Talk:City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra

Inappropriate infobox
The Template:Infobox musical artist isn't quite appropriate for this page:
 * Calling affiliated choirs "Associated acts"
 * The conductors listed under "Members" as if they are a band
 * Listing Neville Chamberlain as a "Former member" (not sure he even founded it as such, although it might have been his idea
 * "Notable instruments" doesn't really make sense. The organ doesn't belong to the orchestra
 * Nowhere to list their home venue, Symphony Hall (yet, as pointed out above, it does list the organ from the hall)

I can't find an infobox for orchestras. Does anyone else agree that there should be one?  J Rawle  (Talk) 10:36, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

I have removed the reference to the Symphony Organ from the infobox - as mentioned above, the instrument does not belong to the CBSO, it's simply part of the equipment of one of the various venues in which the CBSO plays.--MV Overchurch (talk) 13:27, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Possible GA?
any thoughts on taking this to WP:GAN? With a little expansion to the lead it would certainly seem like a solid candidate. Aza24 (talk) 01:29, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
