~~No assertion of notability on the page Speedy Delete - WP:A7~~ Neonchameleon (talk) 18:34, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Twelve gold & two platinum albums seems like a claim of notability, & I found this [1] to back it up. The fact that an article is poor is no reason to delete it.TheLongTone (talk) 20:11, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Australian country music isn't that well covered online, but hall of fame members are notable. WP: BEFORE exists for articles like this.The-Pope (talk) 01:22, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The gold records satisfy WP:MUSICBIO. WWGB (talk) 03:24, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - notable country & western artist in his own right. Dan arndt (talk) 09:19, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, pretty clear notability and a very good example of why one should conduct at least a cursory search for sources before calling for A7. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 09:26, 6 January 2014 (UTC).[reply]
Keep - definitely notable now. And I disagree with the claim that you should search before calling for A7. Before nominating something for AfD, yes. But A7 is about what is actually in the article. Neonchameleon (talk) 12:03, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There's enough there to meet notability requirements.LM2000 (talk) 04:00, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
