Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra[edit]

Multiple editors have tagged this for A7. Article was cleaned, then spamified. Probably time for an official discussion. Oliver Twisted (Talk) 10:41, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, passes WP:MUSIC#C4 for shows in Nelson [1], the Hawkes Bay, Gisborne, Auckland, and for their WOMAD appearance, [2].

Keep per Esradekan. I wonder how this ever got tagged. - Mgm|^(talk) 19:34, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep with proviso of Cleanup - I looked at this yesterday in its earlier stages and considered tagging for CSD. I decided not to do so as I could see the notability. However, in its current state the article has only minor value and it desperately needs cleaning up. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 21:06, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, and had the same thoughts. It was only the fact I was road crew for one of their Auckland gigs that I thought they may pass the touring criteria of wikimusic. Adding in those ref's will give me something to do over the holidays. Esradekan Gibb ^"Talk" 22:31, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This article was listed due to the history of CSD tagging. I agree with Esradekan Gibb on the notability of the sources. Please view article page history for a synopsis of the process leading up to nomination. --OliverTwisted ^(Talk)(Stuff) 23:32, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Close and Keep I believe consensus was achieved after sources were added. --OliverTwisted ^(Talk)(Stuff) 04:53, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and restart or Keep and purge history. Some content in history looks suspiciously like copyvio. Better if neutral editors recreate from scratch. (I agree that the group is notable, my CSD nom was as blatant advertising). dramatic (talk) 05:15, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Purging the history would violate the GFDL as it would no longer be obvious who added what. I also haven't seen any guidelines or policies that state suspected copyright violations should be removed. They should only be removed if the violation is proven. What looks like a suspected violation to you might just look like it's copied (or may be copied from a free source) - Mgm|^(talk) 09:40, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
