later anyway. cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 10:14, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

PS: Hold the fort on a close, I'll post a note somewhere some folk who may be able to input some authoritative opinion or refs. cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 10:15, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

• Weak keep per WP:HEY. Bearian (talk) 17:01, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
• Strong merge into Stevie Ray Vaughn. Not notable enough for its own article (as far as I know, there's no B. B. King guitars or Elvis guitars.) However, will make a great addition to SRV's own article. Also, if kept, rename to something like "Guitars of Stevie Ray Vaughn" or "Stevie Ray Vaughn's Guitars" --Evan Seeds (talk)(contrib.) 22:01, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
