[edit] David Freeman (musician)

Very few google hits about David in regards to music. Searching for his name turns up a lot of Flight of the Navigator hits. Shall we keep? BuickCenturyDriver (Honk, odometer) 10:37, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

• Strong keep. The number of Google hits may be sparse, but the links I do find indicate a sufficient level of notability. Take for example his mention at the bluegrass museum website. The number of Google hits is irrelevant, if the one you do find is one about an early Acadamy Award (for example) that's enough to indicate notability (although not enough to build an entire article). - Mgm|^(talk) 12:12, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
• Other relevant links at Google here. - Mgm|^(talk) 12:13, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
• Comment: Those Sources should be also in the article else we will be back here within a month Alf photoman 16:33, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Of course they should be in there. I will do that tomorrow if I don't forget, but my point is that a cursory check on Google could've prevented an AFD to begin with. If nominators check what they're nominating, they're busy adding sources more often than nominating things for deletion. - Mgm|^(talk) 23:33, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

• Speedy Keep! - somebody screwed up this nomination. This page is Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Freeman (music) and it's regarding David Freeman (musician). I'd vote to relist, but it was already relisted here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Freeman (musician). Ehem. Vote there, not here. ~a (user • talk • contribs) 05:52, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
• Strong keep - Within his genre (bluegrass), he is a Hall of Honor inductee! If that's not sufficient for inclusion in Wikipedia, what is? Cmadler 12:26, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Assuming the AfD was about his notability. Obviously, the Flight of the Navigator Hits have nothing to do with him. The International Bluegrass Hall of Honor makes him notable. ConDem^Talk 20:44, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. The International Bluegrass Hall of Honor makes him notable. I've sourced that part of the article. -- Black Falcon 00:42, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Good stub (though lacking sources). Winner of notable award isn't enough to pass WP:BIO and isn't enough to pass WP:MUSIC#Criteria for musicians and ensembles, but the article isn't vanity. ~a (user • talk • contribs) 05:56, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
