Fails WP:NMUSIC. Hasn't won any major awards, nor charted in any country. No albums from any major labels. --  Darth Mike (talk) 13:44, 4 November 2016 (UTC)


 * I wouldn't contest the cultural signifance of Collegiate a Capella in general. But this article does have that distinctive promotional/adverstising flair that one sees too often on WP.  I realize other such groups do have an article, but I think these exclusionary examples from Criteria should be considered:

"Any reprints of press releases, other publications where the musician or ensemble TALKS ABOUT THEMSELVES, and all advertising that mentions the musician or ensemble, including manufacturers' advertising.[note 3]" The refs are such material.

"Works consisting merely of trivial coverage, such as articles that simply report performance dates, release information or TRACK LISTINGS, or the publications of contact and booking details in directories."

I'd say this article definitely should be considered in light of these guidelines. I don't know the worthiness of the other such pages, but I'd say, this one based on its own merits should at a minimum be rewritten to bring it more in line with current guidelines. There seems to be no distinguishing features that justify this article beyond its own self-aggrandizement. The listed awards apparently do not have any external sources that support their implied significance beyond their own artistic domain. In the absence of a rewrite I would ask for a delete.--J. M.

 * Delete: the group took part in a May 2015 reality TV series featuring other a capella groups, Sing It On, which has been reported in at least one reliable source, . But all this amounts to is passing mentions along the lines of "one of the groups taking part", there really isn't any other information to warrant their own article.
