Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to A cappella. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

We determined that your edits were promotional, because you included an external link to the official website of a contemporary a cappella group. You must understand that we do not enjoy seeing new accounts coming just to promote a band or a video or something. I don't know what inspired you to make the link to the official website, but that will not be acceptable here.

As far as your discussion of Pentatonix and their instrumentation, it is interesting, to be sure, but you haven't provided a reliable secondary source giving that analysis. We'd need to see an article or a scholarly paper or book about the subject first. To apply your own analysis would be original research, which is also not acceptable here on Wikipedia. Thanks!

The threshold for including an article in Wikipedia is notability. If this group you like is notable, they may be able to have an article written. If not, then I would have doubts about including them in the a cappella article. Notability isn't strictly required for a mention like this, but it helps, and it helps keep lists from growing long and unmanageable.

A professional voice coach's analysis would be acceptable, as long as it is reliably published. If the coach has a WordPress blog or a YouTube channel, that's not good enough. If the coach has scholarly credentials and is on faculty at a four-year university and has published peer-reviewed articles in a journal, then that's the best you could ask for. Does that help?
