Comment: Are either of those notable accomplishments though? It doesn't seem like either fit the criteria for notability of winning a major musical award in otability (music). Christian artists win the Grammys and Juno awards all the time, both of which would count for notability. I don't think his inclusion in these "halls of fame" do though. They don't even meet Wikipedia's notability standards. You can't say someone is notable for being in a hall of fame, when the hall of fame their in isn't notable
