Comment – there are further hits for the spelling with "Center" to independent reliable sources, including one from The New York Times. I've not evaluated any to see if they provide non-trivial coverage. --Lambiam 09:51, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
 * this new spelling gives only 1 gnews hit and small mentions in 5 gscholar hits. Not significant coverage. LibStar (talk) 13:52, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Comment - Plenty of new information was added on June 25th about the scholarly activity of the Centre, with the mention of several noted scholars that are linked to the centre activity. I agree that there is a difference between the British and USA spellings of the "centre" / "center" and this difference can be seen in this article. I suggest to make spelling everywhere same, standard, following the general Wikipedia guideline. Generally speaking, I believe this article is useful for ethnomusicologists (and general educated readers), those, who are interested in the research of traditional choral singing. This is a very active research centre with ongoing symposia and publications. As the interest towards the choral singing is gradually growing, I guess would be better to have more special articles about other research bodies dedicated to the research of traditional polyphony (like the organization "Polifinia vivante", that existed in Paris in the 1990s, and the Vienna University centre for the research of European traditional polyphony). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Josephjordania (talk • contribs) 13:46, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. This institution apparently concerns itself with the study of traditional polyphonic folk music, such as is found in the traditional music of Georgia.  I don't know a great deal about the music of Georgia, but a cursory review suggests that there are enough sources to pass. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:04, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
