Comment A
book was written about him, and he has written a book books about banjo playing. I have started adding references, but I need to take a break now. StonyBrookbabble 22:57, 12 April 2024 (UTC)reply
Keep per
WP:HEY; per
WP:GNG—we have
WP:SIGCOV from the independent and reliable St. Petersburg Times, from a
trade journal and from the
book written about him (and these refs barely scratch the surface of what is out there on this elderly prolific artist and educator—after taking another break I will look for more); and per
WP:ARTIST #1 (cited by peers as an authority in his field) #2 (renowned for implementing popular field workshops for beginners all around the world) and #3 (large body of highly acclaimed instruction books). StonyBrookbabble 12:26, 16 April 2024 (UTC)reply

KEEP I think being the subject of a third-party book should qualify as notable. True, McFarland are niche publishers, but it is nonetheless third-party coverage.

keep with new sources added by @
StonyBrook this article should pass notability through
WP:ARTIST#1. Agree the Stern and Brooks book should weigh heavily.
