List of university and college band directors and conductors in the United States

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Unwieldy list that is mostly unsourced and almost unavoidably prone to out-of-date and inaccurate information. Very few of the conductors listed are notable enough for a Wikipedia article; so combined with the unsourced and unreliable information this article serves neither as an informative list nor as a navigation aid. ~ mazca  t 22:17, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. In addition to the valid reasons for deletion given by the nominator, I note that the list is very incomplete in that many universities and colleges are omitted. --Orlady (talk) 17:06, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. There's an excellent way to deal with Orkady's objection.... I think the band and orchestra directors at major universities would in fact be notable, and the articles should be written. They change, but so do coaches. I'd remove the associate and assistant directors, as  for coaches.  DGG (talk) 01:25, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete pretty much per nom. As is, its an unsourced laundry-list of figures that aren't properly verified.  In its ideal state, it would be overly long and clumsy and would violate WP:SALAT. Neither of these is a good article.  Them  From  Space  01:47, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Some of them are verified, perhaps we can consider merging the verified content into a List of university and college bands if someone makes the effort to create that. It would lead to 3 pieces of info in a single list. - Mgm|(talk) 10:56, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Very incomplete list, most of these people wouldn't be notable anyway. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 15:27, 5 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete Ignoring the fact that maintaining this list would involve a massive undertaking, as the nominator said, I'm not sure how many of these people are notable enough for their own article, which starts to reek of WP:IINFO. fuzzy510 (talk) 16:14, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
