Dartmouth Wind Symphony was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was ambiguous. Failing to reach a clear consensus to delete, the article defaults to KEEP with a recommendation to redirect. Rossami 23:36, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Someone is late with an entry, it seems. Another valid contribution to the Dartmouth College "Student Life" section that is not sufficiently notable for an isolated article. N.b. that the assignment students are pursuing does not instruct them to write about Dartmouth topics, and it appears that some of the students are not taking the time to, for example, find our "Requested Articles" list. Nevertheless, this is insufficiently notable. Geogre 18:07, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC)

  • Merge and redirect. Merge/delete destroys edit history (the delete would be pointless anyway). — Gwalla | Talk 22:30, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Merge and Redirect to Dartmouth College after boiling down to a few sentences. Comments follow. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 22:45, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I think: Eastman Wind Ensemble, notable; Dartmouth Wind Symphony, non-notable. Now I'm going to check my belief. "Eastman Wind Ensemble:" 9250 Google hits. "Dartmouth Wind Symphony:" 92 Google hits. Amazon.com, search Classical Music for Eastman Wind Ensemble. 34 results. Dartmouth Wind Symphony: I was momentarily surprised by the 382 results until I read the caption, "We found no matches for 'Dartmouth Wind Symphony'. Below are results for wind symphony."
But I have another question. Not rhetorical. Is it a notable group on the Dartmouth campus? If I look at hop ensembles, I see the Barbary Coast Jazz Ensemble, Dartmouth Chamber Singers, Dartmouth Glee Club, Dartmouth Gospel Choir, Handel Society of Dartmouth College, Dartmouth College Marching Band, Dartmouth Symphony Orchestra, Dartmouth Wind Symphony, and World Music Percussion Ensemble. And that's just at "the hop." There are probably at lot more (I don't see the Dodecaphonics on that list, for example). Well, if you had to pick the most notable, would it be the Wind Ensemble? If you had to pick the three most notable, would it include the Wind Ensemble? That is, does it even deserve two or three sentences or should there it just be one in a list of musical groups?

  • Delete, do not merge. No evidence of notability, local or otherwise. Wile E. Heresiarch 03:16, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Looks like Darthmouth is FULL of wind. RickK 05:34, Aug 24, 2004 (UTC)
