Como String Quartet[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

While this quartet existed, I cannot find sufficient substantial, non-passing-mention RS coverage to suggest it was notable per wp standards. Created by an SPA. Tagged for notability over 3 years ago. Zero refs, and tagged for that over 3 years ago. Epeefleche (talk) 10:06, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

delete no evidence of significant coverage to establish notability. LibStar (talk) 12:38, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

changing to strong delete on the back of northamerica's evidence of a complete lack of in-depth coverage. LibStar (talk) 10:43, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~ Delete - ~~Per initial evidence of coverage in reliable sources:~~ [1], [2]. ~~Perhaps other sources can be found besides search results on Google.~~ Northamerica1000^(talk) 14:23, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Changed !vote to delete above. Not enough to qualify for WP:GNG. Northamerica1000^(talk) 06:35, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Here's a book mention of the topic: [3]. Northamerica1000^(talk) 14:28, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

none of the sources you provide deal with the quartet in any depth more than a line. the first source is not in-depth and makes a one line mention of the String quartet. Not to mention the newspaper serves a mere 2000 residents of Magnetic Island. The 2nd source is not in-depth and merely an event listing. The third source is again a mete 1 line mention. Your search confirms there is no in-depth coverage of this quartet. My !vote stands LibStar (talk) 14:44, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - More book mentions: [4], [5] (Spanish). A Google Scholar mention: The Comic Personae of Hung Le (from Google Scholar summary: "...comedy clubs in both New York and Los Angeles. His early work in comedy began with a successful period as a joke- cracking violin player with the Como String Quartet in the late 1980s..." This source may contain more information; unfortunately, I do not have access to the entire source. Northamerica1000^(talk) 05:28, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

again the first one is yet another line mention. the second one is not about this como string quartet. it uses the Spanish word como which means like. so the sentence translates to "like the String Quartet". Hung Le is a low level Australian comedian i doubt he has toured in a Spanish speaking country nor speaks Spanish. you are really clutching at straws for notability. coverage merely confirms Hung Le's participation in this quartet, nothing indepth about the quartet's history, detailed reviews, critical acclaim etc. LibStar (talk) 06:14, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the clarification. My !vote has changed to delete. Northamerica1000^(talk) 06:37, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Northamerica, although you are a known keep !voter, i admire you for changing in this circumstance. LibStar (talk) 06:40, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Kudos to NA -- too many editors seem to dig their heels in, once they take a position. It takes an intellectually honest editor to keep on reviewing his position, and change it if circumstances suggest that would be the right thing to do. Also -- I admire NA for always doing such thorough research.--Epeefleche (talk) 06:56, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Lack of significant coverage in multiple reliable and independent sources. Trivial coverage cannot count as significant coverage.--Yaksar (let's chat) 10:37, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Seriously Funny, Brisbane News (Australia) - August 24, 2005, Length: 923 words (Estimated printed pages: 3) and Taking refuge in comedy, Advertiser, The (Adelaide, Australia) - February 19, 1998, Length: 501 words (Estimated printed pages: 2) both mention the band, but only in the context of a former member of the band. These sources help for notability of "Hung Le" more than the band though. --LauraHale (talk) 09:23, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
