[edit] David Betesh

Delete - No info anywhere about this project/person besides personal webpage, thus not claim of number of sales is not verifiable. Wickethewok 17:45, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Go to www.merkaz.com and there is official mention of this project.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Davido629 (talk • contribs).

• Delete for NN and vanity bio. This project might just barely clear the WP:MUSIC bar for notability. This guy doesn't. He isn't the actual recording artist, according to the website. Props to him for his preservation work, but as far as I know, the only fellow in modern music history prominent for churning out music without writing, performing or conducting it is Alan Parsons, and this fellow's a wee bit short of that.

• Comment - I'd like to point out that the above site is the same site that was linked to before. It seems like a nice project devoted to a good cause. Does your project have any sort of press coverage or anything written about it by anyone not associated with it? Note that the bio is clearly non-notable, but I'd like to see if the project is also notable (eg. has verifiably sold over 5000 CDs - also note that he does not claim 5000 separate CDs, but 500 11-CD sets sold, if that matters).

• Comment. This individual does seem to be important in the field of Sephardic Cantorial work. A copy of his work has spotted recently at the Library of the Jewish Theological Seminary in Manhattan.
  • Comment. Copies of my works are sold in bookstores; I'm a multiply-published RPG game author. That doesn't make me notable by definition. RGTraynor 14:52, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
