non-notable forum/facebook group, no evidence this meets any notability criteria. Having notable people who have been members does not equate to notability for the org/group. Praxidicae (talk) 21:28, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Notability is not inherited; unless it can be shown that the forum itself is independently notable, this page should be deleted or merged into the pages about its notable members. Nathan2055^{talk - contribs} 22:05, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete — forum/org lacks in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. Celestina007 09:07, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The Violin Guild (TVG) has nearly 40,000 members, spread throughout every state and every country. It is independently notable. Hundreds of Wikipedia's documented artists are members of The Violin Guild. It has been reviewed extensively by the string instrument industry's most notable magazines and figures. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nicolepag (talk • contribs)

The page cites very, very well-known (to the field) articles magazines. The Violin Guild (TVG) has nearly 40,000 members, spread throughout pretty much every state and every country from what I can tell. It is independently notable, and notable elsewhere. Hundreds of Wikipedia's documented artists are members of The Violin Guild. It has been reviewed extensively by the string instrument industry's most notable magazines and figures.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Nicolepag (talk • contribs)
