Quite questionably notable and improvable because my searches found nothing convincingly better at all and this article would certainly need and changing improvement if kept. A look through this history will show no significant improvement ever happening and it seems a fan or someone must've been editing the article (including adding euphemisms from "passed away" to "died") yet this article has stayed the same since starting in March 2009.

Delete. Article claims notability with a charted single, but this is not backed up by the Joel Whitburn Hot Country Songs book, which does not list a "Greatest Cowboy of All" charting for any artist. Discogs does list some work by him, but I could find no substantial information on him, nor any other proof that he even exists.

Delete per nom and TenPoundHammer. No evidence of notability on the search engines. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 20:15, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
