Talk:List of microphone manufacturers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Why only manufacturers with a Wikipedia article?

Any reason why there should not also be a list of microphone manufacturers that do not (yet) have a Wikipedia article? Then perhaps some people might be inclined to write articles about them too! Onlyonefin 20:07, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes. How will one verify that the things listed are actually microphone manufacturers? Remember that the criterion for inclusion on WP is verifability, not truth (see WP:VERIFY). With this list, you can click on any of the links and the wikipedia article should clearly indicate that the company does, indeed, manufacture microphones, and it should be nicely sourced, etc., if it's a good and proper WP article. (Of course, with AMPEX, I believe AMPEX did manufacture microphones decades ago, but it was a fairly minor part of the company, or perhaps they just put their name on microphones made by other companies (Electro-voice?), so this has never been added to AMPEX.) If you want to request that an article be created, you can always do that: see WP:Requested_Articles for information on how. Cheers, Doctormatt 21:23, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
