Talk:Johnny Jones and the King Casuals

New source
There is a four-page article on The King Kasuals [sic] in the April 2021 issue of Record Collector magazine. I suspect that there may be enough well-sourced detail in that to un-merge (is that a word?) this article, though clearly it would not exist were it not for the Hendrix connection. Any thoughts?

 * I did notice that the two mentions of that band in the Hendrix article, does spell the name as the King Kasuals. But I am not well acquainted with Hendrix's career, nor have access to the Record Collector, so can not really comment further. - Derek R Bullamore (talk) 21:01, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Pinging . Starting from this, sources such as RC could be added - also this book excerpt.  But I won't bother doing that if it's going to be merged again.  WP:NMG suggests that two "notable" members should be included - Hendrix and Billy Cox ensure it passes that threshold, and Jimmy Church, who sang with the band, might also meet the criteria.

 * The Jimi Hendrix Experience was redirected to the Hendrix article section after this discussion. The same may apply to KK – there is not much to say about them that cannot be covered in the main Hendrix article. I don't have access to the RC article (author?), but the Windle book appears to be self-published (Blurb, Inc.) and googlebooks only shows one other Blurb book by him. His name doesn't appear in Hendrix bios, so he probably doesn't meet WP:SPS, i.e., not "produced by an established subject-matter expert, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable, independent publications." That said, Roby's Becoming Jimi Hendrix has some info (only cited once in the "Early years" article section). Maybe  and  have something to add. —Ojorojo (talk) 14:00, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I think the status quo is preferable. As Ghmyrtle says, "clearly it would not exist were it not for the Hendrix connection", so I think WP:BIO1E is appropriate here. Similar examples would be 1984, The Sceptres, The Warlocks and The Beachcombers. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  14:07, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
 * OK, though I think there are plenty of examples of predecessor bands with articles. I've only just realised that the RC article author and the book author are one and the same.  I'll see whether to go through the old article here, and the RC article, to identify if there is any useful and authoritative info that can be added to the Hendrix article.
