Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Family opera initiative
The productions (and collaborators) are notable. The article has a few references to |independent, reliable sources, but it needs more. In the next couple of days, I'll see if I can some in specialist opera publications, but even now I think it qualifies as a weak keep. I strongly suggest the article's creator try to supply more as well. However, and this is a big "however", the article needs a ''major re-write''. I've formatted it to at least conform to the |Wikipedia Manual of Style but I've also tagged it for instances of verbatim copy-paste from the official website and overly promotional tone. In the later instances, the material from their web site and associated blog has not been copied verbatim but it is such Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing|close paraphasing that it verges on |copyvio. I also removed the multiple duplicate linkages both to relevant Wikipedia articles and to the official web site of FOI and those of its collaborators. I don't think this was intentional spam, just an inexperienced editor. It's also pretty obvious that the article's creator has a major conflict of interest. That is ''not'' a reason for deleting an article, but I strongly suggest that he and his collaborators read  for guidance on editing under these circumstances and that they bear in mind that a Wikipedia article is not an alternate web site for their organization. Its layout, tone, and content must conform to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines
