Meddiebempsters

 * — (View AfD)

An a cappella group at Bowdoin College. Doesn't seem to meet WP:MUSIC. Canderson7 (talk) 15:31, 9 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete - Don't think it meets WP:MUSIC so delete. Jayden54 16:04, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
 *  Reluctant Delete. - I'm torn. I don't think that the tour to Korea gives them the notability they need (a lot of college a cappella groups do international trips these days).  With the age of the group, I imagine there is probably something notable in their past that might get them up to and over the WP:MUSIC notability standards, but there simply aren't any citations for it.  Without good citations (and the group's own web site really isn't that, especially now while their server is down), "probably notable" doesn't make it.

 * Delete as a combo of WP:BAND and WP:MUSIC - can't get reliable independent notablity references.  SkierRMH, 07:45, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - WP:BAND and WP:MUSIC are the same thing. JDoorj a m    Talk 18:29, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
 * EXPAND - The article does meet WP:Music due to the Korean tour. Also, this group has played a vital role in the popularity of a cappella in the United States.  With such a rich history, this article is in need of a consdierable expansion, not deletion.  How is this group different from all the groups listed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Collegiate_a_cappella_groups —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.5.230.205 (talk) 05:40, 12 December 2006 (UTC).
 * Comment: Read the (heated) discussion about touring on the WP:MUSIC talk page. Going on a trip over winter break doesn't constitute a tour.  There are no sources available to back up the claims you've just made, or to support article expansion.  And explaining how this group differs from others is not the point of this AfD.
