Deletion of Robert Blake (folk singer)

Comment: Shiretalk: Your comments, while heartfelt, do not address the core issue: |Notability in wikipedia. Whether or not he is heard on MTV or Top 40, has been "been consistently releasing albums", the "idea that individuals should be able to take their own path in life", that "small independent voices can add something to the greater good of society", that you "do not personally know this artist", that the article "was not intended to further the cause of a personal friend or promote Robert Blake's music for any other reason than that this man has something to add" -- all of these arguments are moot: they are not of practical importance to this debate. If you wish to save the article, support his notability in the article (based on guidelines at Wikipedia:Notability (music)) by citing |reliable sources
