 * Keep - This appears to be a very important musician in the psychobilly genre. In addition to the reliable source the nom mentioned, Bass Frontiers Magazine did an in-depth piece on him which includes significant biographical content plus an interview.. Other coverage already in the article can arguable count like the Rich Mullins podcast which is very in-depth on him.  --Oakshade (talk) 21:09, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep - I just added more credible references to this page, links to relating wiki pages, and also polished up the text to make it more professional. Mark was a central member in A Raggamuffin band, the band of Rich Mullins, one of CCM’s most famous artists. All the other band members on the wiki page “A Raggamuffin Band” have their own wiki page, so it’s only fitting that he keep his wiki page. Mark’s page was created in 2010 and it wasn’t ever proposed for deletion until now. He was also part of This Train, which was the opening band for Rich Mullins’ tours, he sang lead vocals on a song from Rich Mullins’ last album “The Jesus Record”, he both produced and performed on Rich Mullins’ “Canticle of the Plains” album, as well as Mitch McVicker’s Without Looking Down, all of which would be considered notable accomplishments. And all of which have references on his wiki page. Sethowens (talk) 04:07, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

 *  Keep or redirect - Keep, or redirect to Legendary Shack Shakers as a plausible search term. --Jax 0677 (talk) 18:08, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep thanks to recent improvements, and in agreement with above. I suspect that the article simply needed better sources at the time of the AfD, and the nominator could have given it chance with an edit tag instead. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 19:57, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
