Not enough sources exist to write an article of substance. Questionable notability. Mostly untouched for eleven years. Vmavanti ( talk) 00:52, 27 April 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Keep by default - no valid reason for deletion has been offered. Of the three things mentioned, the first might become a reason if sufficient legwork is demonstrated - I'd like to know what Tom Lord and other major jazz discographers have listed, and sadly I do not have access to Lord's book right now.

  • Delete - I can't find any coverage in a secondary source, let along significant coverage that is reliable and independent. Delete. Ikjbagl ( talk) 02:11, 27 April 2020 (UTC) reply
another comment: Is there even a source to prove that the one sentence in the article is true? I couldn't find one, nothing turns up at all for "Dixieland Records inc". Ikjbagl ( talk) 02:14, 27 April 2020 (UTC) reply
I resent the comments by poster number one. What does "keep by default" mean? Is it the old Groucho Marx song "Whatever it is, I'm against it"? I don't know. The accusation that I have offered "no valid reasons" is obviously false. Read my sentences again. Those are valid reasons stated simply and plainly, so anyone can understand them. By contrast, what is one to make of "if sufficient legwork is demonstrated"? This is speculation, suggestion, insinuation, and the invention of an imaginary criterion. When and how are "sufficient legwork" demonstrated? Where did that come from? If there is a specific point, get to it, and let's hear it. But let's not play games simply because one has strong feelings or wishes but no facts or reasons.

I don't disagree with you here, Vmavanti, but I still feel new on Wiki, so I often feel like I'm doing the wrong thing no matter what I do! (in jest,) Ikjbagl ( talk) 04:00, 27 April 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. This article is one sentence long and cites no sources at all. If sources are later found to support having an article and establish notability, the article can be re-created at that time. -- Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:43, 27 April 2020 (UTC) reply
Tom Lord's discography is just that...a list. There's not enough content to provide material for an article.
