Non-notable musician. Claims notability for working with other notable names, but WP:NOTINHERITED is in play. Inducted into a hall of fame that does not seem notable on its own. Has written songs but no claim to notability for the songs. Only one album released independently in 1988. Sources are entirely local coverage from his hometown, or the non-notable hall of fame into which he was inducted. Made a few appearances on RFD TV on a show that doesn't even have its own page. His son, Jamie Teachenor, also had his article deleted for lack of notability. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 00:56, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

  • Delete Agree with nom, notability was not demonstrated, sourcing is inadequate, and large parts of the article are unsourced. I would not be surprised if there were COI editing going on here (the main contributor has eight times as many edits here as on any other page). Toadspike (talk) 05:13, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
