Martha Wright: Uncommon Educator

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

A gushing bio but only one of the external links mentions the woman. One solution might be to move the article to West Tennessee Youth Chorus and change it appropriately. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 04:50, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, if this were already a WTYC article it would be a weak keep at best. I dunno if a White House performance, even two, really rates notability (there are scads of events throughout the year, and how high a profile does the Pageant of Peace have?). --Dhartung | Talk 05:03, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Christopher Guest should make a mockumentary about her. Otherwise Strong Delete. Qworty (talk) 08:27, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete For starters, the title is completely inappropriate for an encyclopedia article. Second, this looks like someone's personal essay about the subject or a direct cut-and-paste copyvio. Some digging will be needed to prove or disprove the latter. Either case is grounds for deletion. DarkAudit (talk) 14:30, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Agree with the nominator. If someone were to create a WP article about WTYC, it might survive (although even there establishing notability would be a tough task). However, I could not find any newsmedia coverage mentioning Martha Wright specifically, except this one: (The name "Martha Wright" is fairly common and GoogleNews search produces lots of hits, but, after additional filtering, all but one appear to be false positives).

 * Rename to West Tennessee Youth Chorus and refactor appropriately. Assuming article is not overstating the choir's achievements, they stand a reasonable chance of meeting WP:MUSIC, eg appearance on The Today Show might meet point 10, and there is likely to be independent press coverage of the various concert appearances mentioned in the article. The Martha Wright: Uncommon Educator page itself should probably be deleted as a non-useful search term which encourages the generation of pages named in the incorrect style; however, a redirect from a title meeting our guidelines (and that doesn't interfere with the existing redirect from Martha Wright to Martha Coffin Wright) would seem acceptable.

 * Delete, If the Chorus is notable someone can write the article. This one is not suitable even for adaptation--the odds of it not being copyvio are infinitesimal  ("The final concert of the festival will be held on the Grand Ole Opry House, with celebrities such as .. This facility is recognized as one of the acoustics-friendly venues in the world today, let alone its fame and historicity."). DGG (talk) 02:49, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree it reads like a copyvio in parts, but I've tried and failed to find an online source. Espresso Addict (talk) 03:20, 11 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Definite delete this garrulous press release. Xxanthippe (talk) 12:03, 11 April 2008 (UTC).
