• You don't need an afd discussion if you want to merge. You don't need an afd discussion to do anything other than to delete. Speedy keep and work out the merger on the respective articles' talk pages, where it belongs. —Cryptic 20:05, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy keep per Cryptic, though I'd suggest you be bold and merge it yourself. -FunnyMan 20:24, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
• comment I'm not sure what to keep, if anything, for a merge. I really lean towards delete personally, but precedent seems to indicate that HS bands merit mention in their respective high school articles. If you'd like to be bold, go for it and I'll withdraw the nomination. Cornell Rockey 20:32, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, do NOT merge They're winning national rankings in competitions. That should mean they have local newspaper articles specifically about them. That passes WP:NOTABILITY. That is justification for keeping them under Wikipedia policy, and if they're that good, I think they should remain. Merge and I assume you'll find supporters of the band reversing your merge.

I am a member of the band. I don't know if I can vote to keep my own article. There will be a full article in Tuesday's Detroit Free press (Page 2, March 6th 2007) about the band. As well I have a large amount (20 or more) articles from the Detroit News & Free Press, Ann Arbor News, as well as local newspapers about the band's national reputation in the last four years. [1] (Just one example. I have many more.) I believe this to be a very notable thing. Refusetobesilenced

• Keep Notable for being in the top rankings in national competitions year after year. Edison 00:39, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Extremely notable high school marching band (one of the most notable high school marching bands). --- RockMFR 00:43, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. I have added six references citing newspaper articles about the band including the Detroit Free Press. I believe this adds to it's notability? Refusetobesilenced 23:05, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Keep One of the best, well documented (now). --Hobit 19:06, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, its notable and referenced. Needs a bit of a clean up. LordHarris 00:24, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
