• Keep - refs easily found on ballet and its productions from different types of media. Not hugely notable yet, but passes the minimum requirements. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

• Delete The article has no claims of significance. Also the article looks like a Brochure of the band that taken from their website.JackTracker (talk) 22:08, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep and fix. The article does need cutting and tone adjustment. But multiple examples of substantial coverage of its activities are found in searches (see the GNews search link above, for example), enough anyway to suggest this has become a notable cultural institution in Melbourne. --Arxiloxos (talk) 02:33, 8 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep - Melbourne City Ballet is not by any means a notable cultural institution in Melbourne, it is just an independent dance company with an impressive sounding name. It is not especially notable and coverage is not particularly significant or independent, but it might just pass the test.Boneymau (talk) 03:26, 8 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep - borderline notable - hm m.... Deathlibrarian (talk) 10:52, 8 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
