Speedy keep, the nominator does not propose a valid WP:DEL-REASON. The nominator does not say which notability guideline this article fails to meet. SailingInABathTub (talk) 10:31, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Also known as fret-hand muting this type of mute (music)#Fretted quickly turned up in a For Dummies book, ISBN 9780470550182. Uncle G (talk) 10:58, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Valid guitar technique (wow, I can actually use something I learned in college on Wikipedia!). I mean, I personally prefer palm muting with the right hand, but this technique works too. Needs some sourcing, and perhaps if there are some properly licensed drawings or photographs to illustrate the technique, that would be a good thing to add. But the subject itself is fine. AfD is NOT CLEANUP! Hyperion35 (talk) 17:30, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete even more dictionary definition. Wikipedia is not a dictionary, we do not have articles just to define every term.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:58, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. A very quick search turned up six references, which I've added (with inline citations). The "unsourced" argument does not apply here: article could use some more work, but deletion is not the appropriate reaction to this state of affairs. jp×g 02:52, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
