[edit] UC Men's Chorale

Non-notable, see Wikipedia:List of bad article ideas — Ian Manka Talk to me! 00:54, 29 May 2006 (UTC) Upon further examination: article violates WP:MUSIC. I find no sites besides the "official" site mention their "international tour." I don't find any notable and verifiable sources stating that the tour actually took place. — Ian Manka Talk to me! 03:30, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

• Comment a chorale club founded in 1885 that has toured Europe and Asia doesn't seem non-notable to me, but on the other hand the article appears to be a copyvio from [1]. Ziggurat 01:13, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
  • I saw that after I nominated for deletion. But does any site besides the "official" site mention their "national tour," per WP:MUSIC? I don't find any notable and verifiable sources that the tour was noted in. As far as I see, that is the only criterion that this article seems to fufill. Am I missing something? — Ian Manka Talk to me! 01:57, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
    • I couldn't find any either, which is why I was commenting not voting delete :) I think it's a moot point, as the current incarnation appears to be a copyvio, so it may be best to remove it entirely, and if anyone wishes to write a sourced article on it at a future date encourage it.

• Keep, it doesn't seem to me that they are non-notable, however the article could definately use a lot of work.Warhorus 01:45, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Agreed. Maybe I mistook "needs a lot of work" for "deletion" :/ — Ian Manka Talk to me! 01:57, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Does that mean you're withdrawing the nom? -EdGl 02:10, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
      • No. It may still be a copyvio, so it could just be better off being deleted. Or being merged. Or reducing the size of the article. It is up for the community to decide ;) — Ian Manka Talk to me! 03:24, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep but drastically cut down Make it more of an encyclopedia article, less of a society advert. Could be cut down by 60% and would be an improvement Bwithh 02:48, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup, or merge to University of California, Berkeley--☆TBC☆ (aka Tree Biting Conspiracy) 02:51, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and clean up. --JChap 03:01, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
• Merge with University of California, Berkeley. On its own, it's not that notable. Stormscape 03:15, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup. --Terence Ong 08:57, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep – just about to be notable, but needs cleanup – Gurch 11:02, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
• Merge with UCB. It's a college club. -- GWO
• Merge with UCB, maybe under Extracurricular Activities. --Osbus 15:21, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
• Merge same as above Rex the first ^{talk | contribs} 18:00, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

• 1st choice Delete or 2nd choice Merge, 3rd choice Cut down. If someone wants to recreate a decent article about this society they can, but as it stands it is all an advert.Captainj 12:41, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
