Vol. Sean Mcilvenná Republican Flute Band

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable flute band. No references given. Can be adequately covered by a sentence in the Sean McIlvenna article. Stu  ’Bout ye!  14:50, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Merge, No significant evidence of notability in itself shown - should be merged to Sean McIlvenna.--Vintagekits 14:57, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment, Bands like this are long-standing parts of both the republican and loyalist traditions - see Éire Nua Republican Flute Band and Portadown defenders - so I think merging to Sean McIlvenna would be to miss the point somewhat. What would best would be to merge into a generic article on the bands as a phenomenon, but I haven't been able to find one so for now I'm saying keep. BTLizard 15:07, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment, maybe needs new articles such as Republican or Loyalist FB's.--Vintagekits 15:13, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. I hadn't seen those articles before or I would have included them in this AFD. Merging them all to one article is a good suggestion. But, as with the existing individual articles, referencing a merged article from reliable source will prove very hard. Stu   ’Bout ye!  15:34, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment. I have added a speedy tag to the Portadown one, and AfD'd the Éire Nua one. See Articles for deletion/Éire Nua Republican Flute Band. Stu  ’Bout ye!  11:01, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. Maybe contact the creators of the articles to let them know about the AfD, I dont think they are active but is what I would do it I AfDed an article.--Vintagekits 11:07, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Will do, cheers. Stu   ’Bout ye!  11:19, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete. The tradition may be longstanding, and may require an article, but this band has existed no more than 10 years and the article offers no indication of notability. There is no merge needed as there is nothing of note here, that would be like deciding every jazz band should at least be in the jazz article. Nuttah68 10:07, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Still saying delete. I'll maybe start an article at Flute Band. I would intend this to be about the subject in general, not about individual bands unless they can be verified from reliable sources, which the Éire Nua Republican Flute Band and Vol. Sean Mcilvenná Republican Flute Band articles can't be.

 * Delete per above -Docg 09:26, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unless some sources are added to indicate how often to they perform publicly, and in what locations/venues have they performed. John Vandenberg 10:14, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
