Completely unsourced article about a student choir. There are things here (mainly touring) that would be valid notability claims if the article were properly sourced, but there's nothing that would confer an automatic free inclusion pass without any sourcing to support it.
As all the information here is a decade old, I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody with better access to archived British media coverage than I've got can find enough proper sourcing to salvage this, but none of it is "inherently" notable enough to exempt them from having to pass WP:GNG on their sourceability.

On balance Delete. I have searched south-west England newspapers on Infotrac Newsbank specifically to find this, because the phrase is commonly used in other contexts. There is a passing one-line reference in the Bristol Evening Post (14 November 2003), and again in the same newspaper on 23 November 2006. The Central Somerset Gazette and Weston and Worle News also give passing reference in 2008 articles, as do the Wells Journal and Fosse Way Magazine in 2009. Subsequently we see passing references in the Somerset Guardian and Western Daily Press, but again all these simply say that it is doing certain things, and are not specifically about the choir. I do recognise some of the claims made in the Wikipedia article in some of these newspaper articles, so I suppose they could be used to back up some of the claims made, but I am not sure if the subject is really important enough or if the newspapers were read on a wide enough scale. By 2012/13 the Cornish Guardian alludes to them but merely says that they "entertained diners" or "will be singing a selection of music from Les Misérables and Godspell". Passing references continue but again are of little substance; in recent years most uses of the phrase are in other contexts. Again, there are many choirs like this in the world, and most of them don't have Wikipedia articles: Anglosphere ones shouldn't be privileged over all the others.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete - I cannot find significant coverage about this choir. -- Whpq (talk) 23:04, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Fails GNG and ORG per nom, RobinCarmody did a good BEFORE and found nothing that meets SIGCOV from IS RS addressing the subject directly and indepth. Promos, primary and mentions do not show N. No objection to a redirect after deletion to Churchill Community School, but there is no properly sourced content for a merge; since the article involves living persons, I'd oppose a redirect without a deletion. // Timothy :: talk 17:48, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. There is no indication in what’s available in sources, including my own search, that the subject meets WP:NORG or WP:GNG. I could see keeping the article if either of these were met, but clearly they aren’t so I think deletion is the correct outcome, since WP:GNG and WP:NORG aren’t satisfied.
