Chinese instrument classification

Useless redirect. Ideogram 20:45, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of traditional Chinese musical instruments rather than delete - this is a useful redirect to List of traditional Chinese musical instruments. When someone types "Chinese instrument classification" in the search box (a logical search term rather than the cumbersome title of the actual page), they are brought to List of traditional Chinese musical instruments, getting the information they came for.  It's a no-brainer. Further, the list is broken up according to the ancient Chinese musical instrument classification of "eight materials," and explains this system, so it's the logical destination for a WP user wishing to find this information.

 * I note that this one didn't get speedied. Note that the search term you are advocating is already pretty long, and if someone types it they don't want to wade through a long list to find what they are looking for.  What you should be doing is copying the relevant information from the list into a new article.  If you're too lazy to do it I'll probably get around to it eventually.  --Ideogram 21:29, 19 February 2007 (UTC)


 * OK I've done it. It needs expansion pretty badly, but I think this AfD can be closed.  --Ideogram 23:51, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Please be aware that the 八音 is only one classification system, and that others have existed at various times in Chinese history. This is documented in reference books, but not necessarily easy to find. Badagnani 23:53, 19 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I can't do that work. You'll have to do it yourself or wait for someone else.  --Ideogram 23:58, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
