The result was keep. ...presuming Scberry's rationale is towards keeping the article, combined with the nom being blocked as a sock. (non-admin closure) Lourdes 01:52, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am bring the AfD because I am not sure he meets article eligibility on his own. Notability is not inherited, and he seems to only be recognized with and/or because of others. Kellymoat (talk) 14:12, 16 July 2017 (UTC) blocked sock puppet Atlantic306 (talk) 21:03, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am relatively new to Wikipedia, so I will be keenly interested in the arguments for deletion, as I am unclear what makes this artist ineligible for inclusion. He has been a band-leader for many years, and most bluegrass musicians are primarily participants in ensembles. That, and the fact that he is cited on so many other artists' pages, are my rationales for creating the article. Thanks for reading! Scberry (talk) 13:36 16 July 2017

Keep - seems to have been around the block a few times. The very first hit in a news search describes him as "award-winning". (I wonder if he gets confused people going to gigs and saying "Play Walk on the Wild Side!") Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 10:03, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep has coverage in multiple reliable sources already in the article so passes WP:BASIC Atlantic306 (talk) 21:05, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
