Talk:Mazaher

(I have copied the following text from Talk:Zār.) It appears that most or all of this information was taken from the egyptmusic.org website. I think it was sufficiently rewritten so that it isn't a copyvio, but I think it needs further work in terms of tone, style, verification etc. Also, there is a whole lot of confusion resulting from the seeming interchangeability of the terms tanbūra, tamboura, tanbur etc. The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians identifies the instrument as a tanbūra so I've gone with that. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 13:42, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Merge?
A merge does not seem appropriate in this case. Does the article stand on its own? Input/editing would be appreciated. --Stormbay (talk) 21:01, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, Mazhar is a musical instrument, this article is about a musical ensemble. This article has notability issues but in any case I don't think the two articles should be merged, they are about two different subjects. -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 21:06, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * So, it is likely not a merge, and I can't find much that would satisfy notability. I'm going to leave it for now. Thanks! --Stormbay (talk) 03:40, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and removed the merge tag. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 18:49, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
