Amalgamates

The last nomination was discussed in 2006 and since then the criteria under WP:MUSIC have become stricter. In that context, the page does not list sufficient reliable sources or indicated notability. The long list of awards is inflated, the organisation that awards them (the Contemporary A Cappella Society) appears to be closely linked to the group. The overriding sense from the article is that this constitutes a college choir with little national profile, no chart success nor any international touring commitments.

Weak keep per WP:BAND, which says that"Musicians or ensembles ... may be notable if ... [they have] won first, second or third place in a major music competition." This article lists multiple first-place finishes at the Contemporary A Cappella Recording Awards. Personally, I don't think that the standards at WP:NMUSIC are strict enough, but the guideline apparently reflects community consensus, so I feel compelled to vote "keep." -- Notecardforfree (talk) 03:02, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Not notable. The completion is not major. No other criteria are met. duffbeerforme (talk) 10:15, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The competition is not notable enough to justify keeping this otherwise non-notable group. -- Dane2007 ^talk 14:09, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
