Until then, I'll just start the discussion here.
#EMMONS STEEL GUITAR SERIAL NUMBERS HOW TO#
I don't know how to set up the poll thingy, so if somebody does, please do so. I also think we should abide by the test I advocated above, and that we should discuss that as well (separately). Now that someone has seen fit to re-include him, I think we should discuss whether or not adding him is a good idea. Although there are good reasons to add him, I don't believe that ultimately we can. Of all the people who arguably could be included on the list, Garcia is the most problematic. Veinor (talk to me) 18:27, (UTC) Jerry Garcia: notable or not? If there's a plausible case for notability, then keep it. I went through and removed all the external links, and I'd suggest that somebody (I might sometime) go through and look at the manufacturers and players.

Remember that not everybody with a website is "notable." We could probably stand to do the same for the Manufacturer's section. don't include them because they aren't notable. write an article about them, so their name won't be redlinked, or 3. provide a good Wikipedia link to the (notable) band or whatever the player is or was a part of, 2. If you include a player that turns out to be redlinked, either 1.

For example, if Sri Chinmoy happens to *ahem* play a PSG at many of his concerts, which are attended by thousands of people, he still would not belong on the list because whatever influence he has is not a primary result of his PSG playing.īefore including a player on the list of Notable Players, run them through the test and see if his or her inclusion is justified. "Pedal Steel Guitar Player" means a person whose contibution to the realm of pedal steel guitar is a primary result of the music they made using the instrument or the exposure that music had, either in terms of the artist's longevity or citation among other players, or record sales and concert attendance. For example, Steve Howe plays steel guitar on many Yes songs, but since he used a lap steel, he doesn't go on this list. A pedal is a lever that the player pushes with his or her foot and thereby changes the tuning of the instrument. "Pedal Steel Guitar" means the instrument this person plays or played is a steel guitar that has at least one pedal. He didn't innovate the concept of putting pedals on a steel guitar, but he standardized the layout and function of those pedals, as well as established the most common tuning. He also established the PSG as a solo instrument in its own right. His playing changed the way other players thought about the instrument. For example, Buddy Emmons has contributed mechanical innovations. "Notable" means that the person in question has contributed substantially to the invention, modifications, idiomatic technique, or fame/notorioty/popularity of the instrument, AND has influenced other such people. The constant inclusion and reinclusion of every man Jack who may be known to the world at large to have touched something remotely like a steel guitar (pedals or no) must end! For that purpose, I suggest the following test.ġ. JSC ltd 16:40, 20 April 2007 (UTC) "Notable Pedal Steel Guitar Players"

I think it's okay to keep the redlink as a way to encourage knowledgeable users to write articles. : ) I agree that redlinked articles need to be written, but I don't agree that there should be some kind of time expectation for that. Maybe we can come up with a good test someday. I maintain that there should be an objective standard for this. I also removed some more non-pedal steel players at least David Gilmour wasn't one of them this time! I didn't try to make judgments about who is "notable" and who isn't. Just a note to let y'all know that in a week or so I'm going to go through this section and clear out all the -tagged entries that had such, and I deleted the ones without any available information.
