The Bob
Looks unverifiable and smells of vanity. Blue Man Group doesn't mention any such instrument, and anyway, the only claim here is that it's "similar" to what they use. CDC (talk) 23:30, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
 * keep It is a real instrument, just give me some more time to add on more to the article--Jakewater 23:37, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Here is PROOF that it exists go to http://www.bluemanlibrary.com/instruments.php and scroll down to the TUBULUM and that is a picture of what is similar to the bob.--Jakewater 23:41, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Either the page needs a complete overhaul, or maybe more substantial information can be provided. Looks like a vanity page to me too. le petit vagabond 23:47, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Blue Man Group was there first, and have the advantage of being notable. TCC (talk) (contribs) 23:49, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Not quite, the insturment just happens to be very similar to the one from the blue man group,i am using it to compare.--Jakewater 00:04, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, from your description it's closer to the PVC than the Tubulum anyway. The Tubulum has the rubber "reeds" on the end and is played with drumsticks; the PVC is bare pipe and is struck with paddles. And it's still not notable.  Where would we have seen a performance with this instrument? TCC (talk) (contribs) 00:14, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
 * At deerfield high school they make many preformances of the bob. Just give me a chance to put some more information on it, then once ive put all of the information on it, then you cna decide if you want to delete it.--Jakewater 00:45, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge to deerfield high school. -- JJay 22:50, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Merging would be absolutely idiotic! The bob is not the same as Deerfield Highschool. Just keep it the way it is now, and then after a while it will be edited.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jakewater (talk • contribs) 16:13, 14 December 2005  Note: This is user's second "Keep" vote.
 * Ok, I've crossed out my vote along with your second vote. Neither of us want to be idiotic, right?-- JJay 01:13, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
 * i crossed out thing i said to, i should have worded it differently--Jakewater 03:42, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete as original research unless outside references are provided. Movementarian 04:04, 18 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete - not notable; reference to Blue Man Group appears to be desperation, for if the tabulum and the bob are the same instrument, BMG's prior use of it would give the tabulum name more weight. Only the high school band is referring to an instrument called a bob; the term must become much more widespread before entering here. B.Wind 04:27, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - The fact that something is called "The Bob" in one high school band may be a fact, it may even be verifiable... but it is utterly and completely unencyclopedic. FCYTravis 07:04, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - utterly insignificant. --Agamemnon2 18:38, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete - Insignificant, original research. Tom Foolery 14:17, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep - This is a real insturnment and i am surprised that none of you have heard of it! I know there are some websites talking about the bob that i could put on in the article--Crstar20 08:38, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment - The above user has only a handful of edits to his name, about half of which are vandalism. &rarr; Ξxtreme Unction |yakkity yak 11:33, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment - Indeed, one the vandalized articles is the one under discussion, just about a week ago. TCC (talk) (contribs) 22:38, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment - dispite that fact, he still brings up a good point. It is a real insturnment. It seems as if the only reason that people are trying to delete this article is because of the name, if this insturments name was something like the "Jiolin" or some random name, people would agree that it is a real insturnment--Jakewater 19:54, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
 * No. Please read the votes. Whether or not it's real is entirely beside the point. And please don't separate my sig from my comments. TCC (talk) (contribs) 20:01, 22 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Transwiki to Wiktionary - Unless more can be added this is a definition anyway. — Preceding unsigned comment added by James084 (talk • contribs)
