Your submission at Articles for creation: CU Buffoons (August 8)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Dan arndt was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Fails WP:NMUSICIAN, appears to be primarily reliant on primary sources (the group's website and CU wensite) - sparse independent coverage. Noting Discogs is not an acceptable source.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:CU Buffoons and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

We’re working on getting some more second hand references. I’ll be honest though, there’s a fair amount of other collegiate a cappella pages with fewer and less reliable sources. I definitely want this article to be wikipedia worthy, but I think with over 60 years of history, it’s understandable that most of the coverage we’ve had would be lost at this point. Trust me, I’ve search nearly every database I can think of online and at my local library. I’d love to talk more and see what you think could be added to get us into published territory.
