Minnesota Boychoir 2
A tag has been placed on Minnesota Boychoir, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.  Whispe ring  13:32, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Explanation
We are in the process of editing the information to make it more neutral. We have added citations from reputable newspapers, the director of the choir, and a former member.

Hello there. I was a member of the Minnesota Boychoir from 1976 to 1982. The choir actually did quite a bit when I was singing under Paul Pfeiffer's direction. Certainly more than just sing in Lutheran Churches. We recorded 5 albums during my years which was something back then. We sang mostly secular music, actually. One year, I was a soloist when we sang "Blue Danube" by Johann Strauss. We traveled around the tri state area and also to Chicago, Baltimore, Richmond, and Vienna, Austria. We did collaborative efforts with the Minnesota Orchestra. Philp Brunelle (conductor of the Minnesota Orchestra) had a working relationship with our director, Paul Pfeiffer. We gave annual concerts in the Landmark Center in downtown St. Paul. The concerts included skits and were always something we looked forward to. Anyway, I am happy to answer any questions you might have on the choir during the late 70's and early 80's. I know they went to Japan and Czechslovakia in the late 80's. The information you have is incomplete. I respectfully submit that it is certainly not accuarate to say that we strictly sang in Lutheran Churches and didn't delve into secular music. It simply isn't true and sells short the accomplishments of the choir during the time I was a member. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mktkmp (talk • contribs) 17:49, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

In order to maintain a neutral point of view, we strongly encourage people who are personally involved with a subject to avoid writing articles about it. If you or your subject is notable, then you can request an article be created by another, unaffiliated user here.
