Ed Wool

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Article in no way asserts notability of subject; many artists have recorded with several bands on multiple major record labels. Being from the Northeast U.S./Capital Region (Albany, NY) in itself is not notable. Being mentioned in the book "Fuzz, Acid, and Flowers" by Vernon Joynson does not make a band or artist inherently notable (the book has hundreds of such listings). No additional citations or references point to his importance in the canon of American music (in fact, the article is noticeably lacking in inline citations, contains possible original research and is also an orphan).

 * Delete; seems to fail the GNG. bobrayner (talk) 22:45, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep – He appears to have been part of several semi-successful bands. There is significant coverage in the Watertown Daily Times, which is local, but one of the articles was distributed nationally by McClatchy - Tribune Business News (3 October 2011). There is coverage in Allmusic here. I also found brief mentions of Ed Wool and the Nomads opening for the Rolling Stones at a War Memorial concert in Syracuse New York . ("60 years of fun: War Memorial offerings enriched the regions culture", The Post - Standard [Syracuse, N.Y] 02 Feb 2012: A13; and "As years roll by: The Rolling Stones snared plenty of life-long fans at their 1966 concert here." Mark Bialczak Staff Writer. Syracuse Herald American [Syracuse, N.Y] 04 Jan 1998: 16). It doesn't add up to huge notability, but notability enough for WP:BAND criterion #1.
