[edit] Chris Von Sneidern
Article doesn't make it clear why he would pass WP:MUSIC, as his albums seem to be self-released. However, there are some incoming links that suggest he may be notable as a guest musician, which isn't really discussed here. I thought I'd list it here rather than PRODding to see if somebody recognizes him and can add independent evidence that he has a "cult following" (which might imply MUSIC #7) or is notable as a guest musician.

- Surprisingly, this artist seems to have a very strong following, especially in the Bay Area. The San Francisco papers bring him up on a regular basis[1] [2] and he gets a lot of references for his work with John Wesley Harding, including places like Rolling Stone (which describes him as a "local pop wunderkind"). He's got a Billboard bio here. Unfortunately, this article is the Billboard bio with some words changed. So, while I think the subject is at least a weak keep, the article needs to be rewritten entirely to avoid the copy-and-paste-ishness. Tony Fox (arf!) 21:50, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

- Weak Keep, repeated coverage in newspapers probably pushes him just over the line. Lankiveil (talk) 05:14, 23 December 2007 (UTC).
