 * Keep It needs work, but there was a lot of coverage of him and Daisy Debolt . I've added several of these to the article. He also has two recordings on Columbia Records (original catalogue #s added to the article). In a review of another singer, New York Magazine wrote: "There aren't many groups that can open a set with a tune from the book of Fraser and DeBolt, the legendary Montreal duo" It passes on the 2 records for a major label alone, but there's plenty of coverage as well - Voceditenore (talk) 19:23, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:MUSICBIO and WP:HEY. He recorded albums with Columbia Records, which in its heyday on the 1960s was one of the three biggest rock and roll producers (along with Arista Records and Motown Records).  His touring throughout North America also indicates his notability.  Furthermore, he work was reviewed in major publications.  I prefer in-line citations, but the additionally found sources look good at first glance. Bearian (talk) 22:38, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge to Fraser & DeBolt, seems to be the only notable aspect. Shadowjams (talk) 07:22, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect to Fraser & DeBolt as article fails WP:BAND. Armbrust  Talk  Contribs  18:40, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Can you please explain why this should be deleted and redirected rather than merged and redirected? There is information about him (and references) that are not currently in Fraser & DeBolt. Voceditenore (talk) 22:00, 20 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep per the coverage noted above, plus his songs have been recorded by other notable artists (I added one citation), and I added a citation to a story from the Montreal Gazette about him and his daughter (another singer-songwriter). Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 03:08, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
