The result was DELETE. Although a current student at MIT myself, I must agree with the conclusion that Resonance isn't that notable. Larry V (talk | contribs) 10:03, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Second nomination for deletion (see first one here) The article only asserts notability weakly, as having been "recognied by the Contemporary A Cappella Society". They play on campus and do not seem to go on tour, and their albums are self-released, so it fails WP:MUSIC. The article has remained in this state since March. Delete.

• Delete as per nom. No encyclopedic notability asserted. Fails WP:Music. It was asserted in the first afd that inclusion in the 2006 Best of College A Capella CD (as one of about 20 tracks from about 20 different groups) indicated that the group had won a major competition. I'm not sure about this. Here's an excerpt from the contest's FAQ[1]:

Does it cost anything to appear on BOCA? Yes. Groups are required to pre-purchase 50 CDs at $5 apiece, for a total of $250, in order to appear on BOCA. Note that you are not limited to 50 CDs; some groups have bought many more and sold them on campus for much more than $5 each. What do we get out of appearing on BOCA? Bragging rights for one. More than 100 CDs are submitted each year for BOCA, of which we will choose fewer than 20. You can sell your copies at any price, though you only pay us $5 for them, so at $15 per, you make a 200 per cent profit. You also get international publicity, and we include contact information in the liner notes so people who like what they hear can order your disc.

Well, the "international publicity" sounds nice (though all the groups on the 2006 CD were from the US, and the organization running the contest is taking, rather than giving money away...) Bwithh 04:20, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
