Alexis i. dupont high school tiger marching band
Non-notable high school band, does not meet music notability guidelines, merge with Alexis I. duPont High School article. Dhartung | Talk 02:39, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: sorry about the multiple syntax errors, I was thinking of another template. --Dhartung | Talk 02:39, 25 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete as nominator. This is on WP:RM already but I believe AFD takes precedence. There's a smidgen of information here that could go in the school article, but nothing else -- two festival awards? -- is really notable. It's a high school marching band. Lots of schools have them. --Dhartung | Talk 02:42, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * DELETE per nom. must agree that lots of school's have musical bands. --Ageo020 02:45, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete College marching bands are borderline, but high school bands? No way. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  02:48, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. This is sort of ridiculous, and obviously fails WP:BAND. It's only inclusion in the HS article should be in "they have a band, it's name is the tigers." Alphachimp  talk  02:50, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Alphachimp. Viridae Talk 03:16, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and Alphachimp. -- Tu s  pm (C 03:28, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete "The Tiger Marching Band's cadence was created by the drum section and is recognizable to parade goers throughout northern Delaware". If that doesn't establish notability, nothing will. Daniel Case 03:48, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per all delete votes above. Student organizations that exist at only a single school are generally non-notable. Also, I am unenthusiastic about high school-related articles which don't use proper capitalization. --Metropolitan90 03:57, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, clubs/bands/satire magazines/cliques at schools are still non-notable and unencyclopedic. -- Kinu t /c  04:44, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, school bands aren't notable unless they were noteworthy on a wide scale. --Core des at talk. o.o;; 05:19, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. -- Big  top  ( tk | cb | em | ea ) 16:34, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete Not notable, not encyclopedic, not worth keeping.
 * Keep As the author of the article, a few notes: It meets the criteria for a notable organization: "Organizations are usually notable if the scope of activities are national or international in scale and information can be verified by a third party source." The organization hat made multiple appearances on the national and international stage, including multiple appearances at the Tournament of Roses Parade, the Lord Mayor's New Year's Day Parade (London, UK) and the Saint Patrick's Day Parade (Dublin, Ireland). I believe this establishes the notability on a wide scale of which Coredesat speaks. I should also note that there are far less notable high school bands present on Wikipedia. Finally, to address the capitalization issue: Rookie mistake. Upon the article posting, an request for migration was made to correct this.
 * Comment. Yabbut Google dupont.high.school+tiger.marching.band and you get 18 hits, three of them Wikipedia and its mirrors. Ultimately, I'm skeptical that a high-school band can be notable. FYI, the capitalization is not a reason for deletion, as that can be fixed. --Dhartung | Talk 05:38, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to the school article or delete. Just zis Guy you know? 10:12, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * First of all, the article is misnamed (capitalization error). Second of all, I think the fact that the band has been in parades such as the Tournament of Roses and the Saint Patrick's Day parades merits a mention in the school's article. I think that's what the school articles are for. On a serachability note, I think users would look for this information at the school's page and not on a separate page. For all of these reasons, merge.  Jacqui ★ 20:10, 26 July 2006 (UTC) (Edit: I have checked the school's page and the information is there. I don't think a redirect is necessary, so this page can go now.)
 * Merge to Alexis I. duPont High School. -- Wine Guy  Talk  01:17, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
