Meiningen Court Orchestra

 * – ( View AfD View log )

No references, article suspect. Online bios I found for Strauss don't say he was a conductor (just that he was an assistant under Bulow). Gerardw (talk) 22:53, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep per the obvious notability demonstrated by the results of the Google Books search linked above, and the equivalent in German. The nominator seems to have a quibble with one fact presented in the article: that is a reason for editing and talk page discussion, not for deletion nomination, but, anyway, this book verifies that Strauss did succeed Bülow.

 * So why not add the reference(s) to the article? Gerardw (talk) 12:37, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Feel free to boldly do it yourself. -- Whpq (talk) 13:17, 23 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep - Lack of references are not a reason for deletion. A cursory search shows many sources available to establish notability, and provide sourcing for article development. -- Whpq (talk) 13:17, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep. de:Meininger Hofkapelle cites the literature establishing notability; no valid reason for deletion advanced.  Sandstein   07:43, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep: Even a quick Google search brings up enough results that could be used as sources to establish the history and notability of the orchestra. X X X antiuser eh? 07:45, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Clear evidence of notability. The German article demonstrates the potential, and adding a few sources at random isn't going to help much (any Wiki user can use Google) - either somebody just translates the de:Meininger Hofkapelle article in its entirety, not a good practice, or it will have to wait for an editor with the time and knowledge to expand it. No valid grounds for deletion. --AJHingston (talk) 08:17, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
