Keep. I found a few sources: see [1], [2], and various others in Newspapers.com and Proquest. Given the likelihood that additional offline sources exist for this century-old symphony, I have little trouble concluding that it's notable. The article needs a great deal of work (and I wouldn't object to stubifying it), but deletion of course is not cleanup. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 00:36, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Walla Walla, Washington - some work would need to be done to fit it into the "Fine and performing arts" section. A lot of the information in the article is trivia and the sources don't look independent, but there is at least enough notability for a redirect and a paragraph on the town's article.

Keep I found the same two substantial references as Extraordinary Writ and many others that tend to be about specific concerts or in local papers. There are two books I found specifically about the orchestra that do not look to be self published but without reading them I can't make my own assessment of editorial independence to see if they contribute to notability.[3][4] As it stands the article is substantial but needs referencing and it looks as if with references to reliable sources (and the books may well contribute here, if not for notability) a worthwhile revamped version could be produced.
