Hi Sam Sailor, thanks. I do not insist on having my submission published. Just to explain why I created the List_of_performances_by_the_West-Eastern_Divan_Orchestra draft in the first place: The thought behind it - a list of concerts that this particular orchestra has played all over the world - is that this is not an ordinary list of concert gigs. Whereas the notion that every single set of Rolling Stones tour dates must be available on Wikipedia does not seem to contribute to our deeper understanding of that band's history or being, the mere fact that this Jewish-Arabian classical music project continues to exist is in itself something that cannot be taken for granted. In this regard, the list of the WEDO's past concerts (including one in Ramallah) constitutes an important empirical factor in establishing the notion that the project is something extraordinary. Not the single concert matters but the body of appearances on aggregate, simply because they defy all kinds of logic. But as I said, I do not insist. It was just a thought that this might be of relevance. Best regards, Jacqueshobbes (talk) 12:26, 16 January 2019 (UTC) Wed 16 January 2019 13:26 (European Standard Time)[reply]
