Talk:List of pipe organ builders

message: Aside from the first one or two sentences, the rest of the article, or the majority of of this article, is just a list of Organ-building companies (very unencyclopedic). There needs to be a major expansion of the encyclopedic material about Organ builders and the long, long list should be removed. Personally, I feel like this article meets the criteria for speedy deletion. Skyscraper Phoenix 03:30, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll bring this up at WP:PipeOrgan and see what can be done. I agree about the state of the article however.–MDCollins (talk) 11:38, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

text: Agreed to move. Task now is to remove non-notable links, and populate with links from :Category:Organ builders. Suggest sort into two sections - pipe and electronic, and remove US state sections, they can be mentioned inline if necessary. –MDCollins (talk) 18:44, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Still needs more clean up, but the article looks better than it was before. Skyscraper Phoenix 05:03, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

message: This is supposed to be a list of "notable" pipe organ builders, right? 
Not a list of "all" pipe organ builders?  
Accordingly, I propose removing all the redlinked list entries. They can always be re-added later if sources are found that establish notability. Dlabtot (talk) 00:21, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed.  I doubt if even a few of the redlinks will become articles. --Ronz (talk) 01:31, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Non-notable entries should be removed from the list 

message: If you think a manufacturer is notable enough, please find sources and create an article for them.  Remember that notability can  not be established by a self-published sources. Dlabtot (talk) 23:13, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. If they are notable enough to have an article, list it here. Alternatively we can delete the entire article and use a category instead.—MDCollins (talk) 00:59, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  This is a list of [[WP:N|notable]] pipe organ builders, not a list of all pipe organ builders who have a website. 

message: Only one of the organ builders in the Swizerland section is not redlinked WP:WTAF.  It is fair to assume that most of the other entries are not sufficiently notable to merit a wikipedia article.  Their presence is justified by external links to their websites WP:LINKFARM, this has been discussed some years ago, see above. Wayne Jayes (talk) 18:10, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The list in its current state is a mess. Huge amount of entries are unsourced. Right now, it's trying to be a WP:INDISCRIMINATE collection of all organbuilders around the world, making this list unmaintainable. Therefore, I suggest that this list only includes organbuilders that is the subject of an article or own a organbuilding company that is the subject has an article. I will be carrying this out around a week later so please raise concerns if you have one. Thanks, Carpimaps (talk) 11:22, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I will be carrying this out today since no one raised any concerns. Carpimaps (talk) 00:35, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
