[edit] Montreal West Operatic Society

Montreal West Operatic Society (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

No assertion of notability, fails WP:V and WP:RS, no sources provided to support notability. No reason why what seems like a very minor Gilbert-and-Sullivan-performing company should be intrinsically notable per se. Moreschi ^Deletion! 09:59, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Community theatre groups are generally not notable according to WP:MUS and WP:ORG, and this one has no particularly notable aspect. -- Ssilvers 16:30, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete due to lack of sources or evidence that such sources would ever appear. Generic community operatic company. Guy (Help!) 20:18, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep the information in Wikipedia, either as a standalone article or by merging or renaming as an article for community activities. Even if a single group isn't noteworthy, community activities collectively in a major city can be, and this article would make a good start for a collection of information on them.

• Delete. Longstanding and worthy organisation but not a notable one. For comparison the Arbroath Amateur Operatic Society has been performing G&S (as well as other operettas and musicals) since 1903 and it still wouldn't make the cut for the same reasons as the Montreal West Operatic Society. The only interesting point is that it claims to be the oldest specialist G&S Soc in Canada. -- Derek Ross | Talk 00:01, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
