Woah! Isn't this something notable? This article claims the guy is a successful recording artist? Should we really be speedying it. I can see there's plenty of work needs doing to clean it up, but that doesn't make it speedyable, does it? James James 13:31, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
- That info is not mentioned in the article. From what I know of all of the deletion guidelines, the article itself is supposed to provide evidence of the subject's importance. Perhaps a speedy is a bit over-zealous (I am a deletionist so please excuse me!), but the article is really not very encyclopedic as it stands. I mean, "wife and kid" type of info is hardly what you look up in an encyclopedia is it? I'll give this some time for cleanup, but in its current state I genuinely think it merits deletion.

- Well, the article says he is a recording artist who has had a successful album and a couple of hit singles, which a bit of googling reveals to be the truth. I have cleaned it up into a serviceable stub. Have a look at it now. If you think it is fit for deletion, enter it for AfD. I think it would be sure to fail and you'd likely meet some opposition for even nominating it, but it's up to you. Wife and kid info is common in our articles, I think. Most biographies mention the existence of a family. There's no call for more detail than that though, I agree. Please don't put any more similar articles up for speedy unless you're certain that they are eminently deletable -- we're supposed to be building an encyclopaedia, not ripping it apart ;-) -- and I do ask you to show more consideration to the creators of articles, particularly when they are editors in good faith. A note on the creator's page, asking about "notability", would have been a good way to approach this. James James 23:51, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removed single
To whomever put that "Every time I hear your name" is Jason Aldean's hit. This is KEITH ANDERSON's not his. Please do not re-add it being his single.
Thanks, Faris,
[edit] How the HECK did "why" become a #1?
Ok, can someone enlighten me to the way that "why" became a number one hit? I totally HATED that one and thought it was a really wussy and weak song and that if he was going to have a number one it would have been hicktown. So, what are a lot of people into those type of songs or what exactly because I just can't stand to hear that one, ever. No offense to anyone. Faris b 16:43, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Asphalt cowboy
I removed "Asphalt Cowboy" because I never, ever heard it on the radio and because the video for "Amarillo Sky" aired on CMT, I figured that "Asphalt Cowboy" would be out but it wasn't so I removed it, if anyone can give proof that it will be a single, they are welcome to add it back after "Amarillo Sky".
Faris b 06:21, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
Well, we've solved that problem... "Armadillo Amarillo Sky" just finished its chart run, and his follow-up is a song called "Johnny Cash", which is the lead-off for a second, yet-un-named album. So no "Ashpalt Cowboy". TenPoundHammer 16:50, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
Ok, thanks. I'm glad, I didn't really like that song anyway.
Thanks,
