[edit] Terri Hollowell

Terri Hollowell (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Was tagged speedy, but there are claims of hitting the charts which I cannot confirm and of international tours, also I cannot confirm. On google there are many hits for her as a singer, downloadable from itunes, etc., so the story seems plausible. If we get some confirmation, keep, otherwise delete.

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Bands and musicians-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 02:29, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep Keep, per sources added, which satisfy 2 of the WP:MUSIC criterion and per this: "From the late ‘70s, Walker ran his own independent label, Con Brio Records, serving as its talent scout, arranger and producer. Under his leadership, Con Brio racked up a total of 47 nationally charted singles for such artists as Don King, Dale McBride and Terri Hollowell (who is now Mrs. Jeff walker)." from walkerboutmusic.com Sethacus 03:16, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
• Added comment" Apparently, she reached #35 in the country music charts in the 70's with the song "May I", per thisSethacus 03:33, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. I've formated this reference into the article. ♫ Cricket02 14:58, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

• speedy delete per WP:CSD#A7. No evidence of any notability, no sources, article is pure garbage.--Sefringle^Talk 03:45, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Vanity article, non-notable person. --EndlessDan 12:21, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete but no prejudice against a NPOV and well-sourced rewrite. Currently it's way too fluffy/promotional in tone: it sounds like something someone would write for the "about me" box on their Myspace profile. She does pass WP:MUSIC (by a hair) so a real article might be possible, but this ain't it. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:22, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Reply. Fluffy/promotional? It is the artist's biography...It is no different than another biography on wikipedia... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.43.165.118 (talk) 13:58, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

• Keep I've done some research and she did perform in Australia in 1979, Toured with Don Williams in the UK in 1979 and also performed at Wembly Festival in 1979. I found it in an old magazine newspaper I had called "Country Music People" May 1980 article, also it was also in "Country Music RoundUp" May 1980. Her LP's are up for sale on iTunes and Amazon.. so she is a notable person. —Preceding unsigned comment added by GMVNASHVILLE (talk • contribs) 15:32, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Can you please add these sources to the article with a all information you can, i.e. date, author, name of publication, etc. and I will help format them. ♫ Cricket02 14:58, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Fails WP:BIO, no assertion of notability provided, no sources. --JForget 00:06, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Keep The article has been greatly improved since my comment, sources have been added and a song hit a national chart which passes WP:MUSIC.--JForget 17:34, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Reply. No "assertion"? There is assertion throughout this article such as charted hits, so you obviously did not read it. The problem is verification and I will try and help with that and cleanup up for WP:NPOV. ♫ Cricket02 13:45, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

• Strong keep. Certainly there is enough assertion of notability to keep this article, i.e. national charted singles and international tours, and meets notability criteria per WP:Music. I've attempted a rewrite and cleaned up for WP:NPOV. There is a Billboard Books chart reference which is reliable. This artist would not have much information available on the internet as quite simply, the internet hardly existed between 1978 and 1980 when this artist was most notable. I have asked the author to cite additional print-form references. Still, one book reference is enough for me to assume good faith, and believe the assertions of notability provided within the article to be true. ♫ Cricket02 14:44, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per Crickey02 and WP:MUSIC. The article asserts that she had a hit on Billboard. Needs more cites, for sure. Bearian 23:59, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - Sorry. Not enough reliable source material from which to compile the article. With none of her important accomplishments being reported in a news paper, she probably needs a better publicists. -- Jreferee ^(Talk) 08:30, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Non-notable singer. Keb25 08:37, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Comment. Per WP:Music An artist is notable if it meets any ONE of the criteria and this artist meets #2: Has had a charted hit on any national music chart and there is proof of that in a reputable Billboard published book source. Period. ♫ Cricket02 13:17, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Comment. Also satisfies WP:MUSIC, per the tour criterion. The sources provided state, quite clearly, she toured Australia, the UK and possibly the US. Come on! This article doesn't need deleting, it needs fine tuning.--Sethacus 16:43, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
