Penny Loafers
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable college a capella club. Not signed to a record label, no major hits, no significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Hence, fails WP:BAND. Fails WP:GNG as well. Wikipedia:No one cares about your college a capella group. GrapedApe (talk) 13:16, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge material about the a capella group to Student life at the University of Pennsylvania, then redirect the current article title to slip-on shoe (the article about the shoe type), and, finally, update the hatnote at that article to point to the student life article instead of its current target. There's some material about this, and it's certainly a longstanding part of the University of Pennsylvania. But there's really minimal-to-zero evidence of notability independent of that context. It survived the 2007 first AFD on the back of the "international tour" criterion in WP:BAND, which has such a sordid history that the current wording (which the Penny Loafers don't seem to qualify for) comes with a warning note. I think it's safe to consider that inadequate against our current sourcing expectations. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 16:42, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. This appears to be just one of about ten a cappella groups at Penn. No relevant sources have been provided other than two specialized a cappella sites and the group's own site (the other sources cited are broken or irrelevant links). --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:05, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per above, with all of the merge stuff outlined by Squeamish Ossifrage. Surely the group got its name from the shoes? It makes no sense that this title redirects to a group named after the shoes, rather than something about the shoes themselves. Especially given the non-n nature of the group.

 * Redirect to the shoes. Material doesn't appear significant enough for a merger.  Nyttend (talk) 02:43, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
