Organ Club

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:CLUB -- no verifiable coverage. Also, notability isn't derived from notable members per WP:NOTINHERITED. —Waldhorn (talk) 21:23, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Note: In an effort to generate interest in this discussion, I have lightly canvassed recent contributors to Organ Club and Pipe Organ who are both active editors and appear to have an interest in the topic. —Waldhorn (talk) 06:50, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment -- A society claiming to be worldwide and having operated for over 85 years may well be notable, but I would want to see some content in the article indicating its significance, in the field of organ music before deciding. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:41, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment - I'm unsure; I need to do more research before deciding. Bearian (talk) 00:18, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment - agree per User:Peterkingiron --Chrysalifourfour (talk) 11:58, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - a brief look at sources online finds lots of information at Google Books and Google Scholar. Il also found a good source on The Organ Club Jubilee Fund.  They are also listed on the definitive list of such groups.  So I think it's at least marginally notable, but may need more editing. FWIW, a former boyfriend of mine was a member of the American Guild of Organists. Bearian (talk) 18:30, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. Almost certain to meet WP:GNG; just needs more work finding references. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:37, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete - the article is basically a single line about the club (sourced from their material), a long list of non-notable members and a large section advertising for membership. So it fails on several counts. I can't see any evidence of significant indpendent sources about the Club. If any come to light the article can easily be recreated with content appropriate for Wikipedia. Sionk (talk) 23:50, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

 * delete The various listings mention above do no more than prove that the group exists, which we can tell from its website anyway. Secondary references beyond directories are conspicuously lacking and are heavily masked, if they exist, by all the other Organ Clubs out there. Mangoe (talk) 15:07, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
