[edit] Regarding proposed merger
The article Philadelphia (orchestra) that has been proposed for merger with this article is being discussed on Talk:Montreal Symphony Orchestra. __meco 07:06, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
- But Philadelphia (orchestra) claims to be about the "Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra". Are both articles talking about the same band? Grover cleveland 13:20, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
- Why is the fate of this article being discussed on the Montreal Symphony page? No matter. I oppose that as these are two different organizations (with the notability of the PSO yet to be even established in the article). Please reference Disco_orchestration, [1], [2]. You'll have to search the page a bit as this PSO is a peripheral addition to all of them. It appears as this organization is a back-up band for various disco producers in the 1970's.Montco 15:19, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
- The reason this article was mentioned at that other talk page was that these two and a number of similar articles were created simultaneously by the same user and they all seem to suffer from the same discrepancies. This is the list of articles: Montreal (orchestra), London (orchestra), Milan (orchestra), Los Angeles (orchestra), Philadelphia (orchestra) and Detroit (orchestra) (and some that aren't anymore). __meco 15:25, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
- That's fine. It was just odd to read initally. That said, after what I saw on the PSO, I guess would strongly recommend that anyone closely research any of these other "Orchestra" articles before merging anything. The Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra appears to have as much to with the real Philadelphia Orchestra as Guns N' Roses does.Montco 17:04, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
- The Philadelphia (orchestra) article consists, in its entirety, of an unsourced list of musicians. I would recommend deleting that article in its entirety, rather than merging it. Spikebrennan 20:32, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
- I second Spikebrennan's idea of deleting the article, as it needs to be seriously Wikified and is not much of an article at all. Crashintome4196 18:01, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
