I object to the deletion of this page. The individual is noteworthy because he is a part of two bands that are inducted into the Texas Gospel Music Hall Of Fame. This fact is documented and without question. He has a lengthy discography that is also documented. The only serious objections I can find in these discussions is a lack of newspaper articles in citation. The Internet, as we know it, did not exist at the time; consequently, most articles are on microfilm but not accessible via the Internet. He is clearly listed on the albums, in name and by photos, and various articles have been posted in reference to the band, including recognition by the National Academy Of Recording Arts and Sciences as being a finalist for the 1979 Grammy Award (Mercy River Boys). In time, more information from microfilm may be available to cite. I have been in contact with a former band member regarding an upcoming book that is in print. I am not an experienced Wikipedia editor but I am a professional historian. I believe this individual is deserving of this recognition and that is why I created the page. Others may disagree, that’s ok but others who are far less noteworthy are listed on this site. Our purpose should be to catalogue those people who achieve success in their respective fields or endeavors. One would think anyone inducted into the Texas Gospel Music Hall Of Fame would be noteworthy? JMA1984 — Preceding unsigned comment added by JMA1984 (talk • contribs) 15:11, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
