Everything from "This list covers groups of people." to the table is necessary? While it is true that the notability problem plagues musician-related articles, how many lists have a description of what can be considered as notable enough to be on the list; I'm copying it here and removing it:

Notability/relevancy requirements for the list:

This list covers groups of people. There is a separate list of Maryland music people. A group, as relevant to this list, refers to a group that primarily exists for the purpose of performing in an organized capacity. Thus, it does not include non-profit organizations that promote music, businesses that sell music-related goods or services, educational institutions that teach music, or social clubs that may feature performances but are not primarily attended for the purpose of seeing a specific musical group.

This list features any relevant musical group that:

Is covered in an academic journal article or book, provided coverage goes beyond mere listing as an example of a broader trend
Is documented as having special notability or popularity within a field
Is listed in a reputably published appendix of performers, provided significant editorial discretion in selection was utilized
Is a large, formally-organized group that has a history of regular performances (e.g. a symphony orchestra)
Has received unusual coverage from reliable media sources, not necessarily for entirely musical reasons

This might be worth discussion; if someone deems it necessary to put this snippet back, please do let me know why. backstabb 03:18, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
