Dunlop
This pagename is a brand of a musical audio effect product. The device is a brand of Wah-wah pedal which is redirected to the musical effect Wah-wah. It probably could be Merged into Wah-wah if someone thinks that it is a notable brand, otherwise Delete. Another factor is that the Dunlop brand is more highly recognized for automobile tires. hydnjo talk 02:57, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Merge and/or Delete. hydnjo talk 03:11, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)Keep. See below- 25500 web hits for +Dunlop +"wah-wah". Merge and keep as disambiguation (also to John Boyd Dunlop of the tire empire and John Thomas Dunlop who was briefly in Gerald Ford's cabinet). Samaritan 04:53, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

- Delete, nothing here worth merging. Megan1967 06:33, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Cleanup into disambig page. In addition to Dunlop tires, there's Dunlop golf balls, and lots more. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:08, Feb 10, 2005 (UTC)
- Cleanup into disambiguation. There's also prominent Australian war hero Edward "Weary" Dunlop and the suburb Dunlop, Australian Capital Territory which is named after him. Capitalistroadster 18:21, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Comment if someone starts a Dunlop disambib page then I think this article should be moved to Dunlop pedal - hydnjo talk 01:01, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- See also: Dunlop Manufacturing, Inc. and Jim Dunlop for articles about this product. It seems to be pretty fragmented (spread around under several pagenames) right now and with links from musicians (eg:Jimmy Hendrix) to articles other than this Dunlop article. Is there any reason not to move this to Dunlop pedal right now, withdraw the VFD, and then try to tie the other articles together in some way? hydnjo talk 01:42, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Yes. ☺ Rewritten article. Keep. Uncle G 20:01, 2005 Feb 11 (UTC)
- Keep. I'm changing my vote after the work done by Uncle G. Thanks Uncle. I still think that Dunlop Manufacturing, Inc. needs to be linked to Wah-wah and Wah-wah pedal because of its prominence as a brandname for those effects and devices. hydnjo talk 23:39, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: Well done, Uncle G Capitalistroadster 23:57, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Strong Keep. Added some links with thanks to Uncle G for the framework. hydnjo talk 01:10, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Good work! =) --Andylkl 07:39, Feb 13, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. It's nice to see a rehabilitated page. Carrp | Talk 04:09, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
