Another WP:LINKFARM masquerading as a list with no actual articles. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 12:22, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as per nom and fails WP:LISTN as the main subject UK street choirs does not have a page. The article creator also seems to have a WP:COI. Dom from Paris (talk) 12:41, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. As it stands it's just a WP:LINKFARM and as a list topic it's too vague. What are the inclusion criteria? The article says it's a list of choirs in the "Campaign Choirs Network" but we don't usually have pages which are in effect an organisation's membership list, and if that criterion is removed we'd end up with a list which could contain every street choir that's ever existed in the UK.

• Keep Do Not Delete as this is a valid subject which can be enlarged to cover choirs all over Europe. As such it is a valid subject for discussion and hopefully amplification, particularly the international aspect of inter-choir contacts which is an important and interesting cultural phenomena. moxford (talk) 12:41, 21 June 2018 (UTC)— moxford (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a forum or a means to discuss subjects valid or otherwise, that is more the role of social media or specialised web sites. Subjects have to meet notability requirements and other guidelines and policies. Dom from Paris (talk) 10:23, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per WP:LISTN and WP:NOTLINKFARM. Ajf773 (talk) 20:35, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• Move and rework. A list of British choirs would satisfy LISTN. This, for example, has a list of youth choirs. This (cited by various books) has a list of choirs on the Net. We have a category "British choirs" that contains in excess of a hundred articles. So I advise moving this to List of British choirs, and overwrite the present contents with a list of the articles in our category, which are presumably notable.

The list is a list of street choirs formed specifically to protest in the streets at various meetings and political rallies, the members are not selected for their singing capabilities I believe. The aim is not to entertain as a traditional choir would. It would make little sense to have these choirs in the same list as Pontarddulais Male Choir or The Bach Choir for exemple. None of them are bluelinked and the length of a list of British choirs without limiting it to bluelinked articles would be unmanageable and should IMHO be limited as per the first case in WP:CSC. The list was created by a use who is a volunteer for Campaign Choirs Network to list their members. Dom from Paris (talk) 09:16, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Fails WP:LISTN and fails WP:EL with a link farm in the body of the article. Don't know why this needed to go to a relist, the only keep advanced no policy based rationale. SpinningSpark 19:04, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
