 * Delete: fails WP:LISTPEOPLE and almost reads like a Yellow Pages of where to find someone to teach you how to play the instrument (WP:NOTYELLOW). Richard3120 (talk) 15:59, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep: The instrument, both historically and within the scope of service and brass bands globally, remains significant, though within a rapidly growing global population, increasingly difficult to identify experts in as the genre has not expanded proportionately. This is valuable information, and the page has a history in that it was created to separate this clearly desired information by some segment of the user community, from the page on the instrument itself, which was subject to continual modification to add, delete, or vandalize entries regarding both players (also extracted with a notability rule added that is being enforced) and this page for instructors. Deletion will simply bring back the issues with inclusion of this information in a page where it does not belong, as history has shown a significant number of people are intent on publishing it.--Rwberndt (talk) 09:00, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTDIRECTORY. For Wikipedia lists of people, on topics such as this one where the whole list is not itself both of limited size and sourceable as a unit, we should only list notable people (those with their own Wikipedia articles), but that would cut this list down to zero length. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:55, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete -- WP is not a directory. There's also some issues of a coat rack going on, with the institution linked but not the instructors (because they are all non notable). K.e.coffman (talk) 03:17, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
