[edit] Youth Orchestra of Greater Columbus

• keep. I believe we consider schools notable (if this is a false statement, someone can strike my vote). We should apply the same approach to youth orchestras, whose principal mission is education of young musicians and not musical performance for audiences. Hence lack of CD's, etc., is to be expected. Appears to be a credible youth orchestra, so no reason to delete by this reasoning. Martinp 03:35, 8 March 2006 (UTC) (serious amateur clarinetist)
• I would go for a speedy delete per {{nn-club}}. I'm not 100% confident in it, so I'll leave another admin to recheck. Stifle 01:16, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. This sets a bad precedent for clubs on Wikipedia if kept. I would guess that every major city in the US, Australia, UK and Canada at least, would have such groups, for all sorts of activities. Unless we're talking about something equivalent to the Boys Choir of Harlem (hint: we're not), this isn't worthy keeping. Harro5 05:43, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Schools are only "notable" by whimsy of consensus, and I'm not inclined to see that notion spread to other non-notable entities. — Adrian Lamo ·· 22:41, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

"Whimsy of consensus" is a peculiar way of putting it. My impression is that there is no consensus at all on the notability of schools, which means they get kept by default. Angr/talk 23:10, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
