 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Keep. makes adequate claims to notability and is not  an easily  sourced topic. Lack  of sources is not  necessarily  alone a reason  for deletion. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 06:48, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete: What the hell ... lack of sources is ABSOLUTELY a sound reason for deletion. WP:V holds that if sources can't be found for an article, the article doesn't belong on Wikipedia, period.  It's a weird minority view on Wikipedia that if there are excuses why sources don't exist on a subject, WP:V and WP:GNG should be suspended in the subject's favor.  Nope: it means that an article can't be sustained.  I didn't find anything myself except casual mentions explicitly debarred by WP:ROUTINE -- "The Midlothian Pipe Band is also scheduled to play at the county fair on Friday" sort of thing.
