Cincinnati Caledonian Pipes and Drums

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

With all due respect, this is not a major or noteworthy band and seems to fail WP:N. Ostrichyearning (talk) 23:17, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

I see you have edited and/or created many pages in the pipe band community. Thanks for your contribution Ostrichyearning. But your opinion on the worth of this band does not warrant deletion. As written in WP:N "For articles of unclear notability, deletion should be a last resort." The band is one of the oldest bands in continuing existence in the U.S. and perhaps North America. While it doesn't compete at the grade one level, it is active in the Midwestern U.S. at competitions, festivals and other events. It is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization. I have edited the article slightly to remove a section on the ceilidh which acts as a fundraiser for the group so the article does not appear to be promoting itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Celticmaps (talk • contribs) 16:32, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

 * I agree that this band may be notable by being one of the oldest bands in the US, so will withdraw the nomination. However, the article could still do with some trimming and references to reliable sources. Best, Ostrichyearning (talk) 13:53, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
