The Four Teens

Does not satisfy musical notability. Google search does not turn up anything, just lots of hits on four teens. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:21, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment: This is teetering on the edge of WP:NOTINHERITED, but there was significant crossover in musicians and material between this and Buddy Holly's band. I have added a couple of references to the article, and there is also this interview with Larry Welborn, e.g. around the 6:20 point. AllyD (talk) 07:46, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Does not meet notablity. Per nom. Reb1981 (talk) 02:06, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect at best to Joe B. Mauldin, the only subject connected with this band worth wikipedia notability. ShelbyMarion (talk) 17:09, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Joe B. Mauldin as per the above suggestion. I can't find anything to confirm the Grammy claim, just that the group had "regional success" with a pair of singles (the same source AllyD added to the article). There are many mentions around Google, but virtually all of them (e.g., here) serve only to briefly describe Mauldin's activities prior to joining the Crickets. Redirecting this to Mauldin's individual article, where the group is already mentioned, seems reasonable.  Gongshow   talk  03:02, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
