it does not conform to Wikipedia's guidelines for naming articles, and its content may already be stated in the school band article. Burningview (talk) 20:08, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: This was reformatted to conform to AfD step 2. Tim Song (talk) 22:39, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to school band. Little more than dicdef, but fairly well-written and I think it deserves a mention.  --Merovingian (T, C) 22:01, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect into School_band. This is not notable enough for its own article.  A new name 2008 (talk) 01:24, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * keep yeah, it's short and maybe a definition, but it's got enough cultural impact to warrant a mention.--Paul McDonald (talk) 04:12, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge - this is not a standalone article. 81.110.104.91 (talk) 13:39, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to School_band. -- Whpq (talk) 16:15, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep A search in the Academic Search Premiere database brings up 38 articles with the term. Many are passing mentions, e.g. "'I was kind of a band geek in high school,'says Johnny Rockstar," but included among them are articles like "Adolescents' Expressed Meanings of Music in and out of School" in Journal of Research in Music Education Fall2007, and "Parents' Messages about the Role of Extracurricular and Unstructured Leisure Activities: Adolescents' Perceptions" in Journal of Leisure Research 3rd Qtr 2006 that I think demonstrate that there is potential for the article to grow into something substantial.  That said, in its current form it's isn't much more than a dictionary definition with a lot of references (but no citations) Some jerk on the Internet (talk) 18:02, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
