ZZ Top equipment

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Great band, nice gear, but there is no reason this cannot be handled in individual sections for the musicians, as is customary for just about every other musician (properly verified of course, not with links to manufacturers' websites). In addition, such lists for drummers especially quickly fall into the NOTDIR category. Strictly speaking the list is a misnomer anyway, since "ZZ Top equipment" is much more than the gear the musicians happen to be using--it should involve the entire PA and backline, the monitoring, the different set-ups for different shows, not to mention the studio equipment (including mixing boards, microphones, microphone pre-amps, cables, monitor speakers, recorders, etc.). Such a list, if it met the promise of the title, would not just be unwieldy, it would be impossible to make. Drmies (talk) 23:54, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Merge to the band members' pages. Seems the logical choice.  I guess the article would then redirect to ZZ Top. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:51, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Speedy Keep per WP:SK, "fails to advance an argument for deletion—perhaps only proposing a non-deletion action such as moving or merging. Also, the nomination's claim that a detailed inventory of their equipment cannot be made seems quite false as the article already points to a source which does exactly that, from the Dunlop Gel guitar picks to the Celestion speakers.  I'm so impressed by the sources which are out there for this that I now plan to start a list of guitars and corresponding articles about the most notable instruments such as Billy Gibbons' Pearly Gates.

 * Speedy Keep per WP:Speedy keep(1) since the nominator proposed "a non-deletion action such as moving or merging, and no one other than the nominator recommends that the page be deleted". The nominator is suggesting a merge, not a delete. -   t  u coxn \ talk 09:59, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep per SK 1. Merge discussions can occur on article talk pages. Northamerica1000(talk) 04:28, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment Wow. OK, if that many people consecutively want a speedy keep, then I guess I won't stand in their way. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 14:44, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
