Forgive me if I'm doing this wrong or if I'm waisting time with an article that shouldn't be deleted, it's my first Article for Deletion. I don't see anything notable in this article that seems that it'd be worth keeping. However I'm not a guitar player, yet the first sentance "...that manufacture a diverse collection of affordable acoustic guitars, other stringed instruments, and accessories." Seems to be on the side of advertising to me.  Shadowed   Soul  18:01, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the present content is promotional. Back in 2006 this was one of someone's very first articles.  He left it like this and never edited it again, and it's decayed somewhat since, with some marketing-speak occasionally inserted by drive-by IP editors.  This is why, once you've written a Wikipedia article, you have to watchlist it and defend it forever after. On the plus side, there are some excellent sources available for Tanglewood Guitars and it would be possible to write a decent, if short, article.  I'll get started on that now.— S Marshall  T/C 20:22, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Make that "reasonable sources", but I hope the revised stub will give other editors a basis to work on.— S Marshall T/C 20:55, 5 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep. A very well known and long-established guitar company. --Michig (talk) 08:05, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, in fairness to Shadowed Soul, it's only well-known to you and me because we're both British guitar players.— S Marshall T/C 10:06, 6 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep The nominator is indeed doing it wrong and should please see WP:BEFORE wherein it is emphasised that issues which may be addressed by ordinary editing, such as a promotional tone, should not be brought here. Colonel Warden (talk) 11:08, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep. This business makes acoustic guitars, and as such seems to have attracted genuinely disinterested notice. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 02:42, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is a household name in the guitar world. It is a senseless decision to remove the article on basis of lacking notability. 82.132.136.142 (talk) 20:37, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
