A community-vased orchestra in a city of 90,000 is not likely to be notable; all the references are local. DGG ( talk ) 19:49, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Passes WP:GNG. With lots of significant coverage in The Boston Globe, I don't view all of the references as being local. Source examples include: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]. Northamerica1000^(talk) 23:25, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: Hrm ... given that there are over forty national capitals with a population smaller than Brockton's, that alone is no reason to delete, and nom's suggestion to that effect is entirely subjective. Article is well-referenced by several daily newspapers, and the Boston Globe has national scope -- this isn't a case of an article exclusively sourced by a local free weekly rag.

• Keep – well referenced with significant coverage. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 14:10, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment for small towns and cities near major international cities, information about local events often appears in the large city's newspapers. This creates some difficulty as compared with towns that do not have such nearby papers. The NYT covers NYC local events, and even though it is my city, I do not consider all of them therefore significant, DGG ( talk ) 16:56, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
