Notability[edit]

Way back in 2015, @The Banner suggested deleting the Wikipedia entry for this ensemble with the comment 'Doubtful if it passes WP:GNG. Not many Google hits (effectively 54) and no independent sourcing in the article'. @SwisterTwister agreed; and @MBisanz made the deletion. I discovered this deletion history when I tried to create an article for this band.

I can see why the article was deleted in its previous form, but with reference to newspaper reporting it's easy to show that that the band meets several of criteria for Wikipedia:Notability (music):

"Is an ensemble that contains two or more independently notable musicians"
"Has won first, second or third place in a major music competition". The most obvious example is the BBC National Big Band Competition.

I'm less sure of the customary usage of this criterion but:

"Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or television network": the band performed on BBC radio several times, not least in broadcasts relating to the aforementioned Big Band Competition; and also numerous times on the BBC TV series Blue Peter.

Having posted on The Banner's talk page, then, I have gone ahead and created a new and fully referenced article on the subject, in the belief that the notability of the subject is clear. Alarichall (talk) 23:04, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
