Gary Foote

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Here's a tricky one. The unsourced article was originally about Foote the British saxophone player. Someone tried to speedy delete it, but then found info about Gary Foote the US bass player (with Smokey Robinson/Blood, Sweat and Tears), thought they were the same person and decided against deletion. I've removed the info about the American bass player. We are left with a 2 line, unsourced stub. It is not in dispute that (UK) Gary Foote plays with Pentangle, but there is no evidence they have released a notable single or album on which Foote contributed. As such, considering the stub has been awaiting sources for almost 4 years, I think it should go. Sionk (talk) 18:37, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep I agree this one is tricky, especially with the repeating attempts by User:Ydanese to hijack the article. However, I believe the British Gary Foote is notable due to the many credits he lists here (among them Pentangle's Feoffees' Lands). Indeed, none of them is very notable (only one I could find has a Wikipedia article), but I think they add up to notability. --Muhandes (talk) 20:30, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
