List of Cajun instrument makers

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Yet another list - I think Alaibot's reached the letter L on its stub/uncat tagging run. All but one of the entries are redlinks and I suspect likely to remain so for the foreseeable future, but I don't really want to prod it since for all I know this is a big thing in Louisiana —  irides centi   (talk to me!)  20:21, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I see no point in this. Also, from the page (at the time of this vote): "This list includes people who are not necessarily Cajun." --Whstchy 20:29, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I think what the author means by that is that there's some peculiarly Cajun method of making the instruments that they follow —  irides centi   (talk to me!)  20:48, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Good point, still delete though.--Whstchy 21:07, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I know... another list. However, does a list get removed because the "red links" have yet to be written?  Plenty of other lists have this same issue yet stay on.  See List of Cajun musicians.  Noone outside Louisiana knows these people however, they are well known in the state.  What percentage of the world has to know these people before the article can stay?  Lets say the articles on the Presidents of the US haven't been written yet, a list of them is place on Wikipedia, causing lots of "red links".  Does this list no longer matter?  Should it be removed???   However...... do what you wish.--User:falcanary
 * Delete. I can see no value to this list. The phrase 'This list includes people who are not necessarily Cajun' concerns me. If the instruments are made in a unique way for Cajun music, that deserves a mention on the instruments page or maybe even a new page and exponents can be listed there. If the maker of, say triangles, is renowned for their skill they deserve an article, regardless of what genre of music their instruments are played in. Unfortunately, what we appear to have here is a list of people who make instruments that are used in Cajun music, and that isn't notable. Nuttah68 12:54, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
