The result was delete - Brad and JROBBO point to Music band criteria 7 - but this states the leading band/orchestra in a city - this is a university club, and no claim to being the leading group in the city is stated.Blnguyen (bananabucket) 01:09, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Oxford University Jazz Club


Tagges as WP:CSD A7 (non-notable club), but notability is asserted. Probably just another student club, but claims a couple of famous former members. Definitely not the Footlights but will do no harm to think about it for a while. Procedural nomination. Guy (Help!) 12:30, 16 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment I would like to see this expand as I suspect it may be able to assert notability but it certainly doesn't at the moment. Have you contacted those who created/contributed to the article to notify them of deletion debate? --SandyDancer 12:36, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as per WP:MUSIC (band #7). --Brad Beattie (talk) 13:18, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:MUSIC, fails WP:ORG. The only notable member, Miles Kington, specifically claimed by the article is principally known as a humourist/journalist, not a musician. Even he was primarily a musician, this does not automatically confer encyclopedic notability onto this society. Claims made about Lol Coxhll and the Oxcentrics are that the club presented at least one pub gig where they played. I'm sure these musicians have played in many pubs and nightclubs. This doesn't mean every one of these venues gets an article based on this association. No claim about encyclopedic notability in article, even if all claims were properly verified. No indication that this club is significant as a representative of any "Oxford jazz scene", if such a scene is in fact important.And this reminds me, I've been meaning to clear out some of the Cambridge clubs Bwithh 13:29, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
