Cayuga's Waiters

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Another in a long line of non-notable college a capella groups. Completely fails WP:GNG, as it has no substantial coverage in third party sources--the only sources are WP:SELFPUB. Nor does it pass any of the WP:MUSIC criteria. Wikipedia:No one cares about your college a capella club. GrapedApe (talk) 13:18, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Unlike many a capella articles about recently-founded groups, this appears to be a longstanding notable group. Apparently equivalent to The Whiffenpoofs[1], oldest group, biggest reputation, etc., even bigger than Here Comes Treble, which is the extent of my Ivy League a capella knowledge.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 19:21, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- That article merely makes a comparison that they are both a capella groups, not that Cayuga's Waiters is as well-known as the actually famous Whiffenpoofs. Also, you do realize that you just referred to a fictional group, right? How exactly does that show notability of Cayuga's Waiters?--GrapedApe (talk) 20:01, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. This article has very few sources, none of which are independent of the group or its university. Cornell has so many a cappella groups that they have actually formed a council to coordinate their activities. And unlike The Whiffenpoofs, there is no indication that this group's theme song has been recorded by anyone as famous as Bing Crosby, Elvis Presley, or Count Basie, nor performed in a film by anyone like Cary Grant or Ginger Rogers. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:30, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
