Not notable per WP:GNG and WP:BAND. All cited sources are either self-publications or trivial references. Bestagon (talk) 00:06, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete: Only found local references in before search (the Observer is the uni newspaper in the same uni where the group are based). Pulisi (talk) 13:23, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Blocked for UPE. MER-C 17:55, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep seem to be notable within the acapella genre going by the awards won and by the secondary coverage in the reception section, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:49, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Note that the reception section is mostly references to either 1) sources published by the university or 2) open online forums. NBAND has a pretty high bar for awards conferring notability (i.e., the Grammy's or the Juno Awards). Bestagon (talk) 02:57, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Most of the reviews are from this site here which seems to be a website with a staff rather than an open online forum, Atlantic306 (talk) 01:18, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, but anyone can submit their album to be reviewed by volunteer reviewers, per the link you sent. If that confers notability I can be a notable singer within three weeks (per the site)! Bestagon (talk) 06:22, 13 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep: Point taken but I still think the article is notable within the acapella genre going by the awards won. - Ret.Prof (talk) 15:57, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep: The A cappella genre is challenging; I'll go on the awards won, and say that yes, WP:NBAND sets the bar high, but sometimes we have to allow groups to just scrape through. --Whiteguru (talk) 09:12, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
