Talk:vibraphone player

Non-idiomatic sum of parts. I think some weird argument was dreamed up to keep tennis player: etc. but it was to do with the nature of sport and amateur vs. professional play. Equinox ◑ 21:08, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

 * There are professional vibraphone players also. I'm not that happy about this, but keep per precedent. &#x200b;— msh210 ℠ 17:47, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
 * There is a precedent, but I don't think it applies to this entry. If basketball player means "professional basketball player" by ellipsis ok, but I don't think this does. That would open the door for an RFV AFAICT. Mglovesfun (talk) 13:46, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
 * The precedent is based largely on the answer to the question "What do you do?" For instance Nadal would answer "I'm a tennis player" or "Soy tenista". But a person who plays the vibraphone for a living would probably answer "I'm a musician". I recommend delete. As an aside, I do not agree with the phrase "some weird argument was dreamed up" above, and I do not see this deletion as a foot in the door to reopen the original debate. -- A LGRIF  talk 20:07, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Fails, not the most amazing consensus but the best we're gonna get. Mglovesfun (talk) 00:43, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
