Jess hates written a handful of notable songs, and won an ASCAP award which is a dime a dozen or worse ("among the most performed" usually means "it charted for more than an eyeblink"). I can't find a single source that gives any form of biographical information. Every single hit on Google/Books/News/etc. is only "This song was written by Jess Cates and [insert writer here]". Simply writing notable songs DOES NOT make you inherently notable if nobody has even mentioned you more than trivially, not even if ASCAP did give you an award, don't try to tell me otherwise.

Keep. The discussion (particularly Simon Dodd's, which is well-thought-out but off target) boils down to whether an article about a notable person should be deleted because it has proven difficult to write more than a stub article about the subject based on commonly available sources. I don't know of any Wikipedia policy or guideline calling for deletion of such articles. If the laundry list of songs is deleted, the article is still more informational and better sourced than the great majority of the porn performer articles that I've suffered my way through doing BLP cleanups, and the ASCAP award much more substantial than the awards used to demonstrate notability for such performers. And there are other things out there that can be used to further expand the article. [1] Hullaballoo Wolfowitz ( talk) 23:26, 19 July 2009 (UTC) reply
