Keep Article didn't have any sources, but a Google Search shows significant coverage in secondary sources about him and his influence on Mississippi blues, including in newspapers, books and a 1999 PBS documentary called Boogaloo & Eden: Sustaining the Sound. I updated his article with several more citations so that it satisfies WP:GNG notability requirements for significant coverage in secondary sources. The article still needs some work, but it's alreadybeen tagged for needing additional verification and help with overall encyclopedic tone. Lonehexagon (talk) 02:18, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep There are a lot of tangential mentions of the subject, but most of the ones I can find seem to be obituaries at various outlets. Still, I'd say he just barely meets WP:GNG. PohranicniStraze (talk) 03:49, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
