Not notable- if you search Google very little, if anything comes up. If you go on JSTOR, it is only mentioned in passing. This article should be deleted due to the lack of notability. WizardGamer775 (talk) 15:06, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Geschichte's found features and reviews. There's also [6] which is a review of a performance. Also used as a touch point for comparing other groups against in books about bluegrass: [7] "this followup just doesn’t have the legs that made Blue Rose (Sugar Hill SH-3768), a Fink-Marxer collaboration with other sisters of the folk-grass sorority (Laurie Lewis, Sally Van Meter, and Molly Mason), such a strong pacer from the gate."; [8] "the way contemporary performers like Cathy Fink, Mike Cross, Blue Rose, and John McCutcheon bring an intimate knowledge of tradition into contemporary professional usage.".

Keep- meets WP:MUSICBIO criterion 6, "Is an ensemble that contains two or more independently notable musicians." Also the new citations provided by above editors helps. Maxcreator (talk) 21:58, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Withdraw- Thank you for providing the citations. I ask that anyone with the authority to do so to please cancel or assist me in withdrawing this AfD. WizardGamer775 (talk) 00:07, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
