 * Delete - My initial reaction was that Wikipedia's goot coverage was too skimpy and we needed the goot article no matter what. We also need a article on The Gooch, but that's for another discussion. The Goot is mentioned in an October 2008 San Antonio Express-News news article, "Goot, Swimming with Dolphins The Warhol Goot is singing songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Alex Goot out of Poughkeepsie, N.Y., who crafts pop music that rocks," so he's been around for a while. There's some bio information in this July 30, 2011 article. There's about 30 articles mentioning where Goot will be playing. His Youtube status is mentioned in September 8, 2011. The Goot is mentioned in March 28, 2012. As a last news mention, he's listed as number 5 on the Billboard September 15, 2012 "Next big sound." However, on reviewing the available information, there isn't enough source material from which to write a Wikiipedia article that meets WP:GNG. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 03:15, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - Being an unsigned artist who hasn't had any songs that charted, it's quite doubtful that Goot will receive the significant coverage required to write a good biography about him. I enjoy his music, but sources just don't exist, and it pains me to !vote no on this AfD and urge anyone who has a source please provide it or expand the article based upon it.
