Chad Cromwell

Questionable notability. WIkipedia article is his first hit, followed by MySpace. All other hits seem to be directory listings for albums that he's played on, or one-sentence mentions in Knopfler concert reviews.

 * Comment. As backing musicians go, he seems pretty notable. 156 Google News hits, has played on lots of well-known records, and was interviewed in Modern Drummer . Perhaps doesn't strictly meet the WP:MUSIC criteria due to lack of significant coverage of Cromwell himself, but there are plenty of sources for verification, and maybe in this case this is a subject that merits an encyclopedia article.--Michig (talk) 22:32, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep The Modern Drummer interview establishes notability per WP:BIO as far as I'm concerned, unless Modern Drummer is deemed an unreliable source.  Linguist At Large  22:37, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:16, 22 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak keep Additional sources need to establish notability. But I think if the information can be verified and sourced there's enough. ChildofMidnight (talk) 05:22, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep--From the New York Times: "especially the drummer Chad Cromwell, whose time feel suggested the perfect blend of slouch and surge." 1--Jmundo (talk) 07:31, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
