Reviewing the criteria for retention, notability is achieved by a minimum of two secondary sources.  This subject was an honorary mention in the International Song Competition and has been the subject of interest in regional arts print media.  The ''Murfreesboro Pulse'' surveys country, western and folk musicians in an area of the country known for producing this genre of music.    Supporting these two secondary sources is a listing of original works, which strongly reinforce notability.Reviewing the criteria for retention, notability is achieved by a minimum of two secondary sources.    We ask whether the sources are sufficiently Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources|reliable so as to be independent, and if so, are there enough sources to establish ‘notability.’  Reliability is assessed through three criteria: (1) the nature of the work; (2) the creator; and (3) the publisher.  These three indicia are also assessed in the context of the article’s subject. With respect to Wikipedia:Notability|notability itself, we look to three different criteria: (1) significance not requiring original research (2) reliability; (3) secondary sourcing; and (4) independence.  Significant coverage does not require the article to hold the subject as the main topic of the work.  Reliability itself requires verifiable citations; sources may be published works in all forms and media.  In additional, musicians fall under usic|notability guidelines specific to their art, but “ failure to meet any of these criteria does not mean an article must be deleted; conversely, meeting any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept.”  This discussion has presented standards as absolute, which are not – in fact – so rigid.The context framing this article subject is the country music genre, its venues and its supporting institutions. These are hard subjects to document, in part, due to the preference of this community for oral/aural and electronic communications.  With respect to reliability, the song competition and the ''Murfreesboro Pulse'' are acknowledge sources reviewing this genre; the subject of their coverage is a competing and performing musician leaving a record through established tours; the organizer of the competition and the publisher of the ''Murfreesboro Pulse'' are established in this genre. With respect to notability, the coverage is signficant enough so as to not require original research; the links are provided.  Reliability is established, see above. The sourcing is secondary, independent of the subject. ‘Keep
