[edit] Steve Poltz

Tagged for speedy but not a candidate. I have done no research as to whether this passes WP:MUSIC, but there are several google hits, and I suspect that he may do. No vote for now. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:16, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I think that Poltz indeed does pass WP:MUSIC, so I am voting keep. Sjakkalle (Check!) 30 June 2005 09:45 (UTC)

• Strong Keep. He appears to be completing a fairly extensive national tour of the United States [1]. That's sufficient for notability according to WP:MUSIC. Also, his CDs are available on amazon. Pburka 13:27, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete this. There are plenty of forums for struggling musos to flog thier wares. This is an encyclopedia. Are my kids ever gonna turn in a paper on Steve Poltz, citing wiki as thier source?

• Strong Keep. He's rather well known, especially in Southern California and New York. He has toured internationally to support a platinum album with Jewel Kilcher, has co-written hit songs, has a fan club, and his musical style is unique. He's also appeared in at least one Music Video on MTV. If he doesn't match your criteria, I'd suggest you change it. It would be good to focus more on musical contribution rather than # of google hits (which are arbitrary and trend based I think.)
