And the band played on (Titanic)

While I agree that the Titanic's orchestra is significant, in my opinion, verifiable information about it should be included in the existing article on the Titanic rather than in a separate article. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 23:19, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete PRODded; contested without comment. This is original research and references, such as they were, were removed by author. HeureusementIci (talk) 23:21, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Topic is already adequately covered here. Edward321 (talk) 03:50, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Contributions from new editors are always appreciated, and it takes awhile to learn many of the rules of Wikipedia. The author shows a talent for writing, so much so that I did a google search to see whether this had been copied from elsewhere-- so far as I can tell, it hadn't (the phrase "Romantic as it seems, it seems" sounds homemade).  The main problem here, greater than the essay-like tone, is that there is no sourcing at all, no citation to where a fact has been drawn; needless to say, there are probably more online sources about Titanic than most subjects covered here.  As Edward notes, the topic is covered-- and covered better-- by an existing article.   Keep contributing, but always make sure to tell us where you got your information.  Granted, nearly every Titanic afficionado already knows the "Nearer My God to Thee" story, but it still has to be cited. Mandsford (talk) 12:42, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge into Titanic or delete as per Edward321. Too much of an essay, nothing new to add. Bearian (talk) 21:26, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * If there's nothing new to add, then what do you suggest we merge? - Mgm|(talk) 09:10, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak Delete. That is an awesome essay. It's beautifully written and pushes all the right buttons. Sadly, it's just not a wikipedia article- I doesn't seem to tell us anything we don't know already, it doesn't link anywhere and it cites not a single source. If WP were an essay writing contest, we'd have an FA on our hands. Sadly, it's not, and so it just can't stay here. HJMitchell    You rang?  12:00, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
