[edit] Trace Bundy

Appears to be a vanity advert, although it has 514 hits on google, so I'm not sure. ~~~~ 22:25, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete "Little known" people generally do not belong in WP. --Xcali 23:00, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete If he is little known then he shouldn't really have an article. Forbsey 23:19, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Do Not Delete I wrote the article about him and by little known I meant he hasn't hit the mainstream yet. He has released 3 CDs and is gaining popularity rapidly, especially among the guitarist community. If other artists have pages on Wikipedia Trace Bundy deserves one too. Also it is not vanity because Trace Bundy did not write this article.--24.166.43.161 02:15, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete non-notable. --Etacar11 03:45, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete non notable. JamesBurns 06:07, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Do Not Delete Go ahead and check WP:MUSIC. I quote, "Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or the local scene of a city (or both, as in British hip hop); note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability." Not only is Trace Bundy the most popular musician coming out of Buena Vista/Boulder Colorado (which is verifiable, he has one various contest in the area such as "Guitars on the River," a competition for guitarist all over CO), he has also became one of the biggest names in the neo-classical guitar genre.--24.166.43.161 00:25, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment Just because you've never heard of him or don't like his style doesn't make him non-notable. Besides, I wouldn't consider any of you people voting to delete this page notable but you still have Wiki pages. What harm will it do to keep him in here?
    • Unsigned comment by User 24.166.43.161, who seems to be confusing articles and user pages. --Etacar11 19:57, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep According to Tim Thornton of Newcomer's Home, “Acoustic solo guitarist Trace Bundy . . . has been getting a lot of attention lately -- he just won first place in "Guitars on the River," a Colorado guitar competition in which [he] . . . beat out some of Colorado's best classical players." (Found at http://www.tracebundy.com/press.html) The information is accurate, verifiable, and since he won a Colorado guitar competition, as Tim Thornton put it, "beat out some of Colorado's best classical players," I think he is notable enough to stay in Wikipedia. ---IanManka 19:40, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, not meeting the guidelines for musicians at WP:MUSIC. Why have guidelines if we're going to have a big argument in each individual case about whether to apply them? I'm sure you have to be pretty good to win first place at Guitars on the River in Salida, Colorado; but it's not exactly a "major music award". Frjwoolley 19:37, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
