Completely duplicative of clarinet article. SarekOfVulcan (talk) 04:51, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: It's not duplicative, and it has the potential to grow as an article to discuss the nuances of the C and A clarinets in more detail (which would be unwieldy in a large article like the Clarinet). While I plan to pull more sources when I have the time, see "The C clarinet" in The Cambridge Companion to the Clarinet for one good example. Why? I Ask (talk) 07:32, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
redirect to Clarinet Surely we do not need clarinet and soprano clarinet and clarinet family. The issue here is that the article on the usual sort of clarinet is written badly, not that it needs to be distinguished from other sorts (which what we have hatnotes for).

Then would you also support a merge of bass clarinet and such articles? Why? I Ask (talk) 17:22, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I think this is the wrong approach, but there is a problem here. The distinction of these articles is logical: soprano clarinet is a specific type of instrument, while clarinet is the instrumental family and should provide a broad overview of clarinets. However, I'm not opposed to a merge of clarinet family into the latter due to overlap and think that may be worth exploring instead. Regardless, this article should not be merged into the overarching topic article any more than bass clarinet or E-flat clarinet as it is not a redundant topic. I'll leave few references below that may help patch this article up

Those should help in article development, I can supply more if needed. UpTheOctave! • 8^va? 21:01, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I agree with UpTheOctave! & the article aligns with Wikipedia's General Notability Guideline (GNG) and meets the requirements of WP:N and WP:NMUSIC." Maxcreator (talk) 17:40, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
