Brass bands
Hi! I found your proposal for creating a brass band WikiProject (under your previous username), and wondered if you'd had any further thoughts on that? Trying to revive and broaden WikiProject Marching band seems possibly worth a go? (It might also help bring a more international perspective on some of the marching band content too.)

The quality of brass band coverage on Wikipedia is really atrocious - for example, John Iles (founder of the National Brass Band Championships, owner of British Bandsman, and an extremely minor county cricketer) was until a few days ago mentioned on Wikipedia *solely* for his cricketing record; and Draft:James Shepherd (musician) failed to make it to article space for not having demonstrated that he was notable. Even British brass band isn't great. It would be useful to at least have somewhere to highlight articles that would benefit from attention.

(Incidentally, in the absence of anywhere else to highlight this, I've done a fairly big rewrite on that James Shepherd draft and resubmitted it for review, if you had a moment to take a look at it.) TSP (talk) 21:40, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
