Diverse Harmony[edit]

Meets notability? User0529 (talk) 01:46, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to GALA Choruses rather than delete. It ain't the Vienna Boys Choir. Mandsford (talk) 14:01, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I've been working on other articles so haven't addressed this one as yet. My hunch is that it should be kept as it does assert notability; Many members of GALA also have articles but this is one of the very few and first youth groups. Banjeboi 23:26, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
~~Merge~~ to Gay and Lesbian Association of Choruses. Does not assert notability - membership of GALA does not confer notability, the other choirs with articles are notable AND are GALA members, not BECAUSE OF. Thousands of youth choirs exist, this one has to have proven notability through sources. It doesn't so should be deleted until they do something notable.Yobmod (talk) 08:59, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Article rewritten. Banjeboi 14:46, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep. Merging seems to be the same as deleting as there really is little to no room in the parent article to explore individual choirs. I believe there is hundreds of organizations in GALA if not over a 1000. In any case this group, the world's first in many respects, was the only youth group to be featured in a full-length documentary along with three "grown-ups" choirs and that documentary is making the worldwide LGBT film fest circuit. In addition it has been shown on 300 PBS stations around the United States. I think I've filled in enough for now to demonstrate notability. Banjeboi 14:46, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Correction, they seem to have 120+ choruses and over 7,500 singers. Banjeboi 00:15, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – now clearly meets WP:N guidelines thanks to Benjiboi's excellent work on the article. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 03:00, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Excellent job of adding sources to establish notability. Kudos to User:Benjiboi for the expansion and sourcing! Alansohn (talk) 05:14, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
