Newark Boys Chorus

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Primary school lacking in notability sufficient for an article. See WP:OUTCOMES. Suggest redirecting to the primary school section of Newark, New Jersey, which is what I tried to do. tedder (talk) 01:16, 28 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep - Despite the admin/nominator's misrepresentation, the the article about the Newark Boys Chorus is about the renowned boy's choir, a grouip that meets criteria for notability.Djflem (talk) 09:51, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Of course, when it was nominated, the article was about the school. It was your changes that "recast" it as the choir. tedder (talk) 15:49, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Please do not continue to make misrepresentations. The article at the time of your nomination was about its title, the chorus, as seen in link you have provided above. In the future please include a rationale in your edit summaries. And please also open a subject or respond on a article's talk page as opposed to wagging as a first option to bring it here. If you were unsatisfied with referencing there are tags for that, too Djflem (talk) 16:20, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment Undecided. The chorus has toured internationally, and performed at well known venues, but so have many high school choruses, bands and orchestras, and many college a capella groups, whose articles have been deleted. The article's subject seems "on the bubble" as to whether it satisfies notability, either through coverage as a school via WP:ORG or as a musical group via Notability (music) . It has a stronger case than the average small private elementary school. Edison (talk) 00:21, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment The group has toured internationally, and they have a bit more of a case than others to exist. They even have a famous alumni, although my high school chorus probably has more people who are famous than this one. Still, the page would be better off about the school itself with a mention of the choir, but that is just my opinion. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 01:48, 29 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep Famous chorus, as shown by references. The chorus is more notable than the school, so this is the proper title.  DGG ( talk ) 06:10, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
