[edit] Notability

The original of this article was speedied on 8 January 2008. I have notified the original nominator[1] and the deleter[2] of this recreation.

The first was deleted for "(CSD A7 (Band): Article about a band that does not assert significance)".[3]

Adelphia is not a band and the article is sourced to several reliable, third-party sources.

My intention is to create articles for each of the clubs of the Mummers Parade. I knew that Adelphia, as a rare newby in the parade, would be the most difficult to source and/or support against deletion, so I decided to go with them first (they also popped up first in my searches for sources).

My common sense rationale starts with a centuries old parade, an official part of one of the largest cities in the country for over one hundred years. I know that notability is not inherited, but the strict limitations on the admission of new clubs to this institution seems to form a notability criteria. While admission to the Parade is not a "prize" in most senses, I feel it is similar.
