The result was keep. Sufficient coverage appears to have been shown to meet WP:BASIC. RL0919 (talk) 05:41, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

This article has been around for over 10 years and in all that time no WP:RS have appeared to back up this pianist's notability outside LDS circles. There is a Spanish article with similarly bad referencing (LDS, Amazon and AllMusic), and a French one with nothing. Doesn't seem to satisfy WP:MUSICBIO or WP:NALBUM, unless we consider his collaboration with Country star Billy Dean, attributed to this one of three local mentions in the Florida Panhandle. It seems that it does meet WP:PROMO though. StonyBrook (talk) 01:18, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep I see coverage in state-level publications (e.g., 1 2 3 ) as well as local/regional news ( 4 5 ). Marvin just gets over the line for notability per WP:BASIC. FOARP (talk) 07:49, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment If this is going to stay, page has to be improved. More sources added. Otherwise delete. MaskedSinger (talk) 09:33, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete I just checked on the one reference in question and it doesn't load so in current form, there's no choice but to delete. Can't have the page written without a single source. Get some sources and this could change. MaskedSinger (talk) 09:35, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
 * The present state of the page is not the issue at question. What matters per WP:NEXIST is whether the subject is notable at all - independent of the state of referencing on the page. FOARP (talk) 09:59, 5 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep Meets WP:BASIC. I have added some sources to the article, which could still use some work, but there are certainly reviews of his concerts and articles about him. RebeccaGreen (talk) 13:14, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep as multiple references to significant coverage in reliable sources have been identified and added to the article so that it clearly passes WP:GNG and deserves to be kept in the encyclopedia Atlantic306 (talk) 16:26, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep we have enough coverage to justify keeping the article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:28, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - lack of reliable third-party coverage, which is one of the key requirements for WP:GNG. If this was a biography of a religious figure than it would be a different story, but for a minor musician much stronger coverage is need to ensure encyclopedic quality. Inter&#38;anthro (talk) 00:08, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. With multiple independent sources having been added, the subject passes WP:BASIC. Rollidan (talk) 20:21, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
