Best of College A Cappella

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable college a cappella compilation (WP:MUSIC). Not an award so much as a piramid scheme; i.e. you have to pre-purchase some of their CDs to get your tracks on the CD (to the tune of $250). Not a single independent source (i.e. a major national newspaper, etc.) writes about this compilation as being notable. In my due-dilligence lexis search I found two trivial mentions (one in a San Fransisco Chronicle human interest piece about Stanford music groups, and one mention in a New York Times article about music and the internet, which I believe to be a different compilation because it says it was founded by Adam Farb of Smoking Fish Records). Was kept earlier in a confused group nomination that was marred by a high influx of anons and new accounts. Savidan 19:40, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete with fire: Seems to be a sort of vanity record label. Oh, and does it have multiple non-trivial references?  I didn't think so. David Mestel(Talk) 20:38, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not sufficiently notable.  --Nlu (talk) 05:34, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
