College a cappella group which fails WP:MUSIC. Claims to have sold 100,000 cds but there is no verifiable, third party source for this. savidan(talk) (e@) 09:13, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge to List of collegiate a cappella groups. --ⁿɡ͡b Nick Boalch\talk 10:44, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Except that this is not a collegiate a cappella group. Did you read the article? Jesuschex 15:38, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Indeed I did. It's in Category:Collegiate a cappella groups. --ⁿɡ͡b Nick Boalch\talk 16:09, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- It is also in Category:Professional a cappella groups, and as far as I can tell, those two are (or should be) mutually exclusive. It was put in collegiate by an editor who was removing a copyvio. I'll fix it. Jesuschex 03:32, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. I don't think WP:MUSIC is a problem; they've toured, they've been independently reviewed. They have one album on a label, and some self-released ones, but A Capella is somewhat out of the mainstream, so I think we could stand to be flexible. I don't see this article making Wikipedia more indiscriminate in its selection of topics. Mangojuicetalk 15:52, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Where are you getting this "independently reviewe" claim from? There are no sources in the article. savidan(talk) (e@) 17:16, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Delete. While notability might be sufficient, I am more concerned about the complete absence of any reputable third-party sources to verify. I just feel that any group worthy of its own encyclopedia article should have at least one good source other than its own website and a nearly blank listing at AMG (which is not restricted to notable bands). If someone can provide, I am happy to change my opinion. --Satori Son 14:38, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, I don't see an issue here. They have an amg entry, all of their cds are in stock in amazon[1], 8 hits about them on google news. Doesn't seem like a random garage band to me. - Bobet 14:57, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
