You have an obvious conflict of interest, please don't write about yourself, your friends or relatives and read the guidance below:

When you write about a person, you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that they meet the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the person or an associated organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the person claims or interviewing them. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls.
 * Your text had only three references, all to sites closely associated with him, rather than independent third-party sources.


 * You claim that he is notable because of "Bluegrass music #1 charts" but there is no mention of that in the deleted text, which would require an independent reference anyway.


 * You claim that he is notable because he will be "inducted into the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame", but the source of that claim is his record company, not the Hall of Fame. It's not clear in any case whether that meets the music notability guidelines, especially as the Hall of Fame appears not to be notable enough to have its own article, but if you make the claim, you need it to be sourced to the awarding body, not his own record company

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. If you are writing about yourself, or someone you know as a friend, colleague, client, employer or relative, you have a conflict of interest, and you must disclose the nature of that COI.

If you can also assure me that you can find independent references for your claims, and clarify why you think he is notable as defined above, I'll look again at restoring. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:55, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
