 * Keep: Has been the subject of (many, many) multiple reliable publications, especially with his recent death. (Also, look up "Eddy" with an "y', which some sources use). I question if a WP:BEFORE search was done. Why? I Ask (talk) 18:13, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep - Country Boy Eddie was absent from Wikipedia until a few days ago, when someone newly created the article in reaction to his recent death. He should have had an article all along. In addition to many current news stories about his passing, which provide robust biographical info, he can also be found very easily in a Google Books search, as older books covered his radio/TV show when it was current. He is also mentioned often in histories of country music, as his show helped launch the careers of Tammy Wynette and Dolly Parton. The article needs expansion, not deletion. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 18:37, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep The article popped up due to a related link and I was baffled as to why it was up for deletion. Looking at the claim being made, the article provides the in-depth reliable and verifiable sources needed to establish notability. Alansohn (talk) 20:39, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
