Delete, to my interpretation of WP:CORP this fails notability guidelines and is advertisement in my opinion. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 00:13, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

To the above contributor: If you have ever been to LAPR's facilities in LA, or to any of their music events (including hosting private concerts for CalArts renowned faculty and graduates, you'd have a different perspective. Off the top of my head, I can remember these notable people personally visiting/performing at LAPR: Emil Richards, Evelyn Glennie, Remo Belli, Michel Gondry...and supplying the percussion instruments for national and international tours (Sting, Star Wars in Concert...), as well as popular musicians such as Beck (for recording) and dozens of others I can't remember. In fact, Apple rented LAPR instruments for some of its sounds a few years ago. If there is some wording that needs to be changed, fine. But this article references publications and warrants an article, considering it's one of the most impressive commercial percussion collections on the West Coast and/or USA.

Merge into Emil Richards. The company in and of itself fails WP:CORP but is significant in the sense of Richards' notability and extensive collection. Faustus37 (talk) 05:27, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Emil Richards Fails WP:CORP, a company is not notable because it is owned by someone notable or because notable people have worked/performed or simply been there:(notability is neither inherent nor inherited. besieged^talk 18:37, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
