8 Ball Aitken

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Claims a couple chart singles, but according to discussion at Talk:2009 in country music and WP:BADCHARTS, the Aussie country charts don't count. The sources are either primary or trivial mentions, and no non-trivial mentions were found. Claims notability with a couple awards which do not appear to be from major associations (almost no hits for either association!); claims a couple albums but they're on non notable labels.

 * Comment Golden Guitars appear to me to be significant in country music in Australia. Better wikipedia coverage of the awards are needed. Duffbeerforme (talk) 14:06, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
