[edit] Chatham Chorale

Chatham Chorale (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

As author, I am not sure if this truly meets the notibility guidelines for a Wikipedia article. I'd like some input from the WP community. Knowing Is Half The Battle 22:48, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

    • Note I didn't nessacarialy state that the article should be deleted, I listed it as a courtesy to the Wikipedia Community, to get a consensus as to if it met notability requirements. Knowing Is Half The Battle 06:01, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak delete does not appear to be notable according to WP:MUSIC. No sources cited other than their website. Kavadi carrier 00:15, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep! Chorales are good and Wikipedia has been delete happy as of late and I fear that many contributor's hard work will discourage participants and will detract from our ability to catalog human knowledge, the purpose of an encyclopedia.

  • Delete, fails WP:MUSIC, non-notable local WP:ORG. And while "[c]horale are good," that hardly seems like a criterion for inclusion. --Kinu t/c 05:38, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
Well, maybe this is one that should be given more time to grow at least? --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 00:47, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak KeepFound two cites, added to article. American Record Guide and Wall Street Journal. AMG was not too praising of group, but you don't have to sing perfectly to be notable, you just have to get press coverage. Can only see abstract of Wall Street Journal article which mentions them. But still, that's two independent mainstream articles, so pretty good for a community chorus and seems to meet criteria. Edison 05:54, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete I would say that it may just be covered by one of the criteria in WP:MUSIC but only just. I would suggest that they are still non-notable. Localzuk(talk) 21:15, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
