Éire Nua Republican Flute Band[edit]

Non-notable flute band. No references given. Stu ^{’Bout ye!} 10:58, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - No real assertion of notability. --Dweller 11:51, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete They have traveled internationally, but jeez, they're just a flute band. YechielMan 14:51, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, to be fair they are a little bit more than "just a flute band" - but I will wait for someone to add external refs proving notability before I make my !vote.--Vintagekits 15:52, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Not voting yet. Sounds like they might be notable, so get out there and find multiple reliable independent references with nontrivial coverage of the group. Their own website is far from a reliable and independent reference. The special guideline for bands and music is set up for rock and pop commercial bands and not less commercial groups such as concert bands, a capella groups and such bands as this, who might meet WP:N and WP:A. "Just a flute band" is an irrelevant and invalid reason for deletion. Edison 16:44, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, possibly merge to Éire Nua could be considered.--Vintagekits 11:02, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached

Comment. I don't really think merging with Éire Nua would help. That page is about specific Sinn Fein policy proposals. The band may have named themselves after these but there's no evidence for it and it seems more likely to me that they're simply using the phrase for its literal meaning - in English: "New Ireland". As I said elsewhere, what's really needed here is a generic article on such bands in both the republican and loyalist traditions. BTLizard 09:56, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
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.
