unreferenced, only sign of WP:N is that he played with Louis Armstrong. moɳo 04:04, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The fact that the article was unreferenced requires the corresponding tag - not AfD. And the first reference was not hard to find. The statement that Notability is asserted only by having played with Armstrong is not correct: he also played with other major figures, including Buddie Petit, Carroll Dickerson, King Oliver, Jimmie Noone, Tiny Parham, Johnny Dodds. Certainly not notable along the lines of Shakira or The Beatles, but.... --Technopat (talk) 05:42, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Only 2 News hits (both from '46), but News doesn't seem to have as much coverage back then. Me, I'd be tempted to say that ANYONE who played with Louis Armstrong "for some years" and appeared in his movies was notable, just for that. David V Houston (talk) 13:01, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Added several references to the article, from the many references on Hall found at Google Book Search. Noted jazz critic Hugues Panassié said he was one of the three greatest jazz drummers of his era. Added links to two films with Armstrong which feature closeups of him drumming.

Strong Keep. Notable as one of the most influential and highly regarded of his generation in his field. Infrogmation (talk) 18:11, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
