[edit] Stanford Mendicants
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)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached
