Sekaa gong tirta sinar[edit]

This is an article about a gamelan musical group in Sydney, Australia. Unfortunately it doesn't assert notability as per the required criteria at Wikipedia:Notability (music). There are no reliable sources provided in the article, just a bunch of personal web sites. A search of Google reveals only 36 hits for "Sekaa gong tirta sinar". Being a gamelan group outside of Indonesia does not satisfy the Wikipedia notably criteria. Caniago 06:00, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - gamelan is an interesting subject but an article on this or any other gamelan group would require some verifiable sources to illustrate notability. I cannot find any such sources and the article doesn't provide any. There may also be a copyright issue as most of the article is a direct cut and paste from here. A more minor point is an apparent conflict of interest with the article creator User:ColinMacg probably being the Colin Macgregor named as the fifth member of the gamelan group itself.

Move - the WP Indonesian Project - has indeed a problem with specifically categorising gamelan groups that are formed overseas - and which are in their own context- I would suggest that this article potentially be transferred to the Indonesian project as an orphan - and we at the Indonesian project could potentially create a 'gamelan' outside of Indonesia category and or article - so despite the fact that the nominator considers it deletable - it would be better dealt with there than here Satu Suro 07:47, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I am not sure that the standards raised here are being applied consistently. There are a host of entries for American university marching bands in Wikipedia. They may well be known by more people than SGTS because the USA is more populous than Australia, but the relative significance of a number of them is probably no greater than that of SGTS. Also, this is a unique band in Sydney that, by its existence, I expect would be doing its small part to help build bridges between two countries that have experienced some friction in the past. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Greta007 (talk • contribs) 08:03, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment in view of the above comments so far - a strategy should be thought about where to move the information to - as the trend suggests that an addition into the Gamelan outside of Indonesia area rather than have to deal with or cope with the views of the delete nominators - there is the capacity in that context to accomodate such information Satu Suro 08:38, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
