  • Seemingly non-notable musician. Prod removed by creator. tomasz. 10:36, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep This musician is notable. Article could use work but I hardly think it should be deleted. --Belinrahs (talk) 14:30, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
any reasons? say, per WP:BAND? i don't see why he's notable. tomasz. 14:43, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Strong Delete: Just seventeen total Ghits, a few of them this article and mirrors. IS there any reason whatsoever to think this fellow is notable? Many assertions of the bands he has been in and the albums he has made (which allmusic.com has never heard of), but there's no supporting evidence for any of it. Perhaps this fellow is a local session sideman, but that's about it.  RGTraynor  15:58, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
  • I attempted to find evidence of his albums being released on a significant record label, but looking here, "Jeff Anderson Enterprises", it's doubtful. I searched a library database of newspaper and magazine articles, and found six very brief mentions of him from the late 1980s and early 1990s in the Austin American Statesman. Most of them just mention that he is performing locally and has a CD out (or is "about to head into the studio"), a few are just performance listings with no other info, and the most extensive one says this:
    "IN THE STUDIO: Blues rocker Jeff Anderson will be entering the recording studio for sessions on his second album with John Main, former bassist for Huey Lewis, as producer. Anderson will take his music long distance for the recording, traveling to Studio 56 in Hollywood for the sessions. Anderson's first album, El Jefe, featured accompaniment by the Double Trouble/Arc Angels rhythm section of Chris Layton and Tommy Shannon. The new album will also feature various and sundry guests, possibly including Main, who will join Anderson for several live dates in Texas." July 15, 1993, page 4.
    I will add the references if the article is kept, but I don't think it's quite enough to pass WP:N. --Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 17:38, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
