Keep. Have added reference and expanded per undeletion request. Wilson is a significant figure in New Zealand music history, as both a singer and songwriter. He is featured in the seminal book on the development of New Zealand popular music, Blue Smoke: The Lost Dawn of New Zealand Popular Music 1918–1964 by Chris Bourke (Auckland University Press, 2010) with two pages on his life and career (pages 234–236). He was a child star, and later was HMV's first country-music signing in New Zealand, and one of New Zealand's most prolific singer-songwriters of the 1950s. He toured widely in New Zealand and Australia. More recently, songs written by him have been covered by artists including Patsy Riggir and the Topp Twins.

Keep Article now demonstrates that it meets GNG. Schwede 66 18:09, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as the article has been improved since nomination by the addition of references to significant coverage in multiple reliable sources so that WP:GNG is passed and deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 22:44, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
