[edit] Brad Davis (musician)

Played with a few notable musicians but that doesn't make him notable himself. I've found no reliable sources. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 22:00, 13 May 2008 (UTC) Withdrawn User:Hit bull, win steak and User:MyGrassIsBlue have found sufficient sources that I feel criterion of WP:MUSIC is now met. His very common name did make searching for sources very difficult, however. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 17:31, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

• Keep. Reliable sources: All Music Guide and their review of one of his albums. There's also a good interview here, a Sing Out! review of an album here, and a bunch of other stuff on Google News if you feel like looking. Easily meets C1 as a musician, and also meets WP:MUSIC as a composer/lyricist, since his songs have been covered by Tim McGraw, Jo-El Sonnier, and Billy Bob Thornton. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 23:28, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

• If you can find more non-review/non-interview sources, I might be persuaded. The AMG source is a good find. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 00:12, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

• Keep. Reliable sources: Flatpicking Guitar Magazine article on Brad Davis, [http://infoweb.newsbank.com.remote.scccld.lib.mo.us:8080/iw-search/we/InfoWeb?p_product=AWNB&p_theme=aggregated5&p_action=doc&p_docid=1102BA2E5F104158&p_docnum=11&p_queryname=3

• All three of those sources lead to a login screen. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 16:50, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Then get a library card with a library that has access to Newsbank. These are newspapers across the country. Obviously, full text cannot be posted on other websites without the permission of the article writer/publication (copyright violation).--MyGrassIsBlue (talk) 17:01, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

• Delete. As there are no reliable sources cited, I am persuaded that the article does not comply with the verifiability policy. Stifle (talk) 18:27, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

• Keep notable session musician with an extensive/impressive resume. Wikipedia has many articles similar to this. No different then Brent Mason or Arlen Roth or Dan Huff or Redd Volkaert. Anger22 (Talk 2 22) 02:54, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

• Other stuff exists. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 03:00, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Exactly. "used in a perfectly valid manner" to support opinion. Anger22 (Talk 2 22) 03:14, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
