Chuck Higgins

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Unreferenced BLP for almost four years. The article was not created in a suitable state, and it has not improved. The article was tagged for WP:PROD last month, but the article creator removed the tag. I agree with Claritas.  Enigma msg  01:53, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep. This article is weak and insufficiently referenced, but it appears to be substantially accurate, and the subject may be notable under the WP:MUSIC criteria. Here's |HIGGINS&sql=11:dpftxqe5ld0e~T1 Higgins' biography at Allmusic.com and a page for his albums at Amazon.com. Deletion is not the best way to deal with this article's problems. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:52, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - Would you like to to show us how this guy meets WP:GNG or WP:MUSIC with "significant coverage" in reliable sources, if it can't be shown then it is propper that this article be deleted. Codf1977 (talk) 13:15, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Delete - Unable to find any coverage due to noise when using the above find sources, however as with my comment to Metropolitan90 if they can be found will consider changing mind. Codf1977 (talk) 13:15, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Higgins's AMG profile substantiates international touring and continuing historical interest, and there have been several career retrospectives issued in the last two decades, one by the illustrious Ace Records . A minor figure, to be sure, but no less worthy of encyclopedic attention. I'm using the AMG bio to flesh this paltry article out a bit. Chubbles (talk) 14:51, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - I'm not an expert on jazz and blues so I won't vote, but I agree that this appears to be an article that is more in need of improvement rather than deletion. Unfortunately, these days on Wikipedia and AfD is probably the most useful method of bringing attention to an article that needs help. Maybe the recent and upcoming additions to the article will sway those who are in favor of deletion so far. CHUBBLES, you might want to call for assistance at the talk page for the Wikipedia Jazz Project. -- D OOMSDAYER 520  (Talk|Contribs) 18:27, 10 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment I have no problem with the article being kept if it's improved. I do not know how to go about working on such articles, and even if I did, it would take hours to take these stubs and turn them into something worthwhile. The article wallowed without sources or any content, really, for almost four years. I'm glad that it's being improved now, but it seems there's no motivation unless these articles are sent to AfD.

 * Keep given the recent improvements. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 15:49, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per Chubbles's sourcing of the article after the AFD was initiated.-- Pink Bull  20:39, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
