Golden Empire Drum and Bugle Corps

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article on a drum corps is sourced entirely to its own website and a couple fan blogs. A WP:BEFORE on Google News, JSTOR, newspapers.com, and Google Books finds a single, incidental reference in the Bakersfield Californian. As this article fails WP:GNG, deletion is appropriate with no prejudice on recreation at some point in the future when it can pass the GNG. Chetsford (talk) 06:54, 17 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Note In some previous AfD discussions (e.g. here, etc.) on different drum corps, editors have volunteered to merge the content of dozens of non-GNG drum corps into the single list List of Drum Corps International member corps to support their  "Merge" !votes. To date, no work has actually occurred in fulfillment of any of these offers. Chetsford (talk) 07:01, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Redirect to List of Drum Corps International member corps. Not enough independent coverage to satisfy GNG. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 12:50, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Redirect per Qwaiiplayer. Listed at that article, and there is no need to merge anything (there was a concern re merging). Fails GNG but could conceivably be a search term. ‡ El cid, el campeador  talk  17:02, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect it would take an intern at least a month to do all the cleanup of DCI articles that is needed. User:力 (power~enwiki, π,  ν ) 20:53, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
