The Shackshakers

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I came across this via another article up for speedy (which I deleted), which led me to this article. While the article would assert some notability via the Rockabilly Hall of Fame mention, that's really the only thing that this group has going for them. I don't know if this listing would be enough to merit a keep on this alone and I can't find anything to show that they're otherwise noteworthy. The article says that they were covered somewhere, but I can't really find these mentions to show if they were in-depth articles, brief mentions, or if all of the magazines would be usable as a RS. If anyone can find enough coverage to merit an article I'm open to closing this. In any case if it is kept then it will need some cleaning for the slightly promotional tone that was added by a COI editor. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  09:12, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
 * There is another band with a similar name, Legendary Shack Shakers, so be careful of false hits. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  09:15, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Delete - Those recognitions are probably the only thing holding the article and I searched and confirmed a few of them. A News search found results but mostly for performances and not much at Books while a browser search provided a few websites like Storm Lake Pilot Tribune and nashvillescene.com. Both highbeam and thefreelibrary found nothing and that's not surprising. SwisterTwister   talk  16:59, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
