Sean Patrick McGraw[edit]

Only claim to fame is a self-released CD, a host of red link awards, and (not mentioned) a spot on Nashville Star. Seems borderline, but doesn't quite pass WP:MUSIC. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 18:51, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - Some notability can be ascertained from quite a few Google News hits, many of which are of reasonable quality. -- Scjessey (talk) 20:31, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

He's gotten some media attention, and is notable enough to have an article. He did get signed to a record deal with Little Engine Records, and we just need to try to create some articles on his albums or something. That's all i can say for now. Ryanbstevens (talk) 23:03, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I have to agree with the nominator. He hasn't charted an album or single, not a major label, not nominated/won an important award (Grammy, etc.). Maybe some other time, but right now, I'm on the fence. EnDaLeCoMpLeX (talk) 20:56, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I did the best i can on this article, and it shouldn't be deleted just for not being good enough. What if we were to delete this article, and then about a week later he appears on the charts? How hard do you expect an article to be worked on before it can be considered good enough? We're all just human beings, and not robots! Do do, do do de doo! Respond: Please don't delete this article! Message over. Be boo boo bop! Ryanbstevens (talk) 02:33, 20 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete just doesn't seem notable at the moment. --Caldorwards4 (talk) 04:19, 20 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Considering he is touring as the opening act with Toby Keith and Trace Adkins, he has some notability. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.164.35.210 (talk) 06:53, 20 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

He has a video that aired on CMT Pure Country. We have articles on artists that haven't charted a single, and deleting this article is just not really the best way to go, especially if the artist has been signed to a label (size doesn't matter), and has at least one music video aired, which is the video for "Dollar Ain't Worth a Dime". Again, this article does not deserve to be deleted. The way that this article is being criticized, we should rename Wikipedia: The free encyclopedia to Cruelopedia: The cruel encyclopedia, no offense, as i actually like being on Wikipedia, but some of the rules just seem a little ridiculous. Anyway, what i'm trying to say here is keep this article. He does have some notability. He may not have been notable earlier this year, but he has been signed to a label, and so that means that we should keep this article. Ryanbstevens (talk) 08:38, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Since the nomination, a couple sources have been added. I'm still not very convinced on the notability, but it's just barely a weak keep to me now. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 20:48, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
