Does not appear to meet WP:NSINGER. I take it criterion 1—[h]as been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself—is the only relevant criterion here. The best I could find for coverage was this, which is a history of a single church in South Carolina (and may not even be about him). The lone reference in the article does exist, but there is only a passing mention of Phillips in it. As for "What a Meeting in the Air", his best-known tune, there's this, which doesn't look like enough to me. I can't think of a good redirect or merge target, nor can I verify the claim that he was honored at the Old Fashioned Gospel Singing and Musical Convention in 1991. (And I doubt that would confer notability even if it were true.) Notability tagged since 2014. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 03:14, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete the one source is about a company started by his aunt's husband, that he eventually inherited after his wife's death. It is about the company with only passing mention of him. This is not even close to enough to show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:33, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
