Highlanders of Tomorrow Band

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable band ensemble from two elementary schools, only coverage seems to be from an article located here : http://wvmetronews.com/2018/04/11/webster-county-to-be-states-first-competing-elementary-school-band/ Jon Kolbert (talk) 03:15, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete The article contains no references and there are no links from other articles to it. The band was founded by Josh Tharp, and the article was created by WP:SPA User:Jtharp84, which raises suspicions at least. Even if we forget all this, WP:TOOSOON also applies to a band that was founded in August 2017. It can go.Jeff5102 (talk) 12:15, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete. It is interesting that an elementary-school band competed against high school bands in an event, but that doesn't make the band notable. The lack of coverage in reliable sources outside the local area is further evidence of that. On the merits of the article alone, we should delete. (When we compound the fact that the original editor appears to be creating a promotional piece for the band rather than a neutral encyclopedia article that complies with Wikipedia policies and the Manual of Style, that's all the more reason to delete it.) —C.Fred (talk) 19:09, 19 April 2018 (UTC)`

 * Delete, does not meet WP:GNG, may also be a case of WP:TOOSOON, did find this with a gsearch: West Virginia MetroNews - "Webster County to be state’s first competing elementary school band" but more is needed (issue of article creation by a spa with coi highlights "Wikipedia, the encylopedia that anyone can contribute to ... but watch out for all the rules") Coolabahapple (talk) 23:27, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
