The article might have large portion of it copied from a website (see tags), it has a promotional tone, and the same article has been deleted before recently and has been recreated without much alteration.  Kinkreet ~&#9829;moshi moshi&#9829;~ 15:30, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Possible keep or redirect to Red Thunder (musical group) - I found a minor mention here as a courtesy acknowledgement for one of his songs. One of the many articles I have found this which mentions he was a friend of Dennis Hooper and performed with musicians such as Paul Butterfield, Bob Dylan, Rick Danko and and also mentions his background and early influences. This article also mentions that he was the president and co-founder of Native Children's Survival which a separate Google News search provided several results as did a search for Dennis Hopper here, though some of these results are the same. This Los Angeles Times article from 1994 also talks other artists who have performed with him. In that article as well as this (also talks about his background) he speaks about Hollywood impeding on Native American culture and also mentions his group's debut EP sold out 10,000 copies. It seems he is still active with a minor mention here. For the group, I found this which talks about the history and, if you scroll to the following page, there is a photo where he is performing with Bonnie Raitt. I also found this in which he donated electric guitars to students. I also found this which mentions his association with Red Thunder, Native Children's Survival and producing a film, America's Last Frontier. What makes me lean towards keep is this which suggests one of his other films, Hidden Medicine, was shown at the 1999 Sundance Film Festival and I found news coverage. Two different searches "Robby Romero Eagle Thunder" here and "Robby Romero Paul Butterfield" here found some of the same results as earlier searches. I also found this which honoured him for "his role in raising awareness for the school through his music which led to construction funds for Sacred Hoop School (Cangleska Wakan Owayawa) in Oglala, South Dakota". Although I would like to have found more relevant and significant coverage for the musicians he has performed with, I believe this may improve the article to a notable level. Yes, he has received a lot of this attention through his group but some of these articles are specifically for him such as the last one I provided. That same article also mentioned his song, "Heartbeat" received significant attention on radio and TV in Europe. One thing is certain though, he has not been ignored including by his native people. I know this article has been relisted twice but I would like to hear from other users if they agree. SwisterTwister   talk  21:36, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
