Matt Hubbard (musician)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable musician lacking GHits and GNEWS of substance. Appears to fail WP:BIO and WP:MUSIC.  ttonyb (talk) 03:19, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

There is no reason for this article to be deleted and I have no idea why it keeps getting tagged as such. The only places where Hubbard is mentioned in wikipedia are on one of Willie Nelsons albums and the 7 Walkers page. There is plenty of unique information in Hubbard's article relating to other musicians/bands he has recorded with as well as a little bit of his musical background. All of this information is supported by two sources.Sk8punk3d288 (talk) 03:24, 21 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, the lack of information in Wikipedia is not a criteria for inclusion. All articles on Wikipedia must be meet specific criteria for inclusion.  In this case the criteria is defined in WP:BIO and/or [WP:MUSIC]].  The criteria needs to be demonstrated using reliable sources.   ttonyb  (talk) 03:27, 21 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep -- Per WP:BIO, "A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." WP:MUSICBIO expands on this somewhat for musicians and bands, but the basic concept is the same.  It doesn't matter how worthwhile the subject is, or how little coverage he or she currently has on Wikipedia, the musician must meet the criteria for notability.  The article as originally written did not have any references that established that Matt Hubbard meets these criteria.  However, I have added some references that show that Hubbard does indeed meet the notability criteria. — Mudwater (Talk) 04:33, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
