The Russian School Of Music Boys Choir

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable band; only evidence offered for notability is a link to one Doane College page listing National Merit scholars, including one of the band members, where the band gets a passing mention in his (presumably self-submitted) biography. —Bkell (talk) 10:16, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

I would argue that The Russian School Of Music Boys Choir are a notable band by the fact that the Doane College University web page officially endorses the notoriety of said band by mentioning them on their official website (regardless if the biography is self-submitted or not, which there is no evidence to prove one way or another). The fact that there is actual output by the band on their Myspace page gives backing to the band's current music activity and genuine existence. There remains a substantial amount of actual plays of their music on the LastFM website that back up this claim. -SirJaunty 16:54, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. I see no evidence that this unsigned musical group meets any of the WP:MUSIC criteria. The Doane College page is not even media coverage and says nothing significant about this group except that a student at the college is a member of it. --Metropolitan90 03:11, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as failing WP:MUSIC. No major releases, no news articles to be found and far far too new to merit an article on any other grounds - Peripitus (Talk) 11:34, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete The "Russian School of Music" does not even exist as an organization, only a cute name this guys decided to use for their group.DGG 13:54, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. The article itself makes no real assertion of the notability of the band in my opinion given that the Doane college link is simply a (self-submitted?) list and its mention on the university website is not sufficient to fulfill WP:MUSIC criteria. Furthermore, there are no independent references, bar that dubious example, with all other external links pointing to sites of their own creation. Will (aka Wimt ) 15:59, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:MUSIC and no independent WP:SOURCEs. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pigman (talk • contribs) 20:02, 7 April 2007 (UTC).
