Richard Echeverria (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log) Delete no sources to indicate this person's notability - making instruments for notable people doesn't make you notable, any more than making cheeseburgers for them. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 18:18, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

If he does build instruments for a co-founder of REM I'd call him notable, but we can't know that he actually does with the article unsourced. JeremyMcCracken (talk) 15:33, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

In clarity, it makes more sense to replace the word 'people' with 'musician' in the above reference. Then relevancy becomes pronounced and understandable. So, if I made custom golf clubs for Tiger Woods which of course were not commercially made, that indeed would make me notable. The only 'rational' reason I can see for this deletion is that it is not sourced as you say. It does grieve me to think of all the 'notable', fascinating and truthfull information that will get deleted and have no home due to so-called notability. Somehow to me the premise of Wiki's is just that: publishing truthfull and notable information that otherwise is unpublished. If in fact information is published somewhere else making it notable/sourced then why go to Wikipedia to begin with? Just go to the notable/published source. Right?
