I can find no news for this organization since 2007 and very little prior to that. I proposed deletion as this group probably never obtained the level of notability. Wkharrisjr (talk) 14:18, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

The most recent concert I've been able to trace on Google was in 2008. —MistyMorn (talk) 19:45, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I'm reluctantly heading towards a delete !vote here. They appear to be no longer active. Their web domain has expired and their Facebook page is stale. If, as the article claims, they premiered significant Irish works in their lifetime, then they could merit coverage, but we would need independent sources to verify this. --Deskford (talk) 20:21, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I sympathise with that response. I feel that there's no hurry to delete a page providing some reference information which may not have been compiled in other secondary/tertiary sources. So personally I'd be more inclined towards a tentative keep !vote. —MistyMorn (talk) 11:17, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete fails WP:BAND. no major recognition and a mere 3 gnews hits. [1]. LibStar (talk) 00:10, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lol, when I tried to verify per WP:BAND I stumbled on Music in London (2010), which acknowledges the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Apparently, just a couple of years out of date... —MistyMorn (talk) 10:08, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Here is a picture of the orchestra. The key words in the article seem to be "provide a forum for young musicians". The one reference in the article states that the "composer in residence" from 2005-7 graduated with a bachelor's degree in 2009 (although the composer seems to be at least as notable as the orchestra). This source is a dedicated but brief article. This is a press release, although from the government it is reliable. Here is a couple of paragraphs and list of six members. Here is a brief mention. This Feb 2009 source expected that there would be a concert in April 2009. I looked at merging to London#Music but the material doesn't fit there. Probably this topic needs a userfy to merge to a new List of <something>, but meanwhile the current article has zero citations. Unscintillating (talk) 01:09, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
