The Capella of Calvin College

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

College choir that does not appear to pass WP:BAND. Only possible places are criterion 4, where the article does assert international touring, but I could not find reliable sources covering this as required, and criterion 9, since the article asserts placing in a music competition. However, since the competition they competed in (the Florilege Vocal de Tours Competition) was a qualifier for the notable competition referenced (the European Grand Prix for Choral Singing, it does not seem to itself be a "major music competition". gnfnrf (talk) 14:57, 4 November 2008 (UTC) 
 * Keep International tour = passes WP:MUSIC. I see no reason to deviate from the usual standards in this case. Wily D  15:41, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * WP:MUSIC doesn't say that. Criterion 4 reads "Has received non-trivial coverage in a reliable source of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country."  I don't see where the tour was covered in reliable sources.  If actual consensus is that the tour establishes notability, not the coverage, then the WP:MUSIC needs to be changed to reflect this.  In such a case, I would withdraw the nom. gnfnrf (talk) 16:11, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I have asked this question in general (and in more depth) on the talk page for WP:MUSIC, at Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(music). gnfnrf (talk) 16:33, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, I see this wording is subject to longstanding dispute. I don't usually worry about AfD or marginal musical articles, so I'm not privy to it's long details. Wily D  18:10, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge to Calvin College whatever can be sourced. It would enhance the college page but I see no reason for a separate article, particularly since it is mostly unsourced. TerriersFan (talk) 20:51, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, –Juliancolton Tropical  Cyclone  14:30, 10 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge As per TerriersFan, the article can't really stand alone, unless more sources establishing notability are produced.Theseeker4 (talk) 15:37, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
