• Delete. Without any content, is just a vanity / advertisement site. --Sgkay 16:05, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. The YPMB is a major player in the scramble band subculture. "If Yale is the Mercedes of American universities, the Yale Precision Marching Band is the Edsel of marching bands, a little bizarre and, always, a little out of step," said the New York Times ("At Yale, Wedding Band Takes On a New Meaning", October 10, 1992).

• KEEP. As said by bpen, the yale marching band is a real phenomenon of significance on campus and some significance beyond, as described in the new york times, and there are peole out there who have concerns about bands. In fact I'm glad somebody got around to starting this article, otherwise i would have been forced to. Gzuckier 17:49, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Apologies to sgkay - I created the page before I had figured out how to put information on it. I appreciate Bbpen's and Gzuckier's support for this as a real topic of interest. Also I point out that Stanford Band, Virginia Pep Band, the Marching Owl Band, and Penn Band all have their own entries. Surely the YPMB is of equal caliber with these bands. --Veggiesattva 19:14, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Ah, yes, going through the page's history, I can see why Sgkay plopped a VFD tag on it when he did. Perhaps the content will change his mind.Bbpen 19:44, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. With a history spanning longer than that of many colleges, the YPMB deserves an article listing. Furthermore, as one of only a few bands left of its type, it is unique enough to merit its own recognition. --Talos726 21:20, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
