The Dusty Chaps

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Only results on WorldRadioHistory.com were ads for their label and passing mentions in the context of other works. All of the hits on Newspapers.com were sporadic local coverage in Tucson's newspaper. None of the albums charted, nor did any of the singles.

 * Keep The Chaps were a band of note in the Southwest in their time, on their own and as an influence on others. Still performing occasionally. They were chosen for the first Route 66 anthology for good reason. The article does need a good bit of fleshing out, with good references.

 * Liking them is not a reason to keep. I just pointed out that there are no good references because they so thoroughly slipped under the radar. The coverage I found from the Tucson paper is just routine "this band is performing at this spot" coverage. Literally zero coverage in any other state. None of the major music magazines of the day gave them so much as a passing mention, save for ads by their label. None of that is reliable coverage.

 * I'm not here to bicker. I'm here to suggest keep, for the reasons I gave. I saw what you had written, and as you see above, I said nothing about liking/not liking. I did say that the article needed fleshing out, with good references (obviously, there's a huge chasm between "I haven't found" good references and "there are no" good references). Paciencia.

 * Keep. Here are some other sources towards meeting WP:SIGCOV:, , , , etc. There's likely offline reviews in Billboard, Variety, Rolling Stones, etc.4meter4 (talk) 23:01, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

 * so are you going to add them? Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 00:09, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Not at the moment. I have other projects I'm more interested in at present. Feel free to add any sources I posted here.4meter4 (talk) 00:14, 24 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Comments: I am having a problem with general notability considering WP:BAND. I ran across one source that states Domino Joe ranked 27,597. Almost close to the top but which "one" of the criteria (of 12) does it pass? --  Otr500 (talk) 03:33, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid I don't understand the question re Domino Joe. But of the Criteria for musicians and ensembles, they satisfy 1, 5, 7, and 10 that I know of. Barefoot through the chollas (talk) 04:15, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep - meets NMUSIC#5, with two albums on a MAJOR label. SIGCOV in independent, reliable, sources (Have Not Been The Same), Billboard reviewed an album, and newspaper coverage not local to Tuscon , , , , .  This was just skimming the top of non-Tuscon articles at newspapers.com. Clearly meets GNG.  78.26  (spin me / revolutions) 16:57, 24 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Comment - I consider Ten Pound Hammer to be an expert on country, but I think the Billboard review is a step in the right direction. I agree that most of the newspaper sources (that I can view) are from AZ. The 1983 Rolling Stone Record Guide indicates that the Dusty Chaps were reviewed in the previous guide (maybe 1979?), so perhaps there are some things from actual 1970s Rolling Stones as well...
