Not independently notable. Article unreferenced since 2008, and I could not find any significant coverage in a search. I actually think the article should be redirected to his band, the Georgia Satellites, but I am seeking community input rather than just doing it. MelanieN (talk) 15:01, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep and expand (and reference) the article. He does have some claim to fame apart from the Georgia Satellites connection, performing on Izzy Stradlin and the Ju Ju Hounds (album) for example. Andrewa (talk) 21:21, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

 *Keep Found three sources, added as external links. They need to be incorporated into inline citations. -- Hillbillyholiday talk 15:12, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Looks to me like you added TWO sources, am I mistaken? The one from SPIN is about the Georgia Satellites and only incidentally about Richards. The one from Musician shows me only snippets, so I can't tell if it is about him or how significant it is. I still don't see significant coverage about HIM, except as part of the Georgia Satellites. I remain open to changing my mind if anyone can find significant coverage by multiple independent reliable sources. --MelanieN (talk) 15:45, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
 * My mistake, you're quite right on both counts. On consideration a merger might be more appropriate.


 * Merge -- Hillbillyholiday talk 15:56, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Redirect to The Georgia Satellites, doesn't appear to be significant content to merge. - The Bushranger One ping only 07:16, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
