 * Unfortunately most of the information relating to this organization is not available online. However, back in the 70s/80s it was a lot more high-profile (sold out events at Wembley, sponsorship by Marks&Spencer, Natwest (https://memories.royalalberthall.com/content/natwest-bank-and-british-youth-band-association-festival-youth-bands-0), broadcast on national television) so I would argue that it holds historical significance. The marching band scene in the UK is also very niche - there are thousands and thousands of people involved, but if you aren't involved in the activity then you would not know that it exists. 2A02:C7F:FAF1:300:6897:E46:D463:626F (talk) 21:17, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment Offline sources are valid. The article has stood 14 years on Wikipedia without a single reliable source having been added. If sources exist, I'd love to see them added. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 21:24, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment: I have several old assorted newspaper clippings (and a listing from the BBC) - how is best to include these as sources? Many thanks! 2A02:C7F:FAF1:300:6037:4B57:5073:FB18 (talk) 21:50, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * You can cite the newspapers (see the cite news for examples). WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:51, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
 * The BBC listings should also be available online via Genome - I have found two, from May 1979 and February 1982. RobinCarmody (talk) 19:11, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Weak Delete I agree with the nomination to delete, but if more current reliable sources per WP:RS are identified and added to the article, the organization may warrant further consideration. ABT021 (talk) 15:48, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
