The result was Withdrawn by nominator. I... yeah, I obviously crossed the line on this one. I unfairly bunched Ford in with other articles I'd deleted images for... at the very least, yes, I should have done a Google search. All the more reason to stop editing Wikipedia when I'm already tired... That said, some actual sources for any of the claims in the article would be really, really nice (though I understand that AfD isn't the place to take cleanup requests).

[edit] Robben Ford

Non-notable musician, unverified assertions of notability. EVula // talk // ☯ // 05:56, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

• Keep Makes a fair number of assertions of notability, many of which are verifiable, if unreferenced. Contributing musicians are often listed in liner notes. See his album on Amazon. Should be tagged as unreferenced. —Dgies^t c 07:07, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

  Comment : AlbumS (25+ between 1972-2007) Amazon (I still got steam comin' out of my ears since reading this insult of an AfD a couple hours ago ;-) (but I did find those two new tasty youtube vids of Robben in Germany from 94 - so it's not so bad) - FAAFA 09:35, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

• Strong speedy keep: Excuse my language but I'm fucking STUNNED. Robben Ford is one of the best and most respected blues-rock-jazz guitarists alive - with a 30+ year history of being so. Numerous articles on him. "Robben Ford came to prominence as one of those smooth, jazzy West Coast studio session players whom many compared to Larry Carlton. Both played with a group called the LA Express, which backed Joni Mitchell in mid 1970s. He also played on George Harrison's Dark Horse album, plus records by people ranging from Barbra Streisand to Kenny Loggins to Little Feat." "By the mid 1980s, Ford would become part of Miles Davis' touring band. [P]layers as respected as Pete Townshend and Eric Clapton have marveled at his work, and he appeared as a featured artist in Musician Magazine's "100 Greatest Guitarists of the 20th Century" issue." Do yourself a favor - watch this video (the whole thing) - then withdraw this meritless specious AfD as truth and justice and musical history demand.

Keep this listing. I enjoy his music, Quite talented.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.35.14.136 (talk • contribs).

• Speedy Keep, with nominations of this type I wonder if it is a good idea to let just anybody come around and create nominations for deletion. The minimum one should do is to refrain from subjects one does know nothing about. Alf photoman 17:40, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
