Being a prolific studio musician hasn't garnered the subject more than passing mentions in sources. Fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:38, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

*Delete although he has won two notable awards I couldn't find any substantial coverage in reliable sources on google. If good sources are found please ping me, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 17:06, 13 November 2019 (UTC) Striking delete vote as reviews have been found in reliable sources so changing to Weak keep, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 21:34, 26 November 2019 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * I did WP:BEFORE before prodding and couldn't find any. You and two other editors seems to find sources when I can't so it's reassuring to see that you couldn't find any sources either. Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:26, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep. Passes criteria 8 of WP:NMUSIC per his wins of a Country Music Award and a Dove Award. There are several reviews of his music and recordings. His solo Christmas album was reviewed in Billboard. See See also, ,  which are reviews that mention his contributions in other recordings. Ultimately there is just enough RS in the reviews to pass WP:SIGCOV.4meter4 (talk) 20:39, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep - he seems to be much more prolific than the average bear studio musician, and has had a solo career covered to some degree in great sources such as Billboard. Bearian (talk) 16:56, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep per above, has won multiple awards. Also added a couple third-party reviews of A Drummer Boy's Christmas which suggest further notability. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 04:37, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
 * With that change, it's safe to withdraw. Walter Görlitz (talk) 22:18, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
