The result was Redirected to Tufts University, as this group is not notable enough by the standards of WP:Music to have an independent article. (aeropa gitica) 22:10, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Shir Appeal
Non-notable college a cappella group. Besides some alleged performances at various Synagogues and Hebrew Schools, the groups only claim to notability is a "Contemporary A Cappella Recording Award, which appears neither prestigious or notable.savidan(talk) (e@) 05:01, 1 September 2006 (UTC) Relisted due to not enough votes Luigi30 (Ta&lambda;k) 15:01, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Not notable. Flying Jazz 23:54, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:MUSIC. I think the CARA award is a pretty major music award for its genre. --badlydrawnjeff talk 00:16, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Sudenly a group wins "best mixed song" at some awards show no one has ever heard of and they are the new black? savidan(talk) (e@) 06:37, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Define "Some awards show," and show what it means in the context of their genre/style, and we'll talk. --badlydrawnjeff talk 12:34, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
 * One reason that an editor might call the CARA "some awards show no one has ever heard of" is that there is not a Wikipedia article for it and it is not mentioned once in the A cappella or Contemporary a cappella articles. Based on the number of a cappella groups submitted as articles to Wikipedia and the strong desire among people associated with these groups to get free publicity, I think we need more notability than winning one questionably notable award one year.

 * It's a reasonable disagreement, I suppose. I understand the desire to curb the self-promotion, I'm just thinking this is the only one of the bloc that was nominated that seems logical to include. --badlydrawnjeff talk 12:09, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete unless sourced. Redirect to Tufts University (where they're already listed.) I find 9 newshits, 2 are "Shir Appeal appears at ...",, 7 are passing mentions. None establish the claims made in the article. ~ trialsanderrors 07:37, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Trialsanderrors as there is no evidence of notability. GRBerry 02:02, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Trialsanderrors. Insufficiently notable per WP:MUSIC, but, more importantly, contents cannot be verified since no sources per WP:V. -- Satori Son 12:24, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect --Peta 05:42, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
