Drew Gress

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails WP:NMUSICIAN. Only in-depth piece on him that I have found is the AllMusic review, but a single source does not satisfy the "multiple" part of "multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself", which is adapted from WP:GNG. There are mentions that he exists in The Guardian and the New York Times etc., but they are trivial at best and lack the depth/significance of coverage required by WP:GNG.

 * Keep (Author) In addition to the Allmusic profile, Gress has an entry in The New Grove Dictionary of Jazz, the most authoritative encyclopedia on the subject of jazz. (A preview of a mirror of the entry can be seen here.) I see no reason why we would not want an encyclopedia article on a subject that has already been found encyclopedia-worthy by subject experts. Meets WP:MUSIC. Chubbles (talk) 22:43, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
 * There's no such thing as an infallible source or infallible "experts" who must be obeyed all the time. Perfection doesn't exist and never will.


 * Keep based on sources found and identified above. Alansohn (talk) 01:59, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: I have extended the article and it now carries inline references to the bylined biographical articles in both Grove and Allmusic as well as some newspaper critical coverage. All of these contribute to demonstrating notability. AllyD (talk) 09:16, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep GNG met. Not all sources are equal, an inclusion in Grove is a very high indication of notability, in my opinion.  A search of newspapers.com also yields coverage, I will be linking clips that can be added.   78.26  (spin me / revolutions) 16:16, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. Meets WP:NMUSICIAN #1. Biographies at AllMusic and Grove, plus other sources on the page (I've added some info from the last Penguin Guide, where he has his own entry). A multitude of reviews, etc is available in specialist magazines. EddieHugh (talk) 19:10, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
