[edit] Stanford Mendicants

Stanford Mendicants (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable college a cappella group. Only claim to notability is an unsubstantiated claim that "membership in the group is very competitive and considered prestigious." No sources. Savidan 23:01, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete-Not notable--Joebengo 23:21, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep found 3 sources. Edison 15:07, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Since we're not talking about newspaper articles, etc. the sources alone do not demonstrate notability. Student newspapers can be used to demonstrate notability if they are being used to cite a fact which makes the group notable. Using a student newspaper to cite a anecdote does not accomplish this. 15:20, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per this lengthy article, as well as this one, which I will add as references shortly. Among the oldest collegiate a cappella groups on the West Coast. JavaTenor 17:48, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Human interests pieces in local newspapers also could establish notability, but what fact from these articles makes them notable? Savidan 14:57, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
Is it your assertion that these articles constitute "trivial" coverage or that the San Francisco Chronicle and San Jose Mercury News are unreliable sources? WP:MUSIC seems clear on what constitutes a trivial mention (and the articles presented don't fall under that category, in my opinion), but I suppose there is room for disagreement on that point. Nevertheless, the Chronicle article notes multiple international concert tours per item 3 here and that the group is among the first of its kind on the West Coast (which could qualify for item 6 or multiple items here). YMMV. JavaTenor 16:51, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
