Carnegie Mellon University Kiltie Band

Non-notable college marching band. Some tangential mentions in newspapers, but not enough to satisfy WP:GNG's requirement that subjects receive "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." No evidence of notability. GrapedApe (talk) 20:20, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unless further sources can be found, Merge to Carnegie Mellon University#Traditions (where it is already mentioned) or better, to Carnegie Mellon University traditions (where it probably belongs but isn't yet included). —SMALL JIM 21:22, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There is a very recent deletion discussion for this article.[1] It seems like it should be linked.--Hjal (talk) 06:21, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. I've added the usual infobox above. —SMALL JIM 11:15, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or merge and redirect until expanded. The Find sources template does not work well with lengthy article titles. Googling for "Carnegie" "Kiltie Band" in the News and Books areas turns up sufficient hits to demonstrate notability and to complete an encyclopedic article that is more than a stub.--Hjal (talk) 06:21, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I am failing to find these sources, perhaps you would be so kind as to share them with us, so that they may be evaluated for WP:GNG purposes?--GrapedApe (talk) 11:29, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as lacking in-depth coverage in multiple independent sources. If in-depth coverage in multiple independent sources is added to the article, feel free to ping my talk page. Stuartyeates (talk) 00:59, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The band was formed in 1908, so it seems reasonable that somebody is going to write about it over the last 100 years. Yet, the only thing that comes up is one word mentions in news articles such as obits and interest story in a person (e.g., he was in the Kiltie band). A sampling of what comes up is New York Times July 15, 1990. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette July 22, 1998, Allen Dodds was the first the first bagpiper in the Carnegie Tech Kiltie Band.Dallas Morning News March 27, 2006 -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 11:42, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
