Talk:List of horn players

message: I really disagree with linking to to the german wikipedia for these horn players. Please just create the page in the english wikipedia and add the language link as is normally done. I'll revert the changes for now and create a stub or two perhaps. Kenkoo1987, I noticed that you speak a bit of german. Why don't you try translating a bit of some of these pages? Thanks for looking at the page though. Horndude77 19:18, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

message: I noticed that there is a similar page hornist. Any comments on which page we should keep? Horndude77 19:20, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  similar page 

message: I'm a bit confused over some of the removals recently. One of them a former prinipal in the berlin phil, one a teacher in vienna, and one even had a link to a page about the player! I added most of them back in and took one out that was added out because of the google test (no information, correct me if this is wrong). The german horn page has more information on many of these players if there is any doubt of them belonging. Horndude77 21:53, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  removed players 

message: Someone recently added a subtopic for horn players to the main article; I started to add some players to that list and then discovered this list.  Should this list be merged into the main article?  This list is somewhat more restricted since it only includes players for whom there is already an WP article. David 17:32, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I deleted the horn players related to west Genesee high school because they are neither notable nor have an article. Isn't it so new and refreshing when some high school freshman has the original idea of putting all their friends on Wikipedia? Plus they spelled wind ensemble wrong.--Esmason 05:57, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  DELETED 

message: Does anyone know of some of these people - I can find no information about them on Google: Jennifer Ohmer,  Sally Ng,  Elizabeth O'hearn,  Jonathan Koenig,  and Matthew Collins.  Also, it seems this list is a little hefty, and while no offense to any individuals, why include 3 people from the Hong Kong Phil, but only one from the San Francisco Symphony?  I think this should be narrowed down, with more detail on those people it does include, maybe even years for those in orchestral positions (it's not very clear that many people have left the positions that are listed). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Csdorman (talk • contribs) 17:48, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Who are they? 

message: Who is Jelanie Hill - how is s/he notable?  A google search turned up nothing but this and other related wikipedia pages, nothing on who they are or what notable thing they've done.  Csdorman 01:26, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Could somebody please explain me the reason of removing such players like Mason Jones, Georges Barboteu, Vitaly Buyanovsky, Louis-François Dauprat, Erich Penzel, Hans Pizka, Michael Holtzel, Anton Horner, Wendell Hoss and some others from the list? I suppose all of them are worth to be considered notable. Alexey.tses (talk) 23:31, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed persons 

message: I think that Xaver Reiter should be added to this list. He was a very prominent French hornist during the late 19th century and early 20th century. For those not familiar with him, here is an excellent article written about his life: http://www.rjmartz.com/hornplayers/Reiter-X/

message: At the top of the article it says  This seems pretty clearthey are notable players of those instruments. What it does not say is that it should include people who are notable for another reason but who happen to be or to have been a horn player. An example would be Arthur C. Brooksyes notable, no not a notable horn player. I do understand (I hope I am not pursuing this one example too hard when I am really talking about the general principle) that he is notable for what he is now: I just don't see that he is or was a notable horn player. If his story was only that of his horn career as stated in his article, he would not be in this list. I therefore don't see why he is in it now when his notability has nothing to do with the horn. If this is a list of notable horn players then people like Brooks should not be in it; conversely, if it is just meant to be a list of notable people some of whom also play the hornwhich I really don't think it should or can bethen that repurposing would need to be discussed, but not just assumed and tacitly executed.

replies: text: From his biographical article, it does appear that Brooks was once a notable horn player. Do please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me (based on this one example, at least), is "can a once-notable horn player still be included on this list if he went on to establish a second, higher-visibility career in another field?"—Jerome Kohl (talk) 01:43, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for that  and I'm sorry for the very slow reply (long story). Briefly, yesyou're right, that is indeed the question made implicit by my badly-thought-out example! I rather lazily didn't read up thoroughly on the significance of Brooks's horn career and, whilst I don't know exactly how our rules on notability work for him, I can see that there is easily plenty of scope to see him as notable then. So, yep, it is a stupid question as it stands, based on a stupid example. My more general point is (/should have been) whether a non-notable horn playera genuinely non-notable one and not, as I now cheerfully concede, Mr Brooksshould be listed here where their actual notability is in football or design or banana-growing or whateverthehell. I continue to feel that such people shouldn't be in such a list and, unless someone tells me otherwise, I will continue to remove them when I feel it's pretty clear. But not Arthur C Brooks!

thread_title:  Notability 

message: Following on from the question above, do you think that John Entwistle should be listed on this page? I see what it says in his article but I am not convinced that this makes him a notable horn player as mentioned in the lead and just above. I'm tempted to just remove him and see if anyone minds, but let's see if there are some other views to express here. I've taken out a couple of others but I really thought they were beyond doubt ...

message: Yeah. Gerd Seifert, French hornist, lead on the Berlin Phil's insane recording of Schumann's Konzertstück für 4 Hörner und Orchester.
Seriously missing from this 'significant' horn player list. Just sayin'... What do you need, here? (talk) 07:55, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
