This article does not show notability when searching for Reliable Sources, most of the pages that come up are from their own website or minor musical festivals. In addition this article was created primary by two editors,Ckyopence and CKYO1947, probably sock puppets who clearly have a Conflict of Interest. VViking_TalkEdits 14:13, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

• If you have evidence of sock puppetry, this is not the page to discuss it, and it has no relevance to the topic being discussed.  Unscintillating (talk) 02:04, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

• Delete - Nominator sums it up well. The two primary editors have only edited this article and show a very strong sense of page ownership. One is a brand new account, the other made a series of edits to a draft of this in 2011 and came back today to move this to the article space. As seen with this edit, the page is obviously meant to be promotional. Thanks, - A Texas Historian (Questions?) 15:02, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
• Redirect to List of youth orchestras in the United States, where it is already listed.  While worthy of inclusion on Wikipedia, this topic is not by itself wp:notable, so must be discussed in a broader topic.  Nor does the Lexington Philharmonic Orchestra have an article.  So perhaps when we have more editors to work on building the encyclopedia, we will have an expansion article of Lexington, KY#Culture, such as Culture in Lexington, KY, where this topic can get more mentions.  Meanwhile, I suggest that the nominator use the source in this article to improve List of youth orchestras in the United States.  Unscintillating (talk) 02:04, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

• Merge to Music of Kentucky  Compare with Music of North Carolina.  Unscintillating (talk) 14:40, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

• Merge to Music of Kentucky makes sense. Stevie is the man! ^{Talk • Work} 12:26, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Selective merge to Music of Kentucky. Leave out the list of past directors, and just cherry pick the most important facts, per WP:UNDUE. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:29, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
