The result of the debate was KEEP. -Splash^talk 23:20, 5 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong Keep. For starters, the Chorallaries have a page. So do rock bands with fewer CDs and smaller fan bases. Just because a group is a cappella doesn't mean it isn't notable. Cmouse 19:20, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. No opinion. —Cryptic (talk) 22:03, 26 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as per Cmouse. Joke137 00:02, 27 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• If they're notable enough to satisfy WP:MUSIC, it's not shown in the article. No vote pending research. Barno 19:22, 27 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the criteria in WP:MUSIC don't apply to the genre of Collegiate a cappella (only criteria 6 could possibly apply) - they seem aimed for pop/rock music. Cmouse 00:19, 28 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• • • Criterion 4 (featured in a major music media) could certainly apply, although it's a shame most of them don't give at least a little space to the best in this genre. Also I occasionally see mention of a college a capella group in mainstream media; several examples of that would demonstrate noteworthiness by our general standards.

• Merge and redirect to Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This is not the Whiffenpoofs or anything. Should the MIT editors ultimately decide that it is not worthy of inclusion on that page, then the redirect should be deleted, too. Full disclosure: I am a proud Son of MIT (Course XVIII), and I bleed in cardinal and gray. All together now, in four-part harmony: Arise and raise your steins on high/Tonight shall ever be/A mem'ry that shall never die/All ye of MIT! Dpbsmith (talk) 18:24, 2 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
