 * Delete unless reliable sources can be found and the article is thoroughly cleaned up. As a two-time Iraq veteran, I can testify that appearing on a USO tour does not of itself establish notability, since many USO acts are simply small-time artists seeking publicity (i.e., they're cheap or free).  While we did occasionally get big names over there, the majority of entertainment was provided by people no one had really heard of. The reason for this is simple: most big artists simply don't want the risk of traveling in the Middle East.  --Nonstopdrivel 05:38, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. By WP:MUSIC, international tours only establish notability if they are reported in reliable sources. None are given however. Albums seem to be self-released, at least I could not find any information to the contrary. --B. Wolterding 10:09, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. as per WP:RS and WP:BAND.--Edtropolis 16:57, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as above. Needs sourcing to be viable. JJL 18:10, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
