Kelly Richey

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Not a notable musician--I cannot find a single reference that says more than she will play in this or that club. Drmies (talk) 01:42, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

 * The sources listed at http://kellyrichey.com/press.cfm are worth sifting through I think. For example, the Guitar Player article checks out; the full citation is Ellis, Andy (March 2002). "Buzz: Kelly Richey", Guitar Player 36 (3): 57–60. I'm also seeing a large amount of coverage in the The Cincinnati Post, a little in The Plain Dealer, and various other articles in media beyond Cincinnati such as Hughes, Andrew S (October 2, 2011). "Richey changes her life, renews her music", South Bend Tribune, p. D2 – which is a long article about her, not merely a concert listing. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 02:45, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that. I am not as yet convinced, but I've looked up the GP article (she gets what amounts to one full page and shares the article with two other axe slingers) and added all the relevant information to the article. It's not much, but it's certainly not nothing, I'll grant you that. Drmies (talk) 03:19, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
