Talk:Drop C tuning

message: There are too many artists in the article...
we should show only 5-10 for an example...
not 50 (or whatever) like now...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.113.114.7 (talk) 20:40, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

text: I also don't see how narrowing it down to 5-10 would be beneficial.  What about removing the six red linked bands? nailPuppy (talk) 01:41, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

text: I agree that the list is pretty useless - by being so large, it seems to imply that it is somehow vaguely comprehensive, while it is nowhere near. Also, many MANY of the bands/songs listed are in different definitions of Drop C (as discussed in the article) - it's not all that interesting to list them all if which one is used is not specified.

replies: text:  I've been watching this page, and there's a lot of energy going into adding artists to that list - despite the fact that it's not clear _which_ definition of the tuning any of those artists use, and that it's far too large to be useful, and too small to be comprehensive. It's somewhat like trying to list sample guitarists in the 'guitarist' article, no? I'd suggest either removing it entirely, or having a few easy-to-find 'famous' 'notable' samples to illustrate what it sounds like. Luminifer (talk) 06:33, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

text: I'm going to remove the artists section unless someone objects - it's really taking up a lot of peoples' time and adds no value. It would be useful if it had samples of what Drop C tuning sounded like, but as it is it's just a random sampling of everyones' favorite bands who may or may not use one of the three Drop C tunings.

replies: text: We need to get a list back- that was pretty much the most useful part of the page. Can't it just be stated that drop C is technically CADGBE, but in modern guitar parlance drop C universally refers to CGCFAD? Also, in what universe does drop C have 'anything' to do with CFA#D#GC tuning? That tuning is always called C standard or E standard down two steps. The list needs to come back, and it needs to be checked so it only includes bands that are using CGCFAD. This can be checked by looking at tablature from www.ultimate-guitar.com
Thanks.  The list gives me a chance to hear the tuning in action.  I don't have access to all of the artists, so it's good to be able to find one or two that I do have access to.  If the list were any shorter, I'd have fewer options. 65.92.118.124 (talk) 04:58, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Why is the 'F' word edited out in the title 'Dressed to Fuck?'  No other articles have the profanity edited out, and I can't fix it because, apparently, typing the word "fuck" on here will be vandalism 100% of the time. 65.189.210.173 (talk) 10:11, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That wasn't actually an editor that reverted your edit for possible vulgarity, it was a bot (one of the larger ones on Wikipedia). You could have reported it as a False Positive. I've changed the name to "Dressed to Fuck" as it should be, hopefully it will stay that way now. nailPuppy (talk) 06:08, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Now that someone has confirmed it, I'll remove this. Really, all the bands should be removed - I'm sure most of them are incorrect. Luminifer (talk) 01:18, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

message: This article, Drop D tuning, and any other similar articles should be merged into a single article (Drop tuning?).  There's no way Drop C on its own merits an entire article. Curly Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 01:10, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

message: This article has become one large WP:LISTCRUFT of largely unsourced band names.  Out of around 280 mentions, I could only count 28 as being sourced.   Beside that, this article is not called List of Bands who have used Drop C tuning and this list adds absolutely nothing to the reader's understanding of what it is.  Unless the band uses this this tuning on all their songs, the reader has no idea which songs it features on, or what it sounds like.
This problem has been noted above, 13 years ago, and it's clear that what was said then has been ignored and simply got worse.  It was also restored in April as "A very well researched topic".  I would argue that original research does not belong here, and nothing in the article suggests it is very well done.
So I am going to remove all entries without sources and suggest that only artists who are specifically noted, with sources, as being common users of this tuning should be mentioned, as examples only.  We do not need to attempt an all inclusive list. Escape Orbit (Talk) 13:28, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
