Previously deleted via PROD with the concern "Wikipedia is not an obituary provider for non-notable musicians." Having reviewed the article and the sourcing again, that is still my concern, so I'm bringing it here for the community to decide. TonyBallioni (talk) 17:44, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom: very few Google hits for either his professional name or his given name. A clear example of NOTOBITUARY ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 19:05, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete non notable artist and didn't meet basic WP:GNG for lack of wide coverage and neither meet specific WP:MUSICBIO. It seems just the biography from his website was paraphrased here without much input from Independent sources &thinsp;&mdash; Ammarpad (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:36, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi, During the most of his life Vince Gordon primary use his band name: The Jime - if you google that, you will find a lost of hits on Google. When he had his first blotshot at the age of 42 he had to cancel tours to Japan, Australia, UK, Italy among others. Doing he last 9 years he really became an expert on rockabillyguitars and is cited in many books. For the moment his page: Vince-Gordon is under reconstruction with timelines and other things about Vince Gordon. You can also look at gretsch-talk.com  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rosdahl-2017 (talk • contribs) 15:59, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Followed Vince Gordon and his career since he made the first Rockabilly band in Denmark. He is a legend within Rockabilly and everyone in the Rockabilly environment who really cares for the genre knows about him and respects his unique work. Google The Jime. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jesper77 (talk • contribs) 21:10, 17 November 2017 (UTC)  — Jesper77 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * RE. per nom: Vince mostly used his band name: The Jime. He never used his given name as an artist. RE. Wide coverage: As a beginner I have to start one place, and the text is also based on interviews and other things as there is a coming website in the name of the artist. When I look at other musicians at WIKIPIDIA I can see, that I have more external sources in many situations. But what I realy thing is an issue here is, What do you do here on WIKIPIDIA, when you have such an artist, who had an exceptional knowledge on e.g. rockabilly guitars, that his knowledge and work is cited in books, among other authours, among the “old guys” in rockabilly because of his knowledge and uniq guitarplay. So here you have a person who also is quoted as an expert. If any of you know the multiartist Fred Sokolow – he had also written a lot of books – and is used as a source: he said (is also in the bio) that Vince Gordon is the next generation of rockabilly. Even on the Brian Setzer forum, other people write about Vince Gordon. And I can continue. I will not do so. I think you got my view now. I also thing you should list Vince Gordon on the rockabilly list. Thank you for that.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rosdahl-2017 (talk • contribs) 09:20, 18 November 2017 (UTC)  — Rosdahl-2017 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * If you doubt the influence of Lasse Rosdahl Larsen, who have the artist name Vince Gordon, had on Rockabilly Music, look in to the foreword of Hal Leonards book called "Hal Leonard Rockabilly Guitar Method". Look after the chapter called "The Next Generation", and here is "Vince Gordon with his band The Jime" mentioned as a great player to listen to. Hal Leonard make the mistake to address Vince Gordon and The Jime as a Holland band. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23Gesta (talk • contribs) 22:08, 21 November 2017 (UTC)  — 23Gesta (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Comment this debate is about the page Vince-Gordon specifically: if you wish to create a page for The Jime (band) then please go ahead - although contrary to your claim, a Google search for "the Jime" doesn't appear to give any reliable sources ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 11:01, 18 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete nothing shows that Vince-Gordon is notable as an individual. If someone wishes to create an article for The Jime (band) I would reccomend they submit it through the articles for creation process.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:13, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
