Zero secondary sources. Cannot locate sufficient sourcing to indicate notability per WP:NORG. AusLondonder (talk) 13:09, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, no usable secondary sources found in my search. Yes, the competitions technically make a WP:NBAND#9 case, but it seems to me that piping is an insular world, and that success in that field in no way correlates to actual coverage. Even in the three specialty sources for piping I found (pipedrums.com, pipingpress.com, bagpipe.news) this band lacked coverage. Searches in Trove, ProQuest, newspapers.com and NewspaperArchive also failed to find anything other than routine coverage, which convinces me that other offline sources probably don't exist.

Delete Unreferenced, Mach61's comprehensive searches above prove that no reliable sourcing is available. Fails WP:ORG. LibStar (talk) 22:22, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: the only sourcing that exists online stem from publications about piping. WP:BAND#9 is loosely met but they aren't really major, couple of local/regional competitions, some national wins, though, but it's not only unsourced and doesn't seem notable. there's WP:OR here as well.
