[edit] Rocky Gordon

No sources, only claim to notability seems to be that his daughter was on American Idol. Baseball,Baby! balls•strikes 21:33, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

It's a fact that Rocky Gordon is a jazz musician that I have reviewed, and so has Jazz Times magazine to name a few. I support this artist 100%. Danny Desart —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.230.140.240 (talk • contribs) .

  • Delete Fails WP:MUSIC. I couldn't find any reliable independent sources on him. He's released three albums on what I see as an obscure indie jazz label (Misata). --Wafulz 21:54, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

KEEP!! In 2002 Hilary Sager reviewed the CD Perfect World in Jazz Times Magazine and although was not a fan of the production, she did say the following, "...Careful listening reveals Gordon's talent for crafting a melody, and devising understated memorable hooks." In addition, I did hear Gordon get airplay on KOAS 105.7 and KXPT 97.1 in Vegas a few years back. I would check the history of Jazz Time Magazine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.230.140.240 (talk • contribs)

  • Keep This I found Rocky all over the internet. And I know he's a very good up and coming jazz musician. He worked with Spyro Gyra's keyboardist and producer, Tom Schuman. And I know that to be accepted in Liebman's Saxophone Masterclass you have to send an audition tape or CD. Liebman only chooses 15 or 16 people from all around the world, all ages. How much more credible can you get? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ravioli3 (talk • contribs)

  • KEEP!! This is an up and coming artist with a building underground following. He's worked with some heavy dudes in the industry over the years, like producer Dennis McKay for one, who has produced everyone from Chick Corea to Judas Priest. He's just not a household name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jazzdude (talk • contribs)

  • Comment. As the article stands it should be deleted. However, if those people who are in favour of the article remaining could at least improve the article with sourced facts then it should stay. --Richhoncho 17:21, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per massive sockpuppetry at this AFD so far. Ryūlóng 05:25, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
    • And failure of WP:MUSIC, of course. Why this article didn't fall under {{db-bio}} is beyond me. Ryūlóng 05:29, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Keep Who cares what the article should fall under. It has proven credibility for an upstart musician. User:Bustapete
      Another new account created solely for this AfD - David Oberst 06:31, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - fails WP:MUSIC, only keep votes appear to be anons or new accounts created to push this article. - David Oberst 06:31, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Edit The Editors** Who ever heard of Mr. Oberst outside of his reply? What does someone from the northwest territories know about jazz and credible musicians? I am at the least a columnist. I write for Smoothvibes.com and freelance for Jazz Times and Downbeat Magazine. Where are his credentials? Media:Danny Desart
      • I can hardly quarrel with Mr Desart's appraisal of our relative jazz credentials. However, I can certainly recognize anonymous vote stacking attempts, which I'm sure he would abhor, and ad hominem attacks, his position on which I have much less surety. - David Oberst 05:07, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
