[edit] John R. Zeidler

Tagged A7, which is probably valid, but despite the near-zero Google hits I wonder if there might be some merit in this subject. Possibly not, but it is worth thinking about Guy (Help!) 23:10, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete One hit on Factiva - a 418-word obituary in the Philadelphia Inquirer, described as a "master guitar maker". That's certainly not enough in itself and Wikipedia is not a memorial. However, the Zeidler Project to make a commemorative guitar in his honor (and for his child's education) received some coverage in 20th Century Guitar Magazine[1] and Acoustic Guitar[2], and made the front cover of um, American Lutherie[3]. I don't think this level of coverage quite translates to encyclopedic notability though. The fact that its a charity appeal project also dilutes things. Backup evidence from fellow luthiers in favour of the article would be most welcome, as are more opposing arguments. Bwithh 00:06, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
