Being a prolific studio musician hasn't garnered the subject more than passing mentions in sources. Fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:38, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

*Delete although he has won two notable awards I couldn't find any substantial coverage in reliable sources on google. If good sources are found please ping me, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 17:06, 13 November 2019 (UTC) Striking delete vote as reviews have been found in reliable sources so changing to Weak keep, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 21:34, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• • I did WP:BEFORE before prodding and couldn't find any. You and two other editors seems to find sources when I can't so it's reassuring to see that you couldn't find any sources either. Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:26, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Keep. Passes criteria 8 of WP:NMUSIC per his wins of a Country Music Award and a Dove Award. There are several reviews of his music and recordings. His solo Christmas album was reviewed in Billboard. See Armoudian, Maria (August 28, 1993). '93 holiday product showcase: Deck the malls. Vol. 105. Cincinnati. p. H3, H6. ((cite book)): |work= ignored (help)CS1 maint: location missing publisher (link) See also [1], [2], [3] which are reviews that mention his contributions in other recordings. Ultimately there is just enough RS in the reviews to pass WP:SIGCOV.4meter4 (talk) 20:39, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - he seems to be much more prolific than the average bear studio musician, and has had a solo career covered to some degree in great sources such as Billboard. Bearian (talk) 16:56, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per above, has won multiple awards. Also added a couple third-party reviews of A Drummer Boy's Christmas which suggest further notability. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 04:37, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• With that change, it's safe to withdraw. Walter Görlitz (talk) 22:18, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
