Draft:Henry Ade
| Submission declined on 21 December 2023 by Sungodtemple (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Comment: Please read WP:MOS this is NOT formatted like an encyclopaedia article. It would also help reviewers if the sources were placed directly after the content that they support, rather than dumped at the end. Theroadislong (talk) 16:22, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Forums are not reliable, and neither is an unpublished interview. Also remove any puffery like 'widely known and respected' and format the article into an appropriate style using wikitext. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 15:09, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

Henry Ade was a steel guitar player and country music promoter. He was widely known and respected by many in the music industry. He played with many of the greatest artists of the time such as Patsy Cline, Billy Walker, Bobby Helms, The Lennon Sisters, Loretta Lynn, Louis Armstrong, Tex Ritter, Jim Ed Brown, Gail Davis (Annie Oakley), The Duke of Paducah, Ernest Tubb, Smiley Burnette, and so many more.
Early Career: Henry started playing steel guitar at the age of 9 and went professionally at the age of 13. He played backup for many artists including several Grand Ole Opry members. He started his own band called 'Henry Ade and His Stardusters' in the mid 1950's. They played all over Indiana including the then ever-so-popular Buck Lake Ranch. Henry's most notable recording was with Bobby Helms (whom he played and toured with often) in the song "Jingle Bell Rock."
Later Career: As the years went on, Henry began to turn his interest to the business side of the music industry. The Duke of Paducah introduced Henry to Tennessee Jim Leake, a promoter at the time. Tennessee Jim and Henry went into business together until Jim's passing in 1982. At this point, Henry and his wife Judy, took over the business and changed the name to Henry Ade Productions, Inc. Henry went on to become a lifetime member of the Country Music Academy (CMA), a long time member and honoree of International Entertainment Buyers Association (IEBA), and was awarded so many honors throughout his career from many notable organizations.
