Ringgold high school marching band
NN marching band. Delete --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 03:04, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Could we merge this level of info into the related school article (which doesn't seem to exist)? Would we want to? Delete as a bunch of kids who play instruments, with no claim to fame. Saberwyn - 09:54, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Question... Would WP:MUSIC apply here? Saberwyn - 09:54, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * First choice, Delete. Second choice, move to Ringgold High School to jumpstart that article. 14 displayed hits--clearly doesn't meet WP:MUSIC, altho' I'm not sure that should be applied to HS bands. Garfield and Roosevelt HS Jazz bands are probably notable (at least if any HS bands are), but not per WP:MUSIC. 24.17.48.241 10:13, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm working on the article. There's a lot more to come... with over 50 years of history. I can understand the fact that it needs improvement. But, please don't say that's it's a bunch of kids who play instruments with no claim to fame. That's just a little rude, don't you think?
 * Comment - I see from your user page that you were a part of this group in high school. Although there is no official policy about such things, a good rule of thumb is that you probably shouldn't create articles that you are personally involved in - whether it's an article about yourself or a group/club you were in.

 * Delete. Even if WP:MUSIC doesn't apply, I can only imagine about 10-20 high school bands nationwide could justify stand-alone articles. Should be - at most - a one-paragraph mention in the high school article. But I'm not even really a fan of that. (ESkog)(Talk) 17:26, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment Article has been blanked by Jsu5198m, who created it and did virtually all the editing on it. Would I be correct in interpreting this as an indication that the user would prefer to have the article deleted without further unpleasant discussion? All of the material in the article would be perfectly appropriate for Jsu5198m's home page. It is also possible for a user to create "subpages" simply by typing "User:Jsu5198m/band" into the "Go" box. Dpbsmith (talk) 19:27, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, doesn't meet WP:MUSIC or the WP:SCH proposal.Gateman1997 19:44, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
