Peter Hughes (musician)[edit]

~~Article does not seem to meet notability guidelines at WP:BIO; the article does not contain reliable third-party sources that establish it's notability. CCG _(T-C) 16:55, 4 August 2008 (UTC)~~[reply]

Unless other users feel this should be deleted, I think perhaps this discussion could be closed. After a few new refs were added, and in light of some of the things pointed out by amalthea, I think maybe I was in error nominating this for deletion. I'm not sure if I can simply close the discussion or not right now as keep, so if possible, I'd like to withdraw my request to delete. Thanks, CCG _(T-C) 15:31, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:MUSIC: members of two notable bands are generally notable enough for their own article.
Peter Hughes has been or is a member of The Mountain Goats, Nothing Painted Blue and Diskothi-Q, and the first two seem to be clearly notable at first glance.
I can't find any sources to establish notability directly and think it's a close call given the questionable notability of Diskothi-Q and his rather short affiliation with Nothing Painted Blue (as I said, at first glance at least), but I think keeping the article is more useful than a redirect to The Mountain Goats. --Amalthea^Talk 23:15, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
