Swiss Steelpan History

Notability for this subject appears to be less than marginal. The article's author appears to design and build the instrument in question, hence some sticky WP:COI issues. Problems with WP:RS are also evident. Ecoleetage (talk) 13:20, 4 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Unsure The german article (from the same author) has kept itself since february, which states that some notability may be given. Although the author might have some advertising background, I think the sources he provides could be reliable. --PaterMcFly (talk) 16:25, 4 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak delete Possibly notable subject, but the badly translated article reads like WP:COI original research, has no inline references and the sources given do not seem to be especially reliable.  Sandstein   14:50, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Weak keep - needs more sources, but appears to be legitimately notable --T-rex 00:37, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, synthesis. Phlegm Rooster (talk) 01:53, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * What is this a synthesis of? --T-rex 02:42, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * A reading of WP:SYN might help clarify the question here. B.Wind (talk) 04:05, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, that is what I meant. It's clear that the author is using his intimate personal knowledge of the Steelpan scene in Switzerland, and has written a piece of decent original research. Wikipedia is not the place to publish original research. Phlegm Rooster (talk) 09:22, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * That is more or less what I assumed, but I personally don't see a problem in combining Steelpan History with a particular country. --T-rex 15:03, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
