Voice_Male
This singing group is self-promoting itself via Wikipedia. It is also a duplicate of VoiceMale Jmanning 03:57, 7 April 2006 (UTC) —Jmanning is an account that was created on April 6. This nomination was their third edit. Primetime 21:44, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. 372 Google hits for "Voice Male" "a cappella". WP:BAND goes either way. Roy  boy cr ash  fan  [[Image:Flag of Texas.svg|30px]] 04:02, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
 * *I hit an edit conflict when you added to your nomination. Redirect to VoiceMale or Brandeis University. Roy  boy cr ash  fan  [[Image:Flag of Texas.svg|30px]] 04:04, 7 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Redirect per Royboy Delete per below -- T B C [[Image:Confused-tpvgames.gif|18px|]] ???  ???   ??? 04:06, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm pretty sure they're actually different groups, one based at Brandeis, in Massachusetts and one based in Utah, so watch out for false readings on google searches. Con  Dem Talk 04:08, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
 * That must have passed my notice. Restoring my old comment. If this is kept, we should disambiguate the title. Roy  boy cr ash  fan  [[Image:Flag of Texas.svg|30px]] 04:12, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep: 8 albums is enough for me. This is not a duplicate of the copyvio, and I removed the one sentence that was turning this into an ad. --Hetar 19:06, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep: An article is considered notable if, at least, it "has been featured in multiple non-trivial published works in reliable and reputable media (excludes things like school newspapers, personal blogs, etc...)" (see WP:MUSIC). Voice Male has been featured in both the Deseret News and the Salt Lake Tribune. They aren't well known outside of Utah but they definitely are here. Above all, the singing group is not promoting itself! I'm not a member, and I started the article. Keppa 20:18, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
 * By the way, I didn't realize there was also a Voice Male at Brandeis. The name should be disambiguated. Keppa 20:43, 7 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Strong keep. They've released eight albums, have their own website, and have been together 12 years. Very notable.--Primetime 20:51, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Sufficiently "notable". YellowPigNowNow 22:20, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. A websearch turned up runner-up status from CASA . CASA is real and their award should make this group notable. Combine with Keppa's assertion of news postings and I think that makes this group notable enough. -- cmh 01:47, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep I've listed a few borderliners under the music guidelines before, but this one appears to scrape through. Robdurbar 21:52, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
