Quercetani

 * Apparently a Venetian luthier. Delete, non-notable, mis-titled, unverifiable. Slac speak up!  05:34, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable, possible vanity. Megan1967 08:45, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * "Unverifiable"? Google is your friend:, , and more. Well, verifiably not Venetian: he works in Parma, as the article says. Parma is quite some way from Venice, and I don't know how Venice got into this at all. "Mis-titled"? Certainly, and I'd rush to retitle it, but this would throw a spanner into the VfD process. "Possible vanity"? Perhaps 70% or more of new articles are possible vanity, but what makes you think that the possibility here is more than negligible? Admittedly our man hasn't kicked a ball around in front of a US audience or appeared as a Pokemon character (two ironclad guarantees of notability in WP, it seems), but keep. -- Hoary 10:48, 2005 Mar 29 (UTC)
 * Keep luthiers who found schools. Cleanup as necessary Kappa 19:13, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: I hope I'm correct in assuming Kappa means "keep luthiers who establish schools", not "luthiers who managed to find a school which would accept them." Barno 21:49, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Concur w/ User:Hoary. Changed vote to Keep and re-title. Slac speak up!  06:04, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep An important contemporary luthier who&#8217;s instruments are obviously in demand and will likely maintain or increase their value. Need more aticles on current luthers like this one. Paradiso 07:50, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Looks notable to me. Keep and allow for melodic growth. Radiant_* 09:10, Mar 30, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and eventually retitle. Well done to Hoary for his research on an important figure in contemporary classicla music. Capitalistroadster 10:00, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * [Cough] Already retitled, actually (by Paradiso). And thank you for the kind words, but really, the "research" took mere seconds. I suspect that Slac was just sleepy: I know that seeing article after article of vanity and trivia can do in my brain to the point where I hardly notice when the next article is actually worthwhile, and I don't suppose I'm unusual. -- Hoary 10:11, 2005 Mar 30 (UTC)
 * Keep re-written article. --Carnildo 19:36, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
