Article about a high school band program, referenced almost entirely to primary sources rather than evidence of any significant or notability-conferring press coverage. As always, topics like this are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist; the notability test is the reception of reliable source coverage about it in media. But there are just two pieces of media coverage being cited here, and they're both purely local coverage in the school's own local media market -- literally every last one of the other 25 footnotes is primary sourcing such as the band's own self-published content about itself, press releases from its parent school or the school board, and program "recaps" on the self-published websites of competitions they participated in. These are directly affiliated sources, not independent or neutral media coverage, so they are not notability-supporting sources -- and furthermore, the article is liberally threaded with inappropriate offsite links to YouTube video clips of their performances, which are also not notability-building sources. And with just two real media sources here which are both purely local, it has not been adequately demonstrated that they pass WP:GNG. Bearcat (talk) 16:45, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, I am not seeing where this high school unit raises to keep status for a stand alone article. Wikipedia is not a newspaper per WP:NOTNEWS and this subject matter has only very local interest; trivial. Kierzek (talk) 18:58, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete sub-units of high schools are virtually never notable. If they do get enough coverage to justify mention, they should be covered in the article on the high school.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:12, 11 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
