The University of Louisville Marching Band

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Rejected speedy deletion following the talkpage hangon: "the band has the honor of playing "My Old Kentucky Home" on national television every year just minutes before the big race." which may satisfy WP:BAND. Listing for broader evaluation. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 15:56, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

 Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:26, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - I would say they meet item 7 of WP:BAND having been highly idnetified with the Kentucky Derby as noted by this book on the University. This ESPN story is probably typical of most coverage which notes that the band plays "My Old Kentucky Home" for the Derby.  This sort of news coverage spans different news organisations over multiple years.  And the most substantial item would be a full profile devoted to the band in USA Today. -- Whpq (talk) 15:08, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Keep - Since the notice of deletion was first tagged to this page, information on this page has increased greatly, and more is steadily added daily. It now cites many publications that have at least mentioned it if not been the focus of. The article appears to be about up to par with other college marching band articles found on Wikipedia. Its contributions to the Commonwealth of Kentucky are great, and, as mentioned by others on this deletion article, its annual participation and coverage during the Kentucky Derby are of importance as they may meet WP:BAND item 7.
