Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of gamelan ensembles in the United States (2nd nomination)
Not an indiscriminate list, and not . While we couldn't have a list of garage bands, there seems to be sufficient overhead in putting together a gamelan ensemble that there are only ~100 in the United States, most of them sponsored by universities. Also the idea of listing them is not only considered important by The American Gamelan Institute/Dartmouth University, but a similar list is published by the Embassy of Indonesia itself (both are external links from the article). While we could simply link to these sites from our main article on gamelan, the WP list can be made encyclopedic. While line-items in a list don't each have to meet WP:N, I'd like to see at least a mention of each ensemble in some kind of source other than the band's website or the Darmouth or embassy lists. Each has almost certainly been mentioned in local or college newspapers, or publications of the colleges hosting each ensemble
