Steve Fox (musician)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Unsourced and non-notable. No WP:RS that I can find. — Iadmc  ♫ talk  09:48, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Withdraw as the article is not what it was when nominated and is well sourced and written— Iadmc  ♫ talk  11:58, 10 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Bands and musicians,  and Canada. —  Iadmc  ♫ talk  09:48, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment: The charted singles help with notability, but this was in the pre-internet era, have to dig around the archives to find sourcing... Oaktree b (talk) 14:11, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete : Didn't chart high enough to get critical attention here in Canada, tried several newspaper archives and there is nothing about this person. Nothing in the Wikipedia Library either. Oaktree b (talk) 14:15, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment. Added an article (from ProQuest) that had information about Steve Fox which suggests there may be more coverage to be found. Steve Fox is a tough name to search for. Cielquiparle (talk) 06:20, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * There appear to be several musicians of this name. One from the Japanese band the Godiegos who might not be the same person but appears at the top of the Google search. — Iadmc  ♫ talk  08:32, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep as it meets WP:GNG, WP:CREATIVE and WP:HEY. Article when it was nominated was an unreferenced BLP, but we have now added several articles that focus on award-winning Nashville-based Canadian country music singer-songwriter Steve Fox, who has been the focus of local Canadian newspaper articles such as "Coquitlam's Steve Fox making a name in Nashville" and "Writing his ticket; Steve Fox's songs have made it big, now it's his turn", and was often mentioned in Billboard magazine and other industry magazines about Canadian expats in Nashville. There are 200+ hits on ProQuest when you search for "Steve Fox" "songwriter", and not all of them are worth adding to his article, but it strongly suggests the article can be easily expanded and improved further where we have "citation needed" tags, which is important per WP:BLP.  Pinging for reconsideration. Cielquiparle (talk) 09:48, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Your edits are most welcome! I may now consider withdrawing the nomination if no one objects — Iadmc  ♫ talk  09:52, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks @Iadmc. Technically we need @Oaktree b to agree and change their !vote in order to be able to withdraw; otherwise it needs to run the full week, but your willingness to withdraw certainly counts for something and is appreciated. Cielquiparle (talk) 09:55, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes. I tried to source the cn tags to no avail but he may yet be written up in a Canadian music journal or somesuch which would help — Iadmc  ♫ talk  10:07, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * @Iadmc No doubt you qualify for Wikipedia Library so for sure log in (it's improved a lot since it was first launched) and take a look at ProQuest – I was able to search on one of the song names and immediately found three more articles. Cielquiparle (talk) 10:52, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I tried ProQuest but need to be logged in. I'll try it out though — Iadmc  ♫ talk  11:12, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * @Iadmc Right. First you log in to Wikipedia Library, and then you look for ProQuest on the main splash page, and then you connect from there for access via Wikipedia Library. Cielquiparle (talk) 11:25, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks I'm in! — Iadmc  ♫ talk  11:48, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep with the sources above, we have enough for musical notability. I've adjusted my !vote. Oaktree b (talk) 11:54, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
