This article should not be deleted because: 1. It doesn't fall under any of the Wikipedia reasons for deletion in Wikipedia:Deletion policy, 2. It meets the relevant Wikipedia:Notability (music) requirements, e.i. falls under criteria 8 and 10 in Criteria for musicians and ensembles, as well as criterion 1 in Criteria for composers and lyricists in . Namely, AllMusic lists him as a musician (drummer)https://www.allmusic.com/artist/michael-blakey-mn0000885336 on such famous records as ''Will to Power'' by Tidal Force and ''I'll Be There'' by Gloria Gaynor. He is also given credit as a composer on numerous famous records by the same music directoryhttps://www.allmusic.com/artist/michael-blakey-mn0000885336 3. Although the article might need further improvement, I believe it is written in a non-promotional manner, majority of the statements are well referenced. 4.
