List of 12-string guitar players

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

Well-intentioned list but any list starting with "notable performers" is bound to face serious trouble of OR. What is a "notable performer of the 12-string guitar"? A notable musician who has touched a 12-string? (this seems to be the current criterion) If so, the list might as well include any professional guitarist. If not, what makes someone's 12-string use significant enough for inclusion on the list? Simply unmaintainable. Pichpich (talk) 21:09, 24 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete as unnecessary list.--ZXCVBNM (TALK) 21:20, 24 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete I am sure most professional musicians can play more than one instrument. The very most notable 12 string players could be included in Twelve string guitar.  No need for a list of everyone who has ever played one in public. Borock (talk) 21:26, 24 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete Loosely defined compared to other "list of x players" lists. Very few of these people play 12 string regularly. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 23:33, 24 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete this list as there are no standards by which appropriate notability for entries can be measured. --Stormbay (talk) 01:15, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete, Lead Belly was the first guy to jump to mind, since the 12-string was his thing, but he's certainly not defined by it, and a passing mention in his article and the 12-string article should cover the matter nicely. MatthewVanitas (talk) 04:40, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
