Carter Family picking

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Short article which merely duplicates what is already at Carter Family. Author contested a redirect to that article. Delete and redirect. Ros0709 (talk) 10:18, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect. The Carter Family article is nowhere close to being large enough for splitting. --Blanchardb- Me • MyEars • MyMouth -timed 11:54, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Right now the article is really just a definition of the expression. The information could be given in an article on guitar playing, as well as in the Carter Family article. Northwestgnome (talk) 13:22, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Article is sourced and contains information which is not currently in Carter Family. Hyacinth (talk) 18:16, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep Hasty redirect and AFD. This article is apparently about the guitar performance technique and is accordingly categorised as such. The Carter Family article is about the family group and hence should not be found under the guitar performance technique category. Since the AFD nomination, the article has been improved and now includes five references, three of which are to published books. That is pretty impressive for a stub article. --Bardin (talk) 04:37, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per Bardin's comment. It's not a Carter Family page, it's a guitar playing technique. Wikipedia already has several articles similar to this that are sourced and maintained by the WikiProject Guitarists. Anger22 (Talk 2 22) 02:17, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
