Orchestra of St Paul's

Contested prod on the basis that the band are 'famous'. Unfortunately no one has provided independent sources to establish notability and a search provides no coverage either. Based on that this ensemble fails WP:MUSIC. Nuttah (talk) 15:16, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - notable orchestra. Badagnani (talk) 07:43, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete, if they really were famous I think it would be easier to find independent sources. Pulsaro (talk) 18:10, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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

Merge to St Paul's, Covent Garden. No need to lose the content, it will fit nicely there. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 14:23, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge Insufficient notability for stand-alone article. I merged, but have not redirected. ChildofMidnight (talk) 19:49, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm, not convinced by a merge. Looking at the church website the only connection between the two is that the orchestra rents the church as a venue. If we're going to start merging every non notable ensemble to a notable venue just because there is a commercial agreement between them we're going to end up with some mighty long articles.
