The Duttons
AfDs for this article: 
 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This is one in a series of articles speedy deleted as CSD A7, regarding an entrant in the TV show America's Got Talent. DRV overturned these deletions, finding an appearance on the show constituted an assertion of notability. I considered a group listing for all of these, but decided that each entrant might have a different degree of press coverage, and have so listed separately. The argument for deletion id s a failure to meet WP:BIO. Incidentally, this particular article had a prior AfD in June, which closed as no consensus. Xoloz 05:07, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep as the Holidays with the DUttons special (and apparently one other) did air on PBS and an episode of Branson Jubilee was also devoted to them. --Dhartung | Talk 05:23, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete look at the producer credit for those PBS shows... its *GASP* The Duttons... self produced content doesnt categorize as Secondary Source now does it?  ALKIVAR &trade; &#x2622; 22:51, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Uh, look at the producer for Mission Impossible 2, it's gasp, Tom Cruise. Do you know what "producer" means? 138.210.196.190 16:33, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. For notability, the issue really is, what is the threshold on America's Got Talent for notability?  Ton ten?  Top Four?  For me, I think that top ten is enough to be considered notable.  Others obviously disagree.  For sourcing, I plan to, before the end of the day, source all three of these AGT top-ten that DRV just returned.  I will add to them performance data, fully sourced from the NBC web site.  - TexasAndroid 11:19, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

KEEP - Good Lord. They have been a headlining act in Branson for years. Have had their own PBS special. Covered in hundreds of magazine and newspapers. 138.210.196.190 16:31, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
