Preston Symphony Orchestra

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is a community (non-professional) orchestra based in a northern suburb of Melbourne. While it's been around for nearly 70 years, it does not seem to have any notability beyond the local community. There are a bunch of other community orchestras in Melbourne (e.g. South Melbourne, Essendon, Maroondah, Stonnington) that are similarly not notable for WP purposes and do not have WP articles. For context, Melbourne has two professional symphony orchestras (Melbourne Symphony and Orchestra Victoria) and various other professional classical music ensembles.

 * Keep 70 year history -> there will be offline sources.-- do ncr  am  02:35, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * WP:MUSTBESOURCES. please show these offline sources. LibStar (talk) 02:55, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * even a search of trove.nla.gov.au which is one of Australia's most indepth search engines for old sources found nothing indepth. there was one 1956 newspaper article with a passing mention. therefore doncram's claim for offline sources is highly questionable.
