Third Carrickfergus Silver Band

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Non-notable amateur/local brass band. I can find nothing to indicate that the subject of this (effectively orphaned) article meets WP:SIGCOV or WP:NBAND. In terms of SIGCOV, and after exhaustive searches (for reliable/independent sources to expand the article beyond the single/primary source we have), the only coverage I can find are passing mentions in regional papers - like these listings entries in the Belfast Telegraph. And "local interest" stories in similar papers - like this in the News Letter). And passing mentions (in articles about people connected to the subject) - like these online pieces in the local news website Northernirelandworld.com. I can find no coverage at all by the BBC or other non-local outlets. Google searches (for various combinations of the subject's name) barely return a few hundred results. Mainly the subject's own website, social channels and this Wikipedia article and its mirrors. That we need to rely entirely on primary sources, to establish even the basic facts, suggests that SIGCOV is not met. The NBAND issues are self evident. This local amateur brass band hasn't charted or released an album on a major label. And coming 2nd in a very specific category in a North of Ireland Bands' Association competition is objectively not success in "a major music award"... I have reviewed possible WP:ATDs. But draftifying this ancient article serves no purpose and I can't recommend redirection anywhere (like to Carrickfergus - as there is no related section and creating one would give UNDUE weight/preference to a single otherwise non-notable local community group). I, frankly, can't fathom why this article was created in the first place. Its original incarnation reads entirely like WP:NOTWEBHOST content....
