 * Strong Keep. Here's a USA Today article documenting that the subject is a member, if not the leader, of a Grammy-winning vocal group. The group's article reports 8 Grammy wins and 20-or-so nominations, so there's no quibbling over notability. The question of whether to merge this into the group article or keep it split isn't a matter for AFD, and should wait until some folks who know something about gospel music take a crack at fixing the article, which is clearly not exemplary.

 * Notability is not inherited, see WP:NOTINHERITED. Being a member of a notable group does not make each of the members themselves notable. Aspects (talk) 02:04, 2 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep Has been noticed by the African American encyclopedia and Encyclopedia of contemporary Christian music. We should do no less. Colonel Warden (talk) 06:24, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep CW's sources are substantial and sufficient.  --joe deckertalk to me 20:49, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
