The University of Illinois Rip Chords

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable college a cappella group. There are no references to independent, published sources or even an unsourced claim to meet a notability criterion at WP:MUSIC. Only claims to notability are placing for regional ICCA awards. These do not amount to a bonafide justification for an article, as there is not sufficient sourced content which does not originate from the group itself (i.e. its website and the sites it uses to sell its self-published cds). Take it to Acapedia, or a similar site, which does not share Wikipedia's notability requirements. Savidan 00:07, 9 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. Sorry, but again - this passes WP:MUSIC, Has won or placed in a major music competition. (The International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella) Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry 02:24, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * If they won the overall competition (or got second), you might have a case. 3rd place at regionals doesn't do it. Savidan 03:31, 9 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Weak Delete per lack of coverage from independent sources. I dont think their finishes at a regional competition is notable Corpx 05:04, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Passes WP:MUSIC due to the fact that the group has won many awards. --Nenyedi Talk Deeds@ 11:53, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. The awards they have won are from regional competitions, not major awards. The group has never qualified for the national finals in a cappella competition. --Metropolitan90 07:17, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete They've never done any better than the semi-finals, even in their region. Not surprisingly, no third party coverage. DGG (talk) 20:15, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete no third part coverage, no indcation of meeting notability guidelines. Nuttah68 14:29, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. GreenJoe 21:45, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
