Talk:Roland Corporation

meh
Another article that used to be more complete (WITH RECENT PRODUCTS OF THE COMPANY!) but somebody decided to remove it and left instead nothing. This wiki shows that Roland is practically a dead company that now barely produce any new product past the 2000. Thanks for nothing!. 15:48, 5 February 2021 (UTC)190.46.238.9 (talk)


 * I checked the |page history and this guy seems to think this article belongs to him. I reverted his deletion and propose you officially ask for a third opinion (WP:3O). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.201.160.86 (talk) 13:47, 25 April 2022 (UTC)


 * The long list of products had two major problems per Wikipedia policy.
 * Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Simply producing long lists of data without context or indication of notability isn't good material for Wikipedia.
 * Almost nothing in the list was cited to a reliable source. Per BURDEN: All content must be verifiable. The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and it is satisfied by providing an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution.
 * For comparison, if you want to see what a good article about a hardware manufacturer looks like, take a look at the Sega article. Note how it doesn't mainly consist of a long, uncited list of products, and is instead a real encyclopaedic article with reliable citations and readable prose. That is what we should be aiming for.

Missing notable innovations
Wow, this article is missing numerous notable Roland innovations that really impacted the history of music technology products, including the introduction of sample+synthesis, guitar synthesizers, electronic drums (V-Drums), digital multitrack workstations (V-Studios), physical modeling technology, etc.. I will try and work on this. synthfiend (talk) 23:40, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
