Noteworthy

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Contested PROD. This singing club seems, despite its name, to be not very noteworthy at all. Plenty of references but most are to blogs or other unreliable sources, and the albums, while carried on iTunes, are self-released. Stifle (talk) 09:25, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - just another of the many dozens of WP:UPANDCOMING a capella groups on campuses across the U.S.A. in recent years, each hoping to break big. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  12:46, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Noteworthy fulfills more than three notability requirements set by Wikipedia to have a page. Most of the reverences are not blogs. In the past 24 hours I have added about 10 references, none of which are a school newspaper (which is usually the only reference college a cappella groups give on their wikipedia pages). Noteworthy has performed on NBC's The Sing-Off, which averaged over 7 million viewers and Noteworthy was seen on three of the four 2-hour episodes and in the commercials. Noteworthy has one the International Competition of Collegiate A cappella, a world competition that in decided in New York City at the Lincoln Center.

I have gone through and cleaned up the quality by taking out what others have put in (opinionated and emotional statements).

Noteworthy is one of the many collegiate a cappella groups in the United States. Noteworthy performs for thousands of people all over the country each year. Noteworthy has received national recognition in the International Competition of Collegiate A Cappella and was featured on NBC's The Sing Off in 2009. Millions of viewers watched and supported the group on this show and voiced their support on their website, facebook, and on many YouTube videos. Noteworthy continues to perform all over the country and expands their fan base with each performance. They put on sold out shows in Utah and have even traveled to Hong Kong to perform. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.187.97.5 (talk) 15:44, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
 * If not deleted, move to Noteworthy (vocal group) or similar. Convert Noteworthy to a redirect to Noteworthy (disambiguation), which needs to then disambiguate.  Can be confused with Notable, Notability, Noteworthy and Notability.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 21:52, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Keep with a rename as suggested by SmokeyJoe. I normally vote against inclusion for college a cappella goups, but this one won the Intercollegiate Championship of A Cappella, as documented by (of all sources) NBC Sports. That's the equivalent of a national championship and makes them (pun intended) noteworthy. --MelanieN (talk) 15:33, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
