The result was redirect to Birmingham Conservatoire. Redirected - please merge as necessary. Seems the right outcome based om struggling to pass notability and being a clear part of the Conservatorie Spartaz ^Humbug! 11:34, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Article, tagged as unreferenced since 2007 with no improvement, about a classical music ensemble. While there are claims here that would probably pass WP:NMUSIC if they were referenced, no NMUSIC criterion can ever be fulfilled just by asserting that it's passed — NMUSIC is not passed until reliable source coverage is present to verify the accuracy of the claim to passage. But if the closest thing to referencing that's ever been added to the article in nine full years of existence is the primary source webpage of the group's organizer, then it doesn't get to stick around.

• Delete as none of this suggests better satisfying the notability guidelines. SwisterTwister talk 05:54, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Keep, verging on keep - I was able to find three articles on the ensemble in the Birmingham Post without much work. (Birmingham has a well-known reputation for being a centre for contemporary classical music that dates back to Rattle.) They seem to often do concerts to mark presentations of composers with honorary doctorates. All three articles are by the same author but over a period of over a decade. They seem to be a well-known if irregularly playing student ensemble in the local area. What does concern me is the lack of a permanent website, but still, my position is weak keep to keep.

• Merge into Birmingham Conservatoire and redirect. They're a group of students from the Conservatoire, co-ordinated by a Professor (according to the Conservatoire's website, anyway) Neiltonks (talk) 14:08, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
