Self-produced musician fails WP:MUSIC with minimal coverage from secondary sources. Awards are from non-notable groups. Blackguard 05:20, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep - he's an Australian Country Music hands of fame and New Zealand country music hands of fame inductee, which is quite notable - there are only about a dozen people who have achieved recognition in both countries in this way, and the majority of the others have articles. Though only two albums are listed, it appears he has recorded about a dozen, several of them released on small independent labels like Tabbita (not self-produced). Seems to have had numerous singles on the Australian Country Music Charts. The article needs considerable rewriting, and WP:MUSIC is barely scraped, but he might just qualify - he does just about reach criterion 1 with this and this. Grutness...wha? 11:40, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep without prejudice against a future AfD. I think the best course for the article right now is to retain and improve it. If six months go by and we can't get something more solid, then let's revisit AfD. —C.Fred (talk) 17:18, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
