  • Weak Delete - no sources are provided to establish notability per WP:MUSIC. The article claims that he's performed at festivals and been covered in Country Weekly, but sources are necessary to verify this information per WP:ATT. Delete unless sourced by the end of this AfD.

  • Delete In its current form which does not pass WP:V. Probably would pass if properly sourced, but not sure. TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio) 19:50, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - generally, the poor quality of an article or its stubbiness is not a good reason to delete. In this case, I have a hard time holding my normal position, because this article is mostly cut and pasted from copyrighted material. Google any phrase, enclosing in quotation marks, from the article and you'll see what I mean. Bobanny 20:40, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
  • comment - you say "generally, the poor quality of an article or its stubbiness is not a good reason to delete" - I agree, but that doesn't stop 3-day-old stubs or reworkable articles from being deleted. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 01:26, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete for now, given lack of reliable sources. It's worth noting that this gentleman showed up first at Wikipedia:Recent Deaths, a frequent target of hoaxes and (well-meaning) unencyclopedic memorials. Xoloz 19:25, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep I hope this article can stay up until someone has a chance to bring it up to Wikipedia's high standards because this article is a type of memorial to Buck Jones! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Duke4172 (talk • contribs)
  • Delete as copyvio of this page but it could be recreated as Jones seems notable enough and was, at least, covered in Country Weekly ([1]) StuartDouglas 08:25, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
  • keep - I think this 3-day-old article could have been tagged for cleanup, before going to AfD. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 01:31, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
