Notability and other issues[edit]

This is a semi-professional "opera company" less than a year old. The article is written like an advertisement and contains no evidence whatsoever of significant independent coverage in reliable sources which could attest to its notability. If these are not forthcoming, the article will be proposed for deletion. Voceditenore (talk) 17:44, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have drastically copyedited this article to remove the advertising and waffle and keep it only to the facts which can be verified. An encyclopedia article is not the place to advertise the founders' career aspirations, the company's availability for private functions, or their hopes to do outreach in schools. There is no evidence that any outreach or private function activity has taken place yet, let alone received any coverage in independent sources. Nor is this the place to advertise the company's future productions. I have managed to find two reviews of their second production in the Cherwell (an Oxford student newspaper) and added them to the article. So far, these two reviews are the only independent coverage I have been able to find. They do little to attest to the subject's notability, but at least they are better than the previous reference cited for this production (the company's advert placed on Classical-Music.com). I have removed the advertisement and primary sources tags, but left the notability tag. If no significant coverage of this company in sources beyond the student newspaper are forthcoming, I will propose this for deletion. Voceditenore (talk) 07:03, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

General - FAO Voceditenore[edit]

Hi Voceditenore, I just thought I'd explain some of what I've done here. Most of my edits are pretty self-explanatory I think, but I've removed the bit about Oxford Undergraduates in the opening sentence because it's no longer true. We did work with them for the first production, but not since. The second was still in collaboration with them though. I've also removed the reference to Paola and I being Oxford alumni because I'm still studying there and I couldn't work out a clean and concise way of saying that. By all means put it back in if you can think of a way! Anyway, let me know if there's anything more I should/could do. Is there anyway of putting our logo as a picture by the way? Might be quite nice; it looks very bare! Thanks for all your help! Best wishes, Nick 16:34, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Voceditenore, hope you had a fantastic New Year and good break! I was just wondering if you'd had a chance to read through the article? Also, is the general notability still in question, or can the header be removed? Thanks again for all your help, Nick 15:34, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
