Gibson Dark Fire

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This page is for a Gibson Les Paul guitar submodel only produced for two years. The model was limited in production and mostly a novelty item. It is not notable as other Les Paul submodels such as the Custom and Studio are and to put it on the same playing field is an oversight. Furthermore, the article is uncited.

Merge into Gibson Les Paul#Models and variations. Model does not appear to be an independently notable instrument. Pax 00:31, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep: meets WP:NPRODUCT and WP:GNG, there is also this in addition to the mentioned sources. Although the notability is borderline, three dedicated, reliable sources is usually enough to justify WP:GNG. Esquivalience ^t 01:09, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Gibson Les Paul#Models and variations. There are sources, but I don't think there's enough coverage yet for a standalone article. Obviously if increased coverage turns up (say by a notable band making prominent use of this model), we can turn it back into an article then.
