 * Comment Please, note that Erwin Wolfe was known mainly as Red Wolfe. He seems to be rather a locally known musician in the Twin Cities. Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 08:10, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

• Also in 1985, St. Paul mayor George Latimer and Minneapolis mayor Don Fraser proclaimed November 16th “Red Wolfe and Percy Hughes Day” in the Twin Cities.. He certainly should meet the criteria for notability. Deacon47(talk) 
 * Comment Ervin "Red" Wolfe was very well known in the Upper Midwest. He played Jazz festivals around the country, appearing with such jazz greats as Milt Hinton, Ralph Sutton, and Clark Terry.  He brought jazz to over 100,000 students in schools around the Minneapolis area. In 1985, he was awarded a certificate of commendation from Governor Rudy Perpich for keeping jazz alive in Minnesota.
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Probably Delete My google search turned up next to nothing, and I just don't see a way that this meets WP:GNG or WP:NMUSIC. Go Phightins! (talk) 18:28, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak delete - agree with Go Phightins!; there just doesn't seem to be anything available to verify notability as per WP:GNG. Given his DOB/DOD, though, there may be off-line sources which might be of use. Would be keen to see comments/edits from some Minneapolis locals who might have greater access to off-line sources.
