Hayling Musical Society

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Lacks the depth of independent coverage required to meet WP:ORG. What does exist is very local coverage. Nuttah (talk) 06:50, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

I am not entirely sure I know what else to do. I have been comparing our article to other Hayling Island community subjects and think ours is more detailed and supplied with references. For example the Hayling Light Railway as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayling_Seaside_Railway. I don't see any independent coverage for them.

In addition, there are other societies like ours that are present on Wikipedia without the same history that HMS is currently providing such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belfast_Operatic_Company. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gbzrce (talk • contribs) 09:45, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep. I kind of struggle with WP:ORG too, although I have a bit of a soft spot for cultural organisations which had demonstrable (ie. 50 year plus) pedigree. Call me sentimental. --Legis (talk - contribs) 05:05, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

I am continuing to gather information from the members of the society. Please bear with me. Rob — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gbzrce (talk • contribs) 10:10, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. With local clubs and societies such as this we need some evidence that the subject is of encyclopedic interest, and I don't see that here.--Michig (talk) 13:05, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete: Despite it being around for a long time, it fails WP:ORG. SL93 (talk) 17:05, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
