biographer has personal knowledge of the subject. no connection to Arista Records whatsoever. no connection to Lonnie Mack whatsoever. --12.38.238.66 (talk) 11:44, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

• Keep - Completing nomination on behalf of IP. Above text was copied from article talk page. As for my own view, previous nomination from 2011 was a clear keep, and more sources are easily found. Easily passes WP:GNG. --Finngall ^talk 14:10, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

• Delete - 1) No link supports biographers clams of subjects early life. All links are toward a periodical but nothing supporting claim. 2) No link or evidence of career joining Arista Records.

Biographer appears to have personal knowledge of equipment as in "1963 body and 1965 neck, pick-up, amp and effects". No supporting Links Whatsoever. This page has problems with verifiability from reliable sources and does meet the Wikipedia Criteria for speedy Deletion.Ifyouwill (talk) 16:04, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

@Ifyouwill: Question - Are you the same person as the IP above? --Finngall ^talk 16:28, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

hi, "Question - Are you the same person as the IP above?" What? Ifyouwill (talk) 15:21, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

@Ifyouwill:

— Ifyouwill (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

• Keep – (responding to IP request on my talk page) On the surface, I don't see why this is nominated for deletion. She has a AllMusic bio,[1] which also has four album reviews, and is mentioned in blues journals like Living Blues, Blues Review, etc. (these refs could be added). 12.38.238.66, Ifyouwill, and 174.97.1.181 (who requested my comment) appear to be WP:Single-purpose accounts and I question their motives here. I'll change to "delete" if someone gives some better reasons. —Ojorojo (talk) 15:50, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

Please look more closely Ojorojo. There is no verifiable reference for connection to a major record label on Allmusic ether. All recordings listed there are self-produced. WP:NPOV No connection to Arista Records can be found. Motive is Truth 174.97.1.181 (talk) 18:23, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

• Keep  Google can be used for searches other than the name of the topic.  For example ["Kelly Richey" Arista], shows that Kelly Richey "started touring in 1986 with a band on Arista records called Stealin' Horses".  The problem as stated for Arista can be fixed with editing.  The deletes also correctly note that the article contains some material that does not have inline citations and appears to not be verifiable.  Again, the problem as stated can be fixed with editing.  As per WP:Editing policy, fixable problems are not reasons for deletion.  Unscintillating (talk) 23:26, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

No, *Stealin' Horses* was a single solo album and had Mandy Meyer and Steve Lukather on Electric Guitars. While no one named Kelly nor Richey sang or played a single solo note on Arista Records Stealin' Horses or anything else Arista Records! Not a Signed Artist to Arista! More to come...174.97.1.181 (talk) 00:04, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

• Was it too much trouble to do the Google search I provided?  The 3rd snippet states, "Kelly Richey, an American blues rock guitarist, singer, and composer ... joining Stealin' Horses in 1986, the band was signed to Arista records."  The 7th snippet states, "At 23, Richey joined Arista band Stealin' Horses, and she toured and".  The 8th states, "produced by Kiya Heartwood, of the '90s band Stealin' Horses, which was on the Arista label."  The 9th and last states, "Shortly after joining Stealin' Horses in 1986, the band was signed to Arista records."  Unscintillating (talk) 00:24, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Thank You Unscintillating. http://waddywachtelinfo.com/StealinHorses.html no kelly richey here ether 174.97.1.181 (talk) 00:55, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

One more note Unscintillating. As you can see from the Waddy Wachtel info Arista released that album 1885, not later. She in not on the record and has never been signed to a Major Record Label as her Wikibio States! This is the beginning of a deep credibility issue 174.97.1.181 (talk) 01:34, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

as a kid I was a janitor for Bill Graham. I met Richie Furay and he invited me to play with him. I did for a while but that does not make me a member of his record company. The record company did not sign Kelly Richey or me. I have a phone call into Jim O'Neal and am waiting on a return call to verify if Living Blues Magazine ever did a review or write-up on anything Kelly Richey. If she has been reviewed by a writer in LB I will apologize to Ojorojo and Unscintillating for dragging yous into it and I’ll vote "keep".174.97.1.181 (talk) 01:53, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

I see what you did on you google Unscintillating Ok, Ok, I’ll try this again. Stealin horses did “One" Album for Arista, Solo, Single (1). Released in 1985. Other albums were produced and released independently. Not Arista nor Clive Davis or any other Major Record Label. The label dropped them. Kelly Richey has never been associated with Arista, Clive Davis or a Major Label. It's all debunked by it's timeline. Please find one Arista record anyplace that has Kelly Richey on it. Bet you can't! Anyway, Clive was kinda busy with Whitney Houston back then. 174.97.1.181 (talk) 02:35, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
