Article has been unsourced since creation in February 2010. Created by a SPA. I cannot find in-depth coverage in RS. Fails WP:ORG. Delete. Just Chilling (talk) 00:58, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There are plenty of sources to support this (I don’t have time to add today but I’ll come back to it). The significance lies in its being the oldest musical society in Wales. Mccapra (talk) 07:40, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

We should be very slow to assume there are no decent sources for such a venerable organisation. The question is not whether Google knows about it. Rathfelder (talk) 15:32, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. 1891 is not that old, and the claim is unsourced. The Madrigal Society, for instance, dates back to at least 1744. I don't think keeping on the basis of age alone is justified, but I have no comment on whether it is actually notable. SpinningSpark 00:44, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - the claim of being "the oldest musical society in Wales" also looks not to be correct - see Melingriffith Brass Band and Treorchy Male Choir. Just Chilling (talk) 00:58, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ~SS49~ {talk} 12:48, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. We have a claim of significance in the article that isn't true, and a claim on this page that sources will be added, also apparently untrue. All we are left with is a claim that the organisation exists, which is uncited. Fails WP:NORG big time. SpinningSpark 14:25, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
