Brown University Orchestra

 * – ( View AfD View log )

No independent coverage except for minor awards. Fails WP:BAND. Josefaught (talk) 01:44, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep Retaliatory behavior from an ostensible sockpuppet account. The notability of the orchestra as it relates to the local classical music scene is evidenced by this article on a personnel change, published, in the area's dominant publication. Filetime (talk) 07:31, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Does every University orchestra get a wiki article? Does every organization at Brown? I love Brown University as much as anyone, but it seems way over-represented on Wikipedia because it's an old white wealthy institution. Not every statue, building, and organization at Brown requires a standalone wiki article. Seems to me that it would be served well enough with a sentence or two in the main Brown University article. - Kzirkel (talk) 15:38, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment I personally have no interest in promoting another old white wealthy institution myself, but that's the reality of Systemic bias and like it or not, this article satisfies WP:GNG, even if I personally agree with your sentiment. ~ Shushugah (he/him • talk) 10:48, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep. In addition to the source Filetime mentioned above, the Wall Street Journal article helps establish notability. In response to the comment above, Wikipedia is WP:NOTPAPER. There is nothing stopping you from improving the coverage of other universities on Wikipedia. Brown University is already lengthy and doesn't need more content added into it.
