Choral group long unreferenced, with limited English-language interest -- the article is a mess after many years of being filled with puffery, and doesn't add much value to English Wikipedia. Sadads (talk) 00:35, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Add the references that already appear in the Slovenian Wikipedia's article at https://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmina_Slovenica "With limited English-language interest" is never a valid reason for deletion. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 00:50, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Eastmain -- the sources on sl Wikipedia appear to be passing mentions or self-promotional -- they don't meet the criteria of significant coverage, beyond the normal treatment of a choir performing in a local context, Sadads (talk) 11:41, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Per Eastmain. Just needs writing and sourcing. Surprised to see this from somebody as resourceful as Sadads.♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:09, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Dr. Blofeld The standard is higher for performance groups than "it has a few sources", per Wikipedia:BAND -- the current article doesn't make the case for notability, Sadads (talk) 11:44, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The coverage is there though, this New York Times article talks about its 2015 production "Toxic Psalms". An extensive article on the Slovenian culture website here. Cambridge Companion of Choral Music mentions it on page 207 but I can't access it. Plenty more hits in google books and I'm sure there'll be numerous reviews in other newspapers. It just needed cleanup of the cruft, writing and sourcing. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:17, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Slwiki also offers multiple sources that were published by mainstream reliable media A09 (talk) 14:22, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Due to the sources mentioned by Dr. Blofeld. MrsSnoozyTurtle 06:02, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Well referenced now, and clearly notable. The potentisl should have shown up on the pre-nomination search. Aymatth2 (talk) 14:46, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Not only "limited English sources" is not a valid argument, it's also false that slwiki has promotional sources. 5/6 sources are from mainstream Slovene media companies. A09 (talk) 14:22, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
