[edit] Permian High School Band

Permian High School Band (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

High school band. Need I say more? It has been in a movie, and won some HS band awards, but common sense says this should be a part of the Permian High School article, and be turned into a redirect to that page. Cornell Rockey 04:35, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

• Redirect to Permian High School. bibliomaniac15 05:27, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Way better than average high school band. Edison 05:51, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nom/ or redirect. C56C 06:21, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
• Merge into main school's article. May be better than the average band, but then I'm sure there's a lot of those. Alex43223 ^{Talk | Contribs | E-mail | C} 07:20, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect, to Permian High School, maybe put a section on the band. Sr13 (T|C) ^{Editor review} 07:39, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. The band "has earned 47 straight "1" ratings from UIL band contests". It seems much more notable than a regular high school band. Also please note that the creator is a new user to WP and is still in the process of adding sources and improving the article (see the article's talk page). Also, multiple mentions in external sources indicate that notability is/can be established. At the least, merge to Permian High School but don't delete. -- Black Falcon 07:55, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep If information is indeed confirmed, then this is quite notable. The band has a noteworthy history and this makes more notable than other bands. I'd recommend merging if this is not kept. - Anas ^Talk? 11:58, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep if the awards are confirmed. Redirect to the relevant school if not (any referenced info can be merged) - Mgm|^(talk) 12:50, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
• comment despite its notability, I'm pushing for merge & redirect as keeping this article separate from the Permian High School article would set a precedent for keeping unique articles for high schools clubs when they are notable, instead of keeping them as part of the article for the high schools they belong to. The day wikipedia has an article for every championship high school chess team, FFA club, jazz band and tennis team is bad day for this encyclopedia. Cornell Rockey 14:34, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
• merge to the school in question. Niffweed17, Destroyer of Chickens 15:15, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
• Merge into main school's article. I'm from west texas, grew up in Midland/Odessa, went to HS locally and I can honestly say, I've never heard anything special in regards to the PHS band. It is a high school band. HIGH SCHOOL. Make it part of the PHS page. Fuhreeus 16:45, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
• Comment Maybe people seem to think a 1 rating is first place it is not. It is like a division. Many schools have 1 rate bands that have never dropped back.--Dacium 21:16, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
• Comment Since I am the creator of the article, you know what I will say as far as keep or delete. However, I do have some comments. In reference to Dacium, Yes, the "1" isn't first place but the fact that the Permian Band has never gotten anything but a "1" in it's existence and is the only school in Texas, I believe (There may be one more), that has a streak of "1" ratings ever since creation is different than just getting a "1" on occasion. The other thing I would have to say is that the main article, Permian High School, is more for the football and Friday Night Lights portion of the school. I would rather it be merged if faced with deletion but the addition of such would be out of place, in my opinion. Eaglesmarty08 21:32, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

• Merge Regardless how their Awards or talent, this is a High School band. There are Colligate or Higher level Bands or Music groups with more notabilltiy that don't have articles.Corporal Punishment 23:44, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
• Merge. The school's own article can and certainly should be more than just football and Friday Night Lights, and that is where this content (stripped of the directory entries) belongs. Also, I am not saying there was any intent to deceive with the use of "straight 1 rating", but there is clearly the potential to mislead, and I thank you for the clarification.

• Merge and Cleanup, specifically per Fuhreeus's local knowledge. WMMartin 13:52, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Give me a break. A WikiPedia article on a high school band? What's next, a WikiPedia article on the school's chess club? Dumb.Sockem 18:40, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
• Merge then Delete. Vegaswikian 03:57, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
