 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable musical group, fails WP:MUSIC, unreliable references, one brief mention of performance date on MLB site MuffledThud (talk) 18:03, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Bands and musicians-related deletion discussions.  —MuffledThud (talk) 18:09, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Falls far short of the notability guidelines listed above Lets  drink  Tea  18:57, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:MUSIC. Non-notable, however, I would reconsider if more sources were added. ErikTheBikeMan (talk) 18:58, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep While most American universities have many groups that perform pop songs a cappella, Princeton only has Shere Khan--the other major groups at Princeton perform jazz or barbershop style. That means Shere Khan meets notability criterion #6 of WP:MUSIC. Furthermore, the guidelines at WP:MUSIC do not seem to be enforced uniformly--for example, see The Troy Tones, The Newtones, or Johns Hopkins Mental Notes. Bhilly (talk) 19:26, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Notability criterion #6 for musicians and ensembles in WP:MUSIC states "Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable...". Is that what you're referring to? You're right about the other groups though: they also look pretty non-notable, and I've just proposed one for deletion. MuffledThud (talk) 19:30, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry, no, I meant #7. And btw, I just added information to the article about other notable performances (for the Mets and the Hawaii Legislature). If you want to enforce WP:MUSIC strictly, I would bet you'd find upwards of 80 articles on college a cappella groups that merit deletion.Bhilly (talk) 19:49, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree with your last point, but see WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS. These things are virtually always deleted when they show up at AfD, and for most of the rest of them it's really just a matter of time. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  19:59, 22 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:MUSIC, WP:ORG, WP:N, WP:V, WP:RS, and anything else you'd care to toss at it. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  19:31, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, article fails to establish notability per WP:MUSIC. The closest they come is C4 for the international tours, but the only ref I could find was the one that is already on the page, and it doesn't meet exactly significant coverage in reliable, third-party, sources.    Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 21:36, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: trivial coverage. Non-notable. JamesBurns (talk) 06:15, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. It doesn't take long to go through 30 ghits and come up with nothing notable.  Fails WP:Music.  ♫ Cricket02 (talk) 00:11, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
