The subject of the article does not meet the criteria for notability per WP:MUSIC Nv8200p talk 02:23, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- KEEP Wikipedia should be inclusive not exclusive. I am a firm believer that most bios should be allowed to remain. All bios need is sources and a minimal standard of notability. The larger Wikipedia is the best of a resource it is. One million articles is much better that one hundred thousand articles. It should be a source of information on the most trivial matters to the most important. Callelinea 04:05, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Maybe yes, maybe no, but this kind of comment does not belong in the AFD. Try the WP:Village Pump CitiCat 05:02, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
- Speedy Keep searching for '"eric reed" jazz' on Google pulls up 52,000 hits. One of the top hits was a New York Times review of a performance. He has a long entry on allaboutjazz.com and allmusic.com. He had three albums chart on Billboard's Top Jazz Albums chart. Quite notable. Chubbles 05:00, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per Chubbles and WP:MUSIC, but rename to Eric Reed (musician) per naming conventions. He has reached the top 10 on Billboard's jazz album chart and should be deemed notable at least by chart performance. --Metropolitan90 06:53, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep pending copyedit to better comply with WP:ATT (using the sources above given by Chubbles would be an excellent start). EyeSereneTALK 18:36, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Seems to have worked with important musicians in that domain. JForget 01:08, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Keep per above comments. Also, rename per Metropolitan90.--JayJasper 14:05, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
