Deletion of Emocapella

Comment: Just because The GW Hatchet is an "independent" newspaper does not mean that it meets the "independent" standard needed for Wikipedia references. As the group is part of the university, the press received "from" the university newspaper would not be considered independent. Again, I found the MTV.com article which is a good article and the Entertainment Weekly article is good, but still need more to meet . Also, references do not support the content which is also misleading. Being "featured in several major publications" is no where close to the truth of the brief mention in Spin Magazine. That paragraph stinks of notability masking

Comment: per , criterion #1: "Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself." This group has been the subject of articles on http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1496327/emo-cappella-group-gets-girls.jhtml MTV.com and http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,396755,00.html Entertainment Weekly's web site. These are legitimately articles about this group, not just incidental mentions of them. They also got a one-paragraph item in http://books.google.com.fj/books?id=nCou4cnn-ZkC&pg=PA34&dq=%22Emocapella%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=LhpiUbiZBbCOiAezqIHoCQ&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=%22Emocapella%22&f=false Spin magazine. I tend to be skeptical of the notability of college a cappella groups, but it looks like this group makes it over the notability threshold

Comment: The topic passes  as it has "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." It also passes  using criteria #1: it "has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent".  criteria #1 includes "articles in a school or university newspaper", such as ''The GW Hatchet''.  Indeed, a ''Hatchet'' article mentions some of the group's press appearances. Many of the group's press appearances are listed in the WP article as sources
