[edit] Beelzebubs

Beelzebubs (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

College a cappella article which does not meet the notability requirements of WP:MUSIC or the verifiability requirements of WP:RS/WP:NOR. Claims to notability include “pioneering the contemporary a cappella sound” (cited to a blurb on a site where they sell their albums, not an independent review) and having “permanently affected the characteristics of collegiate and contemporary a cappella” (without a source). Multiple, non-trivial secondary-sources are required to establish the notability of a group. Claims from their own website are insufficient. savidan(talk) (e@) 00:28, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete for all the above reasons, and because it is all too easy for college students and alums to make wikipedia a venue for pushing the supposed "fame" of their pet organizations and causes. This is the case at many, many articles on college orgs, from a cappella groups to orchestras to newspapers to tennis teams.--Dmz5 20:05, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete - I was gonna write a big full-blown case for deletion, but realized while writing it that it sounded redundant, so I'll just agree with everyone else here on the article failing WP:MUSIC and WP:V. --Machchunk | make some noise at me 18:38, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
