Alvin Fields

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

A quick glance at the Google Books and Google News archive results gives an impression of notability, but on looking through them it is apparent that the ones that mention this Alvin Fields only have name checks, rather than any significant coverage, and I can't see any evidence that this songwriter/singer/actor passes any of the requirements of WP:MUSIC or WP:CREATIVE - he seems to have worked with plenty of notable people but not quite to have achieved notability himself.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
 * Delete. Agree with the nom. Found one gnews hit that mentions him in passing. There are a couple of other reviews from the same show but their is a fee to read the articles (the blurb for the Providence Journal reviews says: "The lead singers were hardly credible rockers - Alvin Fields sounded like he was in a hotel lounge" which doesn't help the case). His only mention on Allmusic is for his album Special Delivery and it only has a tracklist and credits.  The credits do list Whitney and Cissy Houston but only as background singers, Herb Alpert is not listed in the credits but the article links him to the album. Apparently he has had his songs appear in a few movies but can't find any more information. J04n(talk page) 11:51, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
