Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Contemporary A Cappella Society
I'd argue that  is the incorrect category in which to determine notability for this entry, as CASA is neither a musician, musical ensemble, composer, or lyricist, but rather a community organization, similar to the Barbershop Harmony Society.  CASA and CASA's programs have been instrumental in the advancement and growth of the genre.  The CARA awards are the primary arbiter of success in recorded a cappella (witness the number of groups, student publications, etc. proudly displaying their nominations and/or awards in http://www.google.com/search?q=cara+a+cappella this search); the CASA website publishes articles, commentaries, and blogs from notable figures in the field; the CASA songbooks are invaluable in assisting new groups in getting off the ground. Contemporary a cappella is clearly a niche genre at this time, but CASA is the central organization contributing to its growth and advancement
