How can a brochure printed and distributed by the manufacturer at the time of production be classed as an unreliable source? I'd have thought the sales literature from the period was as reliable as it gets? —Preceding unsigned comment added by MrGorsky (talk • contribs) 20:31, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think you're referring to this edit, and you're right... the problem with sales brochures is not that they're unreliable (they may be... cymbal manufacturers' brochures are often very unreliable, particularly older ones, but drum brochures are generally OK, and Yamaha are generally OK) but rather that they are not secondary sources at all.

So they're still not what we want even if reliable. This has been highlighted as a problem before [1]. Andrewa (talk) 01:23, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

EEEK! Spot the mistakes...

See [2] for some rather frank discussion of this image.

My first reaction actually was... should the article exist at all? Many Yamaha lines that are far more notable than this one don't have articles.

But many guitar models that are less notable do have articles. So on reflection we should keep this one I think. But it would be good to get a better image. Andrewa (talk) 01:29, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
