Consolidation of modern didgeridoo design trends in separate article as compromise to deletion
I think it is a mistake to totally delete the spiral didgeridoo article because the spiral didgeridoo is a distinctive musical instrument and musical instrument evolutionary path, being a fusion of both the didgeridoo and the natural horn, it is not as such the same a traditional didgeridoo (traditional instrument of Aboriginal Australians) and therefore can not really be well represented under the heading of didgeridoo. The spiral didgeridoo is also a noteworthy evolution from the true didgeridoo, converging with the evolutionary path of the horn. Also, because an instrument that is in its early stage of evolution does not mean that it's not noteworthy. For Wikipedia to exclude these noteworthy musical instrument developments would limit this encyclopedias ability as a reference of current trends. I think that would be a travesty.

However, because there are several other distinctive and modern didgeridoo trends in design (with wiki articles also cited for deletion i.e. travel didgeridoo), another option/compromise might to consolidate the design changes to the traditional didgeridoo under a separate article heading, with a heading something along the lines of "modern didgeridoo designs". This way the distinctive and notworthy features of these didgeridoo inovations can be expanded on, and also not complicate and compromise the traditional didgeridoo subject matter of the wiki didgeridoo article. I think that's a practical compromise.John Moss (talk) 01:11, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
