Consolidation of modern didgeridoo designs into one article
The issue with the modern didgeridoo designs - including spiral didgeridoo - is that they don't fit into the traditional didgeridoo category, and if there is going to be an expansion in the description of modern didgeridoo designs on wiki, it's better that this happens under a separate article heading, because it will otherwise clutter the existing didgeridoo article. Also, these modern didgeridoo developments are not true didgeridoos, and it's arguable that they shouldn't be included to any great extent under the current didgeridoo article. To represent these distinct musical instrument innovations, I propose that the compromise solution is to have a separate article covering modern didgeridoo designs under the one heading. This would include slidedidge, travelbox, spiral didgeridoo, etc.. Cheers.John Moss (talk) 01:11, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * As the author of the spiral didgeridoo article, I'm ok with the article being deleted, on the basis that there is a consensus that a broader article on modern didgeridoo innovations is an appropriate solution - not just for spiral didgeridoo, but also for the other modern didge designs, including the articles on didgebox and travel didgeridoo, which are also up for deletion. Collectively, there shouldn't be any argument on the notablility of modern didgeridoo innovations. It would be nice to have some feedback and consensus on this. I appreciate constructive collaboration. John Moss (talk) 01:38, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I see no evidence of notability for modern didgeridoo innovations. There is a major lack of coverage in independent reliable sources. duffbeerforme (talk) 11:31, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
 * P 95, Illustrated Encyclopedia Musical Instruments, Wade-Mathews,M., 2003: "McMahon has also played the didgeridoo with London Philharmonic Orchestra, and invented an instrument that he calls the "didgeribone". As its name suggests, it is a cross between a didgeridoo and a trombone, and consists of two wooden tubes placed one inside the other." That's a modern didgeridoo innovation citing in encyclopedic document.John Moss (talk) 01:48, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
