Buchla 200e

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Individual product out of the larger line is not notable enough to have its own page, I don't think. At most it should be merged with Buchla Electronic Musical Instruments or Buchla 200 series Electric Music Box (which itself probably needs some cleanup, since it too is a laundry list of modules) rahaeli (talk) 05:13, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep: Buchla is one of the oldest modular synthesizer family (older than Moog synthesizer), and its sound synthesis mechanism is rather different than these on typical analog synthesizer. Buchla mainly takes an approach to modulate sound generators using a forerunner of FM synthesis technique and world first music sequencer products, etc., instead of subtractive synthesis-centric approach seen on typical analog synthesizers.
 * Especially Buchla 200e article have a worth to keep, because it is a most advanced form of Buchla's idea so that many sound synthesis ideas are seen on its modules (i.e. highly educational), and also it is current product so many electronic musicians play it. Sadly since 2012, most part of article seems continuously deleted by new users with relatively short contributions. I think these removed part should be recovered in several appropriate form. --Clusternote (talk) 20:48, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete unless significant coverage in reliable, independent sources can be furnished which back up the claims of notability made by . The article is now unreferenced, and those claims need to be verifiable.  Cullen 328  Let's discuss it  06:30, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect to Buchla Electronic Musical Instruments per nom. One article can carry the topic just fine, and individual products are not independently notable. --Bejnar (talk) 00:08, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
