I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. " It seems to have been deleted and recreated; and I do not believe this version addresses any of my concerns. References are problematic: primary/difficult to verify/what I can verify seems to mention him in passing. In essence, he had a small business. Yes, he made some guitars, and his name was a niche brand name, but I am not seeing anything here that would make him encyclopedic. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:54, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak delete: Those are extremely cool resonators. We know that "notability guidelines" differ for different endeavors, with "artists" and "bands" and "books" having their own. A boutique guitar maker simply isn't going to generate the sorts of press than even Rickenbacher does. So, the question is whether we cover any or none. If we cover any, then we need to recognize some of the references given in that article (if verified) and auctions. If none, then we apply corporate standards. Until there is a guide for something like this, I'm forced to say delete. Hithladaeus (talk) 14:21, 16 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
