No evidence that this student orchestra meets WP:NBAND, WP:NORG or WP:GNG. In terms of NBAND, no indication that ensemble has released or charted a single or album, has been nominated for any award, won any major music competitions or anything similar (According to its own webpage, it only "give[s] around 4/5 public performances annually"). In terms of NORG and GNG, the only coverage I can find in national news sources are these [1] [2] [3] in the Irish Times and these [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] in the Irish Independent stable of regional/national papers. All are trivial passing mentions where the subject is only fleetingly mentioned. The only review I can find is a single/solitary example in Hot Press: [9]. I can otherwise find no independent sources that deal with the subject as a primary topic. Guliolopez ( talk) 16:06, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

- Comment. Hi. And thanks for your note. While I'm all for alternatives to deletion and 100% agree that the subject here has no independent notability, could I ask what text we might merge and to where? Given that all of the content is fairly banal (orchestra exists, has done so since 2002, first played publicly in 2005, and continues to a handful of times annually) and is not supported by any independent sources? Separately, and with every welcome to the project, you may want to take a quick look at why "may not be notable, but could be useful" is included among the "arguments to avoid in deletion discussions" examples.
