 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   delete. While systematic bias is always a concern, as was pointed out this is not the primary orchestra in Hong Kong. While that is not a reason for deletion, it does provide a point of comparison in assessing how reasonable it is to expect proper sourcing. The consensus here is that this organization did not meet that standard, no prejudice to undeletion/recreation if proper sourcing appears.

 * Comment Orchestras in cities of this size are sometimes notable, as demonstrated by newspaper and magazine articles, tours, and recordings, especially if they are the number one orchestra of the city. Was this the most prominent orchestra, or an also-ran? Has anyone checked the newspaper archives of the host city, the region, and the country in the native language? Notability is not limited to coverage in English. Edison (talk) 19:52, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - As noted, cities of this size tend to have notable orchestras, and a search for Chinese-language sources should be done before deletion is considered, as it is a near cinch to turn up reliable sources. - The Bushranger One ping only 00:08, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment. I don't believe this is the leading orchestra of Hong Kong. See Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra for comparison. If the HKNPO is notable, more evidence of that will have to be provided. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 13:16, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
 * delete this has been listed for a while and no one has come up with Chinese sources. I'm not thinking that WP:MUSTBESOURCES is a reason to keep. Nothing in gnews and you would expect some coverage in English given English is an official language of Hong Kong. LibStar (talk) 13:37, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. No independent sources have been provided. Of course, this deletion should be without prejudice to re-creation if sources are found later. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:39, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
