Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cantus Musicus
I'm still thinking about this, but am currently inclined towards deletion. The references and the article itself are heavily "padded" with material that has nothing whatsoever to do with the choir. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cantus_Musicus&oldid=857856499#Riddell-Eminent_pipe_organ This section is a prime example. The sole reference provided there https://web.archive.org/web/20110228230345/http://www.clacklinevalleyolives.com.au/Pipeorgan/Malaysia/KLStAndrews.html does not even mention this choir let alone support the assertion {{green|"Cantus Musicus has been accompanied by various pipe organists playing the Riddell-Eminent pipe organ in St Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Kuala Lumpur, on a number of occasions."}} There are multiple examples of these shenanigans in the references especially in the lead paragraph which asserts that various people have praised the choir. That and the obvious COI of the single-purpose accounts who are the principal editors of this article leads me to highly mistrust the putative contents of the offline sources. Basically, this is a small amateur choir that sings occasionally in church services and at minor events for charities, local organizations, and embassies. There is no evidence whatsoever that it passes any of the criteria at . Nor, is there much indication that it passes . Given that it has been in existence for 15 years and is still performing, there should be ''much'' more independent coverage available in the mainstream Malaysian press. All I have been able to find are two reviews in the "Community" section of ''The Star (Malaysia)|The Star'' (https://www.thestar.com.my/news/community/2006/03/13/choir-captivates-audience/ 2006 https://www.thestar.com.my/metro/metro-news/2017/12/21/sublime-moments-at-church-service-boy-treble-and-klbased-choir-deliver-goosebumps-with-superb-caroll/ 2017) and http://epaper.mmail.com.my/2016/12/19/carols-off-the-beaten-track/ this one in the now online-only ''Malay Mail''. References consisting of concert programs and announcements do ''not'' attest to notability. If this article is kept, it will need to be ''drastically'' pruned ''solely'' to what can be verified and will need a major copy edit for neutral point of view and encyclopedic content and tone
