Chord on Blues[edit]

College a cappella article which does not meet the notability requirements of WP:MUSIC or the verifiability requirements of WP:RS/WP:NOR. Only claim to notability is having appeared on Fox & Friends once. Multiple, non-trivial secondary-sources are required to establish the notability of a group. Claims from their own website are insufficient. savidan^{(talk) (e@)} 01:32, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom & previous discussions on these groups. SkierRMH,06:10, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

*Strong keep A cappella groups have some notability. This group has had serveral albums and many Google hits. A cappella groups are not radio towers. They are established musical organizations. S h a r k f a c e 2 1 7 06:13, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This keep vote has been copy and pasted and has nothing to do with the merits of this article. Good hits do not an article make. savidan^{(talk) (e@)} 06:15, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral Per my mistake in copying and pasting. S h a r k f a c e 2 1 7 06:29, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral They claim to have toured nationally in Canada, and would therefore meet WP:MUSIC. This is unverified, but I'm not convinced that it's unverifiable. Then again, it's been a stub in this condition for two years. If someone adds a source, I'll change to keep. On another note, I'm confused whether there's been a previous nomination for deletion; the article history suggests there has, but I can't seem to find one.

If there has it was under a different title. If there were reliable sources about their trip to Canada we might be talking.savidan^{(talk) (e@)} 08:43, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The article suggests it was only one appearance on Fox and Friends, which doesn't meet WP:MUSIC, and from what has been said, it doesn't look like any reliable source for the statement about touring across Canada will be found. —ShadowHalo 18:28, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for all the same reason as the other currently nominated groups --Dmz5 20:10, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I would argue, though perhaps not strenuously, that college a cappella groups touring are not automatically guaranteed notability. My a cappella group in college toured all the time, often "cross country" or "internationally" but it was always on the coattails of a larger choir or simply going to a bunch of other colleges and getting hosted by their a cappella groups and having a dual concert. This is not "touring" per se, in the way that the Harvard Krokodiloes tour.--Dmz5 20:10, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
