NQC[edit]

"NQC" should redirect here. 66.19.229.105 14:34, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct. Right now it goes to a programming language called "Not Quite C," notable in its own right. I'll ask on that talk page about moving it in favor of a disambiguation page. Acdixon 14:54, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

For anyone still keeping track, NQC is now a disambiguation page that includes this article. Acdixon 14:07, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question about origin.[edit]

According to this Wikipedia page, the NQC started in 1957. However, an organization with the same name was founded in Chicago in 1947 or 1948.^[1]

Another solid cite on the creation of the Chicago NGC: Marovich's A City Called Heaven^[2]

The Chicago NQC existed at least until 1955.^[3].

The relationship between the two should be clarified, but the existence of the first should definitely be documented. The Chicago NQC was founded by members of the influential gospel groups, the Soul Stirrers, and the Famous Blue Jays, and it was part of the development of notable musicians such as Sam Cooke and Lou Rawls.

Followup research: the "southern gospel music" (SGM, aka White) NGC may have been founded in 1950, according to Desnoyers-Colas & Howard^[4]. Since I'm still picking this stuff up piecemeal, I'm not going to edit the main article yet.

Lack of Citations[edit]

Why is all of the information in this article unsubstantiated? Assertions like "The week is largely attended by the older generation but lately due to the popularity of groups such as the Booth Brothers, Signature Sound, Legacy Five, The Collingsworth Family and the Gaither Vocal Band, the fans are becoming younger" are completely uncredited to any source. What gives? 99.97.90.206 (talk) 20:34, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Here we are, nearly six years after the post above, and nothing has changed — only one citation of any kind. This article is at risk of removal for lack of notability, even though I know in my own mind that it clearly would meet notability guidelines of some people more knowledgeable about Southern Gospel music would put some work into it. It's out of my genre — my radio work was and my own personal taste is in contemporary Christian music. Realkyhick (talk) 01:05, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
